What is CBC?

CBC may not be as widely known as other cannabinoids, but it’s been recognized since 1966. It’s a naturally occurring phytocannabinoid that’s non-psychoactive, like CBD. It’s also the second-most prominent cannabinoid found in cannabis.

Though it can make up the majority of a cannabis plant’s profile, modern plants are bred and cultivated to produce high THC content, leaving few with a high concentration of CBC.

As far as its mechanism, CBC has commonalities with THC and CBD and is produced through a conversion of cannabigerol (CBG) and cannabigerolic acid (CBGA). The result is CBCA, which is then decarboxylated into CBC.

Like CBD, CBC doesn’t bind to certain cannabinoid receptors and doesn’t produce a euphoric effect. Instead, it reacts with receptors like TRPV1 and TRPA1, which naturally increases the endocannabinoids in the body and activates the endocannabinoid system.

Though it has no “high” like THC, CBC can be mood altering. Some users report a feeling of relaxation or happiness.

Groundbreaking Clinical Research: CBC’s Therapeutic Potential

Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics Review (2024)

The most comprehensive analysis of CBC’s therapeutic potential comes from a landmark review published in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (2024) by researchers at Penn State University. This authoritative review examines CBC’s pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and receptor profile, establishing it as a cannabinoid with unique therapeutic potential that warrants further investigation.

According to this peer-reviewed research, CBC has been suggested to have disparate therapeutic benefits including anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, antibacterial, and antinociceptive (pain-relieving) effects. The review emphasizes that while most focus on medical benefits of cannabinoids has centered on THC and CBD, preliminary studies on CBC indicate this phytocannabinoid may have unique therapeutic applications.

Neurochemistry International Study: CBC and Brain Development (2013)

One of the most significant discoveries about CBC comes from groundbreaking research published in Neurochemistry International (2013) by Noriko Shinjyo and Vincenzo Di Marzo. This study revealed that CBC has a positive effect on adult neural stem progenitor cells (NSPCs), which are essential components of brain function in both health and pathology.

The research demonstrated that CBC raises the viability of NSPCs while inhibiting their differentiation into astroglia, possibly through up-regulation of ATP and adenosine signaling. This finding suggests CBC may support neurogenesis (the formation of new neurons) and could have significant implications for neurodegenerative disease treatment and cognitive health maintenance.

CBC’s Unique Mechanism of Action

According to the 2024 review, CBC is structurally and pharmacologically unique from other cannabinoids, despite sharing the common precursor molecule cannabigerol. These differences engender differing therapeutic potentials, making CBC a distinct therapeutic agent rather than simply another cannabinoid.

How Does CBC Work?

The endocannabinoid system is a complex cell-signaling system that was first investigated to determine the mechanism of THC. Research into its functions is ongoing, but we know that it impacts a wide variety of functions in the body, including sleep, mood, memory, appetite, and reproduction. It’s completely independent of cannabis – the compounds in cannabis just act upon it.

Three core components make up the endocannabinoid system: endocannabinoids, receptors, and enzymes.

Endocannabinoids are similar to the cannabinoids in cannabis, but they’re produced naturally in the body. The two identified endocannabinoids are anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG).

The two main endocannabinoid receptors are:

• Cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1), which is located in the central nervous system.
• Cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2), which is found in the peripheral nervous system and immune cells.

Endocannabinoids and cannabinoids can act on either receptor to produce different effects.

The two enzymes in the endocannabinoid system are:

• Fatty acid amide hydrolase, which breaks down anandamide.
• Monoacylglycerol acid lipase, which breaks down 2-AG.

This complex system can regulate several processes, including mood, inflammatory response, metabolism, memory, sleep, cardiovascular function, pain reception, motor control, reproduction, stress response, and skin and nerve function.

Because of these diverse processes, different cannabinoids from cannabis may be effective at stimulating endocannabinoids and alleviating the symptoms of many conditions. In addition, CBC may be effective when it works with other cannabinoids due to the “entourage effect.”

At OilWell CBD, we stay ahead of the curve with as many legal cannabinoids and their applications as possible. Our broad-spectrum CBD products have complete cannabinoid profiles, including CBC and other synergistic compounds, to address your needs.

CBC Therapeutic Uses

Neurogenesis and Brain Development

Based on the landmark 2013 study in Neurochemistry International, CBC demonstrates remarkable potential for supporting brain health through its positive effects on neural stem progenitor cells (NSPCs). The research showed that CBC increases NSPC viability while promoting their maintenance rather than differentiation into astroglia.

This mechanism suggests CBC may support neurogenesis, the process by which new neurons are formed in the brain. The study found that CBC stimulated ERK1/2 phosphorylation and involved adenosine A1 receptor signaling, indicating sophisticated molecular pathways for brain health support. These findings have significant implications for neurodegenerative disease prevention and cognitive function maintenance.

Cancer

Like CBD, CBC may be a valuable therapy for alleviating the effects of cancer. In animal studies, the various cannabinoids were isolated to see the effects on inflammation and carcinogenesis, or the formation of cancer. CBC was found to interact with natural endocannabinoids to inhibit tumor growth.

According to the 2024 Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics review, CBC’s anti-inflammatory properties may contribute to its potential anti-cancer effects, though more research is needed to establish definitive therapeutic protocols.

Pain Relief and Anti-Inflammatory Effects

CBD and CBC are the two non-psychoactive cannabinoids known to modulate pain perception, which could prove valuable in treating chronic pain. In animal studies, CBD and CBC were used together to stimulate the body’s response to painful stimuli and produce a pain-relieving effect.

The 2024 review confirms CBC’s antinociceptive (pain-relieving) effects, noting that CBC acts on inflammation in a different way than conventional pain medications. Essentially, these cannabinoids blocked the pain response and activated the body to produce pain-relieving effects, showing that they may be useful as therapy for chronic pain conditions.

Neurodegenerative Disease

Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s are progressive and devastating. Research has been done into the benefits of cannabis, and particularly THC, for its neuroprotective properties as a potential therapy for neurodegenerative conditions.

Other non-psychoactive compounds may have clinical potential, including CBC. In studies, CBC was found to have a positive effect on the neural stem progenitor cells, which are an essential component of cognitive health. One of the cells that neural stem progenitor cells transition into is astroglial cells, which are important for homeostasis in the brain and defending against oxidative stress that can lead to neurological conditions.

Based on the 2013 neurogenesis study, CBC may be beneficial for improving the viability of these cells to prevent neurological disease. The research showed CBC’s ability to maintain neural stem cell populations while preventing their premature differentiation, suggesting potential for neurodegenerative disease prevention and treatment.

Antibacterial Properties

While new research is needed, a lot of studies were conducted in the 1980s to determine the antibacterial potential of CBC. In a study by Turner and Elsohly, CBC was shown to have powerful antibacterial properties in fighting both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria like E. coli and staph.

A more recent study in Europe shows that CBC and other cannabinoids can be effective against MRSA. This is on par with current antibiotics, but CBC is likely to produce fewer side effects than a strong antibiotic could. The 2024 review confirms CBC’s antibacterial properties as one of its established therapeutic benefits.

Dry Skin and Acne

The effects of CBD for dry skin and acne-prone skin have been researched with positive results, leading researchers to test the efficacy of CBC and other cannabinoids. The results showed that CBG and CBGV have potential for treating dry skin, while CBC and THCV show potential as anti-acne agents. In addition, all cannabinoids could be effective at addressing skin problems due to their anti-inflammatory effects.

Depression and Mood Disorders

Cannabis can be effective at lifting the mood and alleviating the feelings of depression, particularly because of the euphoric effects of THC. Depression can be a side effect of high levels of THC, however, so researchers considered the antidepressant potential of other cannabinoids on animal subjects. Both CBC and CBD produce significant anti-depressant effects, and CBC combined with THC has positive results.

The 2024 review notes that CBC’s mood-altering properties, combined with its lack of psychoactive effects, make it a promising candidate for mood disorder treatment without the side effects associated with THC.

Seizure Disorders

According to the 2024 Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics review, CBC demonstrates anticonvulsant properties, suggesting potential applications for seizure disorders. While more research is needed, these preliminary findings indicate CBC may offer therapeutic benefits for epilepsy and other seizure-related conditions.

Is CBC Legal?

Like many other compounds in cannabis, the legality of CBC is a bit murky.

CBC is a compound of Cannabis. CBC can be derived from hemp with a lower concentration of THC than 0.3 percent, which puts it in a sort of legal loophole.

Furthermore, CBC is non-psychoactive like CBD, so it’s more tolerated. The law is clear on the cutoff, however. Cannabis with 0.3 percent THC or higher is classified as a controlled substance and illegal on the federal level, while hemp is protected by the Agriculture and Nutrition Act of 2018 and legal on the federal level.

At OilWell CBD, all of our cannabinoid products are naturally produced, hemp-derived, and compliant.
