Delta-11-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-11-THC, Δ11-THC, Δ9(11)-THC, exo-Tetrahydrocannabinol) is a rare isomer of tetrahydrocannabinol, developed in the 1970s. It can be synthesised from Δ8-THC by several different routes,[1][2][3] though only the (6aR, 10aR) enantiomer is known. In recent studies in 2022 it was found to "significantly increase" the effects of Δ9-THC and has been suggested an agonist of the CB1 receptor in humans, with the cited study showing "Is the fact that D9,11-THC was found to significantly increase the effect of D9-THC."[4][5] and did not substitute for THC in rhesus monkeys. [6][7] It has been identified as a component of grey market "vaping liquids" sold for use in humans.[8]
