The article was created to provide information related to the pharmacological effects of kratom, kratom compound analysis, and the potential of compounds from kratom to become new durgs. The method used in this research is to review and analyze kratom articles from research papers, bibliographic reviews, and case reports included, research conducted in Indonesia and in English. The main purpose of the review is not only to understand the chemical content, benefits of kratom, and analytical methodologies for analysis, but also the use of kratom secoundary metabolites as therapeutic durgs and the side effects caused by kratom, to help health professionals assess the content of coumpounds from kratom worthy of being new durgs.
