Stilbenoids chemistry

The phytochemical diversity of C. saliva is well illustrated by more than 500 com-potmds isolated from this plant, encompassing all major classes of phytochemicals (polyketides, terpenoids, alkaloids, flavonoids, stilbenoids, oxylipins). Undoubtedly, the most important and peculiar secondary metabolites of C. saliva are cannabinoids, a class of mono- to tetracyclic C21 (or C22) meroterpenoids encompassing more than 100 members. These compounds are synthesized in secretory cells of glandular trichomes, most concentrated in unfertilized female cannabis flowers prior to senescence. A number of detailed accounts on the cannabinoid chemistry have been reported in the literature [6-8], also recently by Appendino et al. [9]. In this paragraph, we will provide an updated, although not comprehensive, account of the chemistry of this fascinating class of secondary metabolites.
