pharmacological action
Nervous system effects
(1) Anti-anxiety effect: Kavalactone can improve the attention, memory and reaction of patients with anxiety disorders, so that the patient is in a relaxed state, but its effect is slow.

The mechanism of action is similar to lidocaine, acting by blocking potential-dependent sodium channels.
2. Antifungal effect Kavapyrone has no inhibitory effect on the growth of Gram-positive or negative bacteria, and some kavapyrones have significant inhibitory effect on many fungi, including some human pathogens.
