International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 23 (24) 15777. doi:10.3390/ijms232415777. PMC9779201. PMID36555419. S2CID254672601. Table 1. Biochemical structures, mechanisms, and receptor functions of twenty psychoceutical drugs: [...] Drug Name: Deu-mitragynine (Kratom) [...] Chemical Structure: *. Target Type: Opioid Receptor. Method of Action: Deu-mitragynine acts as a mu-opioid (MOR) agonist with the ability to interact with G-protein coupled receptors, resulting in its analgesic effects. Deu-mitragynine has been shown to exhibit opioid-receptor-dependent analgesic effects and G-protein-based agonists of MOR. Citations: Atai Life Sciences [28] Shukla et al. [29] [...] The drugs targeting opioid receptors, deu-mitragynine (a major alkaloid component of kratom [28]) and salvinorin A (a non-alkaloidal component of Salvia divinorum [30]), regulate pathways initiated by G-proteins, while also stimulating other mechanisms, such as the beta-arrestin and ERK/MAPK pathways. Kratom, a mu-opioid receptor (MOR) agonist with low potency, has been demonstrated to emit 'atypical' opioid effects (no respiratory depression, emesis, or shortness of breath in animal models) through G-protein agonistic activity and limited recruitment of beta-arrestin after opioid receptor-dependent activation [28,29]. Studies with rodent models alternatively suggest mitragynine and its derivatives do not directly activate opioid receptors [29], which brings into question how the drug initiates the activity of MORs to deliver analgesic effects.
