Clinical Assessment of the Drug Interaction Potential of the Psychotropic Natural Product Kratom

Rakshit S. Tanna et al.

Summary: Oral formulations of kratom are increasingly used for opioid withdrawal and pain. Calls to poison centers involving kratom exposures have increased significantly, raising concerns for potential adverse interactions with drugs metabolized by CYP3A. This study evaluated the pharmacokinetic interactions of kratom with CYP3A and CYP2D6 probes, finding a modest increase in midazolam levels and no effect on dextromethorphan levels after kratom administration. This research provides important insights into the safe use of kratom and its potential interactions with certain drugs.

The Lack of Contribution of 7-Hydroxymitragynine to the Antinociceptive Effects of Mitragynine in Mice: A Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic StudyS

Erin C. Berthold et al.

Summary: In this study, the analgesic effects, pharmacokinetics, and tissue distribution of Mitragynine (MTG) and its active metabolite 7hydroxymitragynine (7HMG) in mice were investigated. Results showed that 7HMG was more potent in producing analgesic effects compared to MTG, but as a metabolite of MTG, its brain concentration was significantly lower. Therefore, 7HMG has a negligible role in the analgesic effects of MTG.

Clinical Pharmacology of the Dietary Supplement Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa)

Chad Hartley et al.

Summary: Kratom is a plant containing over 40 alkaloids, with the main psychoactive compounds being mitragynine and 7-OH-mitragynine. Its effects include analgesia, mild euphoria, and modulation of various receptor pathways. However, Kratom is also associated with risks like physical and psychological dependence, liver toxicity, and other adverse effects.

Mitragynine improves cognitive performance in morphine-withdrawn rats

Chiek Yi You et al.

Summary: The study aimed to examine the cognitive effects of mitragynine substitution in morphine-withdrawn rats and investigate whether neuronal addiction markers such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II alpha (alpha CaMKII) might mediate the observed effects. Results showed that mitragynine substitution was able to alleviate morphine withdrawal signs and improve cognitive deficits, suggesting its potential as a safe medication therapy for opiate addiction.

Understanding Kratom Use: A Guide for Healthcare Providers

Marc T. Swogger et al.

Summary: Kratom, a plant native to Southeast Asia, has been used for centuries as a mild stimulant and medicine. However, with its growing popularity in the West, concerns about its safety have been raised by US federal agencies, leading to criminalization in some states and cities. The lack of clinical trials on kratom has resulted in confusion among healthcare providers. Despite this, there is a growing body of peer-reviewed literature that can inform healthcare providers on how to discuss kratom use with consumers, while recognizing that it has not been approved as safe and effective for any disease. One important knowledge gap is the safety of combining kratom with other substances and medications. Therefore, this comprehensive overview aims to provide clarity for healthcare providers and patients.

Combinations of indole based alkaloids from Mitragyna speciosa (Kratom) and cisplatin inhibit cell proliferation and migration of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines

Gregory Domnic et al.

Summary: The study found that the alkaloids from Mitragyna speciosa could potentially enhance the sensitivity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells to cisplatin, inhibiting cell migration and spheroid invasion. Further mechanistic and in vivo studies are needed to support the therapeutic applicability of these alkaloids for NPC treatment.

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.
