4′-Hydroxy-7,8-dihydro Kavain (Cat No.:C000682) is a derivative of kavain, a natural compound found in the kava plant known for its potential anxiolytic and sedative effects. This modification involves the addition of a hydroxyl group at the 4′ position and a reduction of the double bond at positions 7 and 8. Research on 4′-Hydroxy-7,8-dihydro Kavain may focus on its altered pharmacological activities, interactions with neurotransmitter receptors, and potential benefits in managing anxiety-related conditions.
