Methyl ester and aromatic ether modification of mitragynine for generation of mitragynine-specific polyclonal antibodies
Mitragynine is an alkaloid from Mitragyna speciosa Korth. (kratom), a native tropical plant in Southeast Asia. It could render psychotropic effects and is often misused in substitution for commercial drugs. In recent years, the consumption of kratom has grown rapidly and has led some countries to ba...

Mitragynine is an alkaloid from Mitragyna speciosa Korth. (kratom), a native tropical plant in Southeast Asia. It could render psychotropic effects and is often misused in substitution for commercial drugs. In recent years, the consumption of kratom has grown rapidly and has led some countries to ban its use. The misuse of kratom can be detected and monitored through the determination of mitragynine from biological samples of the users. Therefore, the development of a rapid and effective detection method is needed.
