Prior exposure of cells in vitro to .DELTA.1-tetrahydrocannabinol-7-oic acid (.DELTA.1-THC-7-oic acid) reduced the degree of stimulation of prostaglandin synthesis incurred by subsequent treatment with .DELTA.1-THC. The site of action of this inhibitory effect seemed to be on cyclooxygenase and not at the earlier step involving the phospholipase-mediated release of arachidonic acid. .DELTA.1-THC-7-oic acid is a major metabolite of .DELTA.1-THC and has no psychoactivity in humans. Our findings raise the possibility, however, that it may influence the in vivo activities of .DELTA.1-THC by antagonizing its stimulatory action on cellular prostaglandin synthesis.
