Recent in vivo metabolic studies of cannabinol (CBN), a major component of Cannabis sativa, have shown that CBN has a complex metabolic pattern. Monohydroxylation at the C-7 position as well as at each of the carbons of the pentyl side chain (Burstein & Varanelli 1975; Wall, Brine & Perez-Reyes, 1976; Yisak, Widman & others, 1977), dihydroxylation (Burstein & Varanelli 1975, Yisak & others 1977), oxidation to aldehyde (Yisak & others, 1977), acids and hydroxy acids (Burstein & Varanelli, 1975; Wall & others, 1976; Yisak & others, 1977) and conjugation with 8-glucuronic acid (Harvey, Martin & Paton, 1977) have been reported. Furthermore CBN and CBN derivatives have also been isolated (Ben-Zvi, Bergen & Burstein, 1974; Widman, Nordqvist & others, 1974; McCallum, Yagen & others, 1975; Ben-Zvi, Bergen & others, 1976) as metabolites of A'-tetrahydrocannabinol (A1-THC). Recently, Leighty, Fentiman & Foltz (1976) reported long retained novel fatty acid conjugates of 7-hydroxyA1and 7-hydroxy-A6-THC in the rat. We now wish to report the isolation and characterization of fatty acid conjugates of 4"-hydroxy-, 5"-hydroxyand 7-hydroxyCBN as in vivo metabolites of CBN isolated from rat faeces. 14C-CBN with a radiochemical purity greater than 97 % according to thin-layer chromatography (t.1.c.) and gas chromatography (g.c.) and a specific activity of 8.0 pCi mmol-l was administered (100 mg kg-I) via the tail vein in 70% aqueous ethanol to 12 Sprague-Dawley rats (200-250 g). Urine and faeces were collected for six days and assayed for radioactivity as described earlier (Yisak & others, 1977). The lyophilized and finely ground faeces was extracted with light petroleum (b.p. 40-60") (1000 ml) using a soxhlet extractor. The extract, which accounted for 19 % of the radioactivity in the faeces, was chromatographed on a Florisil column(l60 g; 1.5 x 115 cm) and eluted with ether-light petroleum (1 :9). The eluate afforded two radioactive fractions on the Sephadex LH-20 column (1 x 70 cm) eluted with light petroleum-chloroform (1 : 1). The fraction with the elution volume (Ve) of 30-50 ml contained metabolites less polar than CBN on t.l.c., while the fraction with the Ve of 125-160 ml afforded unchanged CBN. Purification of the metabolite fraction (Ve 30-50 ml) by t.1.c. (Yisak & others, 1977) using ether-light petroleum (1 : 9) as the solvent system yielded two radioactive bands. Gas chromatography at 300" on a Varian 2100 (1.06 m x 2 mm i.d. glass column, 3 % SE-30 on 100-120 mesh Gas-Chrom Q of the trimethyl silylated metabolites from each band showed band 1 to contain two metabol-
