Exploring the Chemistry of Alkaloids from Malaysian Mitragyna speciosa (Kratom) and the Role of Oxindoles on Human Opioid Receptors

Nelson Jeng-Yeou Chear et al.

Summary: This study isolated and characterized ten indole and oxindole alkaloids from Malaysian Kratom leaves, and assessed their binding affinity at opioid receptors. Certain oxindole alkaloids showed high binding affinity and greater analgesic efficacy than morphine in rats, indicating their potential therapeutic activity.

Activity of Mitragyna speciosa (Kratom) Alkaloids at Serotonin Receptors

Francisco Leon et al.

Summary: Research showed that kratom alkaloids have effects on serotonin receptors in vitro and in vivo, with paynantheine and speciogynine exhibiting high affinity for 5-HT(1A)Rs and 5-HT(2B)Rs. These alkaloids can produce antinociceptive properties through a mechanism independent of opioid receptors.
