7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH-MIT) is a terpenoid indole alkaloid present in the plant Mitragyna speciosa, commonly known as kratom. It was first described in 1994. In humans, it is produced as an active metabolite of mitragynine via hepatic oxidation. 7-OH-MIT exhibits greater binding affinity to μ-opioid receptors (MOR) than mitragynine.
