Entourage Compounds
Entourage compounds refer to the secondary metabolites—terpenes, flavonoids, and lesser-known cannabinoids—that work alongside THC and CBD in cannabis plant material. Rather than cannabinoids acting in isolation, research into cannabis pharmacology has explored how these diverse chemical constituents may interact synergistically. This concept emerged from early cannabinoid research and has become a framework breeders and researchers use to categorize strains by their full chemical profile, not just potency. Understanding entourage compound profiles helps breeders develop lines with consistent aromatic and compositional signatures across generations.

Breeders working with entourage compound selection focus on preserving terpene-rich phenotypes and maintaining balanced minor cannabinoid expression (CBN, CBC, CBG) across crosses. This approach prioritizes genetic stability of the complete plant chemistry rather than single-compound yield alone.
