[[Cannabis]] and its secondary metabolite content have recently seen a surge in research interest. Cannabis [[terpene]]s and [[terpenoid]]s in particular are increasingly the focus of research efforts due to the possibility of their contribution to the overall therapeutic effect of [[Cannabis (drug)|medicinal cannabis]].

They are therefore not easily applicable in the high-throughput environment of a cannabis breeding program. The method presented here, however, is based on a simple [[wikipedia:Hexane|hexane]] extract from 40 mg of biomass, with 50 μg/mL [[wikipedia:Dodecane|dodecane]] as internal standard, and a gradient of less than 30 minutes.

"Cannabis sativa research trends, challenges, and new-age perspectives"

Cannabis sativa L. is one of the oldest known medicinal plants, cultivated for at least 10,000 years for several agricultural and industrial applications. However, the plant became controversial owing to some psychoactive components that have adverse effects on human health. In this review, we analyze the trends in cannabis research for the past two centuries. We discuss the historical transitions of cannabis from the category of "herbal medicine" to an illicit drug and back to a medicinal product post-legalization. In addition, we address the new-age application of immuno-suppressive and anti-inflammatory cannabis extracts for the treatment of COVID-19 inflammation. We further address the influence of the legal aspects of cannabis cultivation for medicinal, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological research ... (Full article...)
