Description:Stability Light and Moisture SensitiveApplications rac-Kavain is the main kavalactone found in the roots of the kava plant. Kavain is known to exhibit anticonvulsive properties by attenuating vascular smooth muscle contraction through interactions with voltage-dependent sodium and calcium channels. rac-Kavain was shown in recent research to exhibit protective properties on anaerobic glycolysis, ATP content and intracellular calcium and sodium of anoxic brain vesicles.References Gleitz, J., et al: Neuropharmacol., 35, 1743 (1997); Hashimoto, T., et al.: Phytomedicine, 10, 309 (2003); Mulholland, P.J., et al.: Brain.
