General description

Mitragynine, commonly known as Kratom, is the most abundant alkaloid in the plant Mitragynine speciosa. Sold over the internet as herbal plant extracts, Kratom is noted for its psychoactive, stimulant, and sedative effects depending on the dosage level. According to DEA′s Drugs and Chemicals of Concern page, mitragynine use can lead to addiction with adverse effects ranging from anorexia and weight loss to hallucinations and delusion.

Application



  • Pharmacokinetic Interaction of Kratom and Cannabidiol: A study analyzed the pharmacokinetic interactions between mitragynine and cannabidiol in male rats, providing critical insights for co-administration of these compounds (Berthold et al., 2024).


  • Enhancement of Low-Dose Doxorubicin Cytotoxicity by Kratom Extracts: Research investigated whether kratom extracts enhance the cytotoxic effects of low-dose doxorubicin against lung cancer cells, suggesting a potential use of mitragynine in cancer therapy (Bayu et al., 2024).


  • Extraction and Detection of Mitragynine: A technique using high-performance liquid chromatography for the extraction and detection of mitragynine from Kratom leaves was developed, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of mitragynine isolation for research purposes (Ng and Ha, 2024).


  • Amelioration of Mitragynine Withdrawal Symptoms: A study explored the potential of an epigenetic mechanism to ameliorate withdrawal behavior and cognitive impairments caused by mitragynine, contributing to better management strategies for opioid withdrawal symptoms (Yunusa et al., 2024).


  • Imaging Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Mitragynine: Research utilized MALDI imaging mass spectrometry to study the distribution of Mitragyna speciosa alkaloids, including mitragynine, in dosed rat brain tissue, advancing the understanding of its biochemical behavior (Liang et al., 2024).

Mitragyna speciosa (Kratom) is currently used as a drug of abuse. When monitoring its abuse in urine, several alkaloids and their metabolites must be considered. In former studies, mitragynine (MG), its diastereomer speciogynine (SG), and paynantheine and their metabolites could

O-Trimethylsilyl (TMS)-protected diphenylprolinol-catalyzed Michael addition of a functionalized alkylidene malonate and n-butanal affords an aldehyde. This adduct can serve as the common intermediate for the assembly of secologanin tryptamine and dopamine alkaloids; this is demonstrated by the total syntheses of
