7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) is a terpenoid indole alkaloid from the plant Mitragyna speciosa, commonly known as kratom. [2] It was first described in 1994 [3] and is a human metabolite metabolized from mitragyna speciosa present in the kratom leaf. 7-OH binds to opioid receptors like mitragynine, but research suggests that 7-OH binds with greater efficacy.

This activity might explain why kratom can be dangerous when used in combination with other sedatives. [9] Kratom also contains rhynchophylline, a non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist. [11] [67] Mitragynine is metabolized in humans via phase I and phase II mechanisms with the resulting metabolites excreted in urine. [11]
Mitragynine toxicity in humans is rarely reported although specific examples of seizures and liver toxicity in kratom consumers have been reported. [ 33 ] [ 31 ] Due to Cytochrome P450 enzyme inhibition, the combination of mitragynine with other drugs poses concern for adverse reactions to mitragynine.
