The general structure of the kavalactones, without the R1-R2 -O-CH2-O- bridge and with all possible C=C double bonds shown.

Kavalactones are a class of lactone compounds found in kava roots and Alpinia zerumbet (shell ginger).[1] Some kavalactones are bioactive.[2][3]

Transcription

Bioactivity

Kava extract interacts with many pharmaceuticals and herbal medications. In human volunteers in vivo inhibition includes CYP1A2,[4] and CYP2E1[5] through use of probe drugs to measure inhibition.

Research

Its anxiolytic and hepatotoxicity activities have been investigated.[6][7][8]

The major kavalactones (except for desmethoxyyangonin) potentiate GABAA receptors, which may underlie the anxiolytic and sedative properties of kava. Further, inhibition of the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine, binding to the CB1 receptor,[9] inhibition of voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels, and monoamine oxidase B reversible inhibition are additional pharmacological actions that have been reported for kavalactones.[10]

Kavalactone-type compounds may help protect against high glucose induced cell damage.[2]

Toxicity

Several kavalactones (e.g. methysticin and yangonin) affect a group of enzymes involved in metabolism, called CYP1A1. Hepatotoxicity occurred in a small portion of previously healthy kava users,[7][11] particularly from extracts, as opposed to whole root powders.

Compounds

At least 18 different kavalactones are known,[1] with methysticin being the first identified.[12] Multiple analogues, such as ethysticin, have also been isolated.[13] Some consist of a substituted α-pyrone as the lactone while others are partially saturated.

The average elimination half-life of kavalactones typically present in kava root is 9 hr.[14]
