Don’t toss cannabis leaves: Scientists found rare compounds with medical potential
Scientists at Stellenbosch University (SU) have uncovered the first evidence of a rare group of phenolic compounds known as flavoalkaloids in Cannabis leaves, adding a surprising new dimension to the plant's chemistry. In their study, researchers analyzed three commercially grown Cannabis strains from South Africa and identified 79 phenolic compounds. André de Villiers, who led the study and heads the analytical chemistry research group at SU, said the results were striking.
