    Product Description

    Mitragynine pseudoindoxyl (Item No. 20033) is an analytical reference standard categorized as an opioid.1,2 Mitragynine pseudoindoxyl has analgesic activity in mice without inducing the development of opioid-induced hyperalgesia.2 It induces physical dependence in mice but reduces signs of withdrawal in morphine-dependent mice administered naloxone. This product is intended for research and forensic applications. For more information, please see Cayman's application note: Chromatographic Separation of 7-Hydroxy Mitragynine from Mitragynine Pseudoindoxyl.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
