4′-Hydroxy rac-Kavain (Cat No.:C000684) is a compound derived from kavain, a natural component of kava root used for its psychoactive and anxiolytic properties. The addition of a hydroxyl group at the 4′ position suggests potential modifications to Kavain’s effects. Kava is traditionally consumed as a beverage in some cultures for its calming effects. Research involving 4′-Hydroxy rac-Kavain may explore its pharmacological activities, interactions with neurotransmitter receptors, and potential improvements in managing anxiety-related conditions.
