Mitragynine is an indole alkaloid from the plant <em>M. speciosa</em>. It has stimulatory, antinociceptive, and opiate-<wbr></wbr>like effects, acting through noradrenergic, serotonergic, and opioid receptors. Mitragynine has a higher affinity for the μ-<wbr></wbr>opioid receptor than the δ-<wbr></wbr> or κ-<wbr></wbr>opioid receptors (pK<sub>i</sub> = 8.14, 7.22, and 5.96, respectively). Mitragynine and its derivatives have been identified in products sold as incense. The identification and quantification of mitragynine and related alkaloids, as well as their phase I and II metabolites, have been described. This product is intended for forensic applications.
