Desmethoxyyangoninor5,6-dehydrokavainis one of the six mainkavalactonesfound in thePiper methysticum(kava) plant.

Pharmacology[edit]

Desmethoxyyangonin is a reversibleinhibitorofmonoamine oxidase B(MAO-B).^[1]Kava is able to increasedopaminelevels in thenucleus accumbens^[2]and desmethoxyyangonin likely contributes to this effect. This, along with several other catecholamines, may be responsible for the purported attention-promoting effects of kava.

Unlike the other major kavalactones, desmethoxyyangonin does not appear to act as aGABA_Areceptor positive allosteric modulator.^[3]

Desmethoxyyangonin has marked activity on the induction ofCYP3A23.^[4]
