H4-CBD
H4CBD (Hydrogenated CBD, Tetrahydrocannibidiol), is a cannabinoid that was first synthesized by the Todd group in 1940 derived from the catalytic hydrogenation of cannabidiol.[1]

It's important to note that H4CBD, and H2-CBD and 8,9-Dihydrocannabidiol have also been referred to as "Hydrogenated CBD" which may cause confusion.
Pharmacology
In 2006, it was discovered that H4CBD has a binding affinity of 145nM at the CB1 receptor and potential anti-inflammatory effects independent of its cannabinoid receptor action.[2] In contrast, CBD has been found to bind to the CB1 receptor as an inverse agonist/antagonist with a Ki ranging from 3.3 to 4.8 nM[3]
Elucidation
In 2023 H4CBD epimers were elucidated using NOESY, COSY, NMR spectroscopic techniques, while the inclusion of LC-MS and SCFC were used to isolate individual diasteromers[4].
