7-Acetoxymitragynine is anopioid drug which is a semi-synthetic derivative of7-hydroxymitragynine, anatural product derived from the South-East Asian treekratom. It can be derived by acetylation of the hydroxyl group of 7-hydroxymitragynine, for instance withacetic anhydride, but can also be produced directly frommitragynine by reaction withLead(IV) acetate, and is a common synthetic intermediate in the production of 7-hydroxymitragynine from crude kratom extracts. Unlike the higher potency seen with acetyl esters of some other opioids such asmorphine, 7-acetoxymitragynine is less potent than 7-hydroxymitragynine, but nevertheless retains opioid activity and has been sold as adesigner drug since around 2006.[1][2][3][4][5]
