7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) is a

opioid receptors like mitragynine, but research suggests that 7-OH binds with greater potency.[5]

Pharmacology

7-Hydroxymitragynine, like mitragynine, appears to be a mixed opioid receptor

β-arrestin pathway like traditional opioids, meaning symptoms such as respiratory depression, constipation and sedation are much less pronounced.[6]

7-OH is generated from mitragynine in vivo by hepatic metabolism and may account for a significant portion of the effects traditionally associated with mitragynine. Although 7-OH occurs naturally in kratom leaves, it does so in such low amounts that any ingested 7-OH is inconsequential compared to the 7-OH generated in the body.[6]

Metabolism

After a kratom study, it was revealed that 7-OH converts into mitragynine pseudoindoxyl.[8][9] Interestingly, this even more potent opioid was revealed to exist in a mixture of stereoisomers in biological systems.[9]
