Abstract
⺠Kratom/Ketum is a plant preparation with the psychoactive compound mitragynine. ⺠Kratom is used in Southeast Asia but currently spreading world wide. ⺠Mechanisms of action involve opioid receptors and monoaminergic systems. ⺠There are potential medical applications for mitragynine analogues. ⺠There is evidence for an addiction potential of Kratom and mitragynine.
