Anxiolytic-like effects of mitragynine in the open-field and elevated plus-maze tests in rats (2014)

What they were answering

It would be extremely difficult to synthesize. I'm actually surprised nobody really offers (pure, ≥98%) mitragynine obtained via extraction.

The reason why I'm surprised there isn't a vendor offering it: Kratom literally grows on trees. A simple acid-base extraction would work. I've seen estimates of .05 to 1.5 % of mitragynine by leaf weight, which isn't bad.

There are extracts out there. The issue I have with them is that people report tolerance buildup happening super fast with the extracts. This makes sense. Just look at the opioid affinities of mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine. There are NMDA receptor antagonists in the plant that balances out the tolerance buildup, as well as a bunch of other substances that could alter the effects. I really want to spend some more time exploring them all. I think the plant could have massive uses.

Replying to silverlinin · Does this affect other countries from importing as well? Like Australia? So this means people won't be able to buy it without a prescription?

If the US puts kratom in schedule 1, most of the world is going to follow suit. This is due to United Nations guidelines that we force everyone to adhere to. This action is going to be very bad for everyone, not just the
