CONSTITUENTS OF CANNABIS SATIVA L. XXVIII A REVIEW OF THE NATURAL CONSTITUENTS: 1980-1994
Open accessAbstract
Over 11,000 scientific papers have been published on cannabis and its constituents. The purpose of the present review is to update the number of known natural constituents of the Cannabis plant to reach 483 compounds. Emphasis will be placed on those compounds actually isolated or identified from 1980 until 1994.

Other specialized metabolites including alkaloids, flavonoids, and stilbenes also contribute to the Cannabis pharmacological profile but remain less studied.
“While cannabinoids, such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), dominate the current understanding of Cannabis bioactivity, other specialized metabolites—including alkaloids, flavonoids, and stilbenes—also contribute to its pharmacological profile but remain less studied [2,9,10].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
