Abstract:
Kratom (korth) is recognized increasingly as a remedy for opioid withdrawal by individuals who self-treat chronic pain and/or generalized substance abuse. For example, opioid withdrawal from an abrupt cessation of opiate abuse may be self-managed by using Kratom. Further, high-throughput molecular screening identified that a major component of Kratom (i.e., for example, mitragyinine) displayed high binding affinity at mu, delta and kappa opiate receptors. The present invention contemplates that Kratom extract may also be useful for the treatment of other addictive drugs besides opiate derivatives.
