Δ-11-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-11-THC, Exo-THC, Δ11-THC, Δ9(11)-THC, exo-Tetrahydrocannabinol) is a rare isomer of tetrahydrocannabinol9-THC), 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 reduce" the effects of Δ9-THC and has been suggested to act as a CB1 receptor antagonist in humans, with the cited study showing "one partial success in the quest for an antagonist is the fact that D9,11-THC was found to significantly reduce the effect of D9-THC"[4][5] and did not substitute for Δ9-THC in rhesus monkeys.[6][7] It has been identified as a component of grey market vaping liquids sold for use in humans.[8] Δ11-THC has been identified as an impurity found in pharmaceutical dronabinol.[9][10]
