G Protein-biased kratom-alkaloids as potential treatments
Mitragyna speciosa, more commonly known as kratom, is a plant that contains opioidergic alkaloids but is unregulated in most countries. G protein-biased kratom-alkaloids and synthetic carfentanil-amide opioids as potential treatments for alcohol use disorder
What is kratom? The science behind Mitragyna’s strange leaves
Long used as a painkiller overseas, the plant has gained in popularity among American opioid addicts trying to get clean. Meanwhile, researchers are making headway as U.S. regulators consider cracking down.
The Antidepressant-Like and Analgesic Effects of Kratom
Kratom employed as a traditional medicine to improve mood and relieve pain, has shown increased use in Europe and North America. Here, the dose-dependent effects of a purified alkaloid kratom extract on neuronal oscillatory systems function, analgesia, and antidepressant-like behaviour were evaluated and kratom-induced changes in ΔFosB expression determined
Kratom-Pharmacology, Clinical Implications and Deep Review
The prevalence of kratom use appears to be increasing in Europe and North America, raising concerns for its possible development into a significant public health threat. The body of scientific literature concerning kratom is expanding.
Is Kratom an Opiate? Kratom Alkaloids and Effects
Description of the alkaloids found in Mitragyna speciosa (kratom), their effects, and the variation between strains. The highest mitragynine content is present in leaves from frequently harvested trees
