CBGAM: reported identity research

This research-index record shows how CBGAM has been described in cited chemical-identity research. It is a source map, not an independent chemistry verification and not a page about health effects.

Publication status

Research index published; compound identity not independently verified

A human approved publication of this source-linked record on July 24, 2026. That editorial decision allows the cited identity report and its locator to be indexed. It does not verify the chemical identity, approve a health claim, establish safety, or convert AI-assisted extraction into a scientific conclusion.

Published

Reported in research

The page names the source, evidence role, and precise location used by the candidate registry.

Ongoing

Identity review

The compound remains in the registry-gated lane until a distinct human identity-verification decision is recorded.

Not assessed here

Effects and safety

This identity record does not make a clinical, therapeutic, dosing, product, or personal-safety claim.

What the registry records

Source-linked identity summary

Our candidate registry summarizes the cited identity record this way: Cannabigerolic acid monomethyl ether was isolated from fresh hemp and later reisolated from high-potency Cannabis, where full NMR assignments established the same compound as 5-prime-methoxycannabigerolic acid.

This wording is deliberately limited to identity and occurrence. “Reported,” “isolated,” “detected,” or “characterized” describes what the cited paper says it did; those words do not mean Cannabinoid Encyclopedia independently repeated the laboratory work. The original source and locator below are the controlling evidence trail.

Candidate identity snapshot

Names and classification recorded for CBGAM

FieldCandidate registry value
Reported namecannabigerolic acid monomethyl ether
Molecular formulaC23H34O4
Registry familyCannabigerol Type
Reported occurrenceIsolated From Cannabis
Registry subtypePhytocannabinoid Acid
Recorded aliasescannabigerolic acid monomethyl ether, 5'-methoxycannabigerolic acid, 5'-methoxy-CBGA, CBGA monomethyl ether

These fields help readers find the cited record and distinguish similarly named compounds. They remain candidate metadata while identity review is ongoing. A molecular formula or familiar abbreviation alone is not proof that two records describe the same material, stereochemistry, preparation, or natural occurrence.

Identity evidence trail

2 identity records from 2 peer-reviewed sources

Each entry states why a source was connected to this candidate and where its support should be checked. Readers should inspect the cited paper when exact analytical methods, spectra, comparison standards, stereochemistry, or sample provenance matter.

Identity record 1

Isolation And Structure Elucidation

Cannabis. V. Cannabigerolic Acid Monomethyl Ether and Cannabinolic Acid

Shoyama Y, Yamauchi T, Nishioka I / 1970-07-25

Support locator: Abstract and pp. 1328-1329, section 'Cannabigerolic Acid Monomethyl Ether (CBGAM)': column-chromatographic isolation of pure CBGAM from fresh domestic hemp and conclusion that the parent acid, rather than only its decarboxylated ether, was a genuine plant constituent.

Extraction: Ai Assisted; publication approved as a research-index record, not identity verification.

Candidate evidence was verified against the rendered primary-source scan; historical numbering remains a human-review item and no approval was applied.

Identity record 2

Isolation And Structure Elucidation

Isolation and Characterization of New Cannabis Constituents from a High Potency Variety

Radwan MM, Ross SA, Slade D, Ahmed SA, Zulfiqar F, ElSohly MA / 2008-02-18

Support locator: Abstract; Materials and Methods isolation paragraphs; Results and Discussion for compound 6; and the Isolates entry for 5-prime-methoxycannabigerolic acid: reisolation from authenticated high-potency Cannabis, C23H34O4 formula, full NMR data, and HMBC placement of the methoxy group.

Extraction: Ai Assisted; publication approved as a research-index record, not identity verification.

Candidate evidence was checked against the primary article's full text; the alias mapping remains human-review work and no approval was applied.

Candidate identifiers

External identifiers are recorded with limits

SystemValueSource note
PubChem CID24739091PubChem compound record named cannabigerolic acid monomethyl ether with the matching C23H34O4 formula; supports chemical identity, not occurrence or pharmacology.

An identifier can help locate a database record. It does not by itself establish that a compound was naturally present in a sample, that a published structure assignment is final, or that a commercial product contains the reported compound.

Mandatory editorial note

What must stay attached to this record

5-prime-methoxycannabigerolic acid is an alias for CBGAM, not a separate candidate. The 1970 paper places the methoxy group on one phenolic oxygen using its historical numbering, while the 2008 paper reports the modern 5-prime assignment by HMBC; a human chemistry reviewer must confirm that nomenclature mapping.

The source extraction was prepared for human review and the page publication was approved as a research-index record. A later identity decision may verify, revise, merge, exclude, or supersede this candidate. Corrections should preserve the prior evidence trail rather than silently overwriting it.

What this page cannot answer

Identity research is not an effects guide

  • This page does not establish that CBGAM has a health benefit or treats a condition.
  • It does not establish human safety, intoxication risk, interactions, dosing, or suitability for any person.
  • It does not verify a retail product, label, certificate of analysis, extract, or formulation.
  • It does not transfer findings from THC, CBD, another cannabinoid, an animal model, or a laboratory assay to this candidate.
  • It does not replace the original analytical paper or a qualified chemical review of that paper.

Corrections and review

Help us improve the source trail

If a structure assignment has been corrected, a source has been retracted, an identifier is mismatched, or a stronger identity record exists, send the DOI or PMID and a precise locator. The editorial team can review the evidence and preserve the decision history.
