Potential Herb-Drug Interactions of Kratom and Substitute Species
Manwill’s preliminary studies of kratom products in the US found three chemotypes, including alkaloid profiles different from any reported in literature. Manwill will use analytical chemistry techniques, enzymatic herb-drug interactions assays, and multivariate statistics to identify distinct chemical profiles and link them to specific metabolism modulating actions. Research will increase understanding of the diverse pharmacological potential of kratom products and may contribute to their safe use by consumers.
The Anne S. Chatham Fellowship in Medicinal Botany
To protect, preserve, and expand knowledge about the medicinal use of plants, thus preventing the disappearance of plants with therapeutic potential. Providing this research opportunity for botanists can, in turn, assist medical science to develop therapies that improve the quality of life of patients and develop life-saving medicines.
