7-Hydroxymitragynine (mitragynine hydroxyindolenine), an indole, is an active alkaloid in the plant Mitragyna speciosa, commonly known as Kratom. It has opioid agonistic activity.[2] "The potency, calculated using pD (2) values, was 30- and 17-fold higher than that of mitragynine and morphine, respectively. Antagonism of naloxone on concentration-response curves for 7-hydroxymitragynine confirmed its opioid effect. These results suggest that the opioid effect of M. speciosa is mostly based on the activity of 7-hydroxymitragynine."[3]
7-Hydroxymitragynine is orally active in animals as an analgesic,[4] and produces normal opioid side effects including constipation, though significantly less than morphine,[5] development of tolerance and withdrawal syndrome upon abstinence.[4] The O-acetyl ester (Acetoxy), 7-acetoxymitragynine has also been reported and found to be an active μ-opioid agonist.[6]
