Kratom Alkaloids: Interactions With Enzymes, Receptors, and Cellular Barriers

Parallel to the growing use of kratom, there is a wealth of evidence from self-report, preclinical, and early clinical studies on therapeutic benefits of its alkaloids in particular for treating pain, managing substance use disorder, and coping with emotional or mental health conditions. On the othe...
