Abstract

An aqueous decoction of Piper methysticum has been used since centuries of Pacific Island at social religious-ceremonial and social events without hepatotoxic side effects in contrast to the speculation on industrial Kava preparations. It was assumed that the traditional nonalcoholic drink contains a spectrum of other constituents compared to the acetonic and ethanolic extracts. The TLC-analysis demonstrates, however, that under qualitative aspects there is no difference between aqueous and acetonic and ethanolic extracts respectively.
