Mitragynine, a primary alkaloid found in kratom leaves has been reported to have a broad range of pharmacological and toxicological properties while its congener, paynatheine has comparatively less information available on these aspects. Mitragynine and its congener, paynantheine, were isolated from the ethanol kratom leaves extract using gravity column chromatography techniques. Our study evaluated the cytotoxicity potential of mitragynine and paynantheine on normal human liver cell line, HL-7702, and human hepatoma cell line, HepG2. Mitragynine exhibited a moderate inhibitory effect on the HepG2 cell line with IC value of 42.11 ± 1.31 μM in comparison with vinblastine (IC: 15.45 ± 0.72 μM) while it showed non-cytotoxic properties towards the HL-7702 cell line with concentrations ranging below 200 μM. In contrast, paynantheine exhibited weak cytotoxic properties towards HepG2 and HL-7702 cell lines. Further comprehensive evaluations of both compounds are needed to establish more details on the cytotoxicity potential of kratom alkaloids.

Recently in the USA, kratom consumers increasingly report use of the plant for self-treatment of mood ailments, the lack of energy, chronic pain, and opioid withdrawal and dependence. Several alkaloids are present in kratom leaves, but limited data are available on their pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, except for mitragynine. To support clinical studies, a high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay for the simultaneous quantification of 11 kratom alkaloids in human plasma was developed and validated.

Mitragynine is an "atypic opioid" analgesic with an alternative mechanism of action and a favorable side-effect profile. Our aim was to optimize the alkaloid extraction procedure from kratom leaves and to determine and isolate the most relevant compounds capable of penetrating the central nervous system. The PAMPA-BBB study revealed that mitragynine and its coalkaloids, speciociliatine, speciogynine, and paynantheine, possess excellent in vitro BBB permeability.

, also known as kratom, has been reported to have a broad range of pharmacological properties. Freshly harvested leaves and their water extracts are consumed in Southeast Asia while preparations made from dried leaf material are consumed in Western countries. Our study evaluated the phytochemical composition of freshly harvested kratom leaves using LCMS/MS analysis of water and ethanol liquid extracts.

Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a species of large tree that grows in Southeast Asia and is part of the Rubiaceae family. Its fresh leaves are harvested for their medicinal properties and used for their psychoactive effects. Kratom contains many biologically active alkaloids, including mitragynine and 7-OH-mitragynine, which are considered the two most important psychoactive components and constitute approximately 66% and 2% of the total alkaloid content.
