Looking through my notebook I think that is the all the full, complete papers I have. It is interesting that some of the research focuses on the flavokawains but Dr. Xing (was University of Minnesota, now University of Florida) seems convinced methysticin is involved. 2 more points-
1- the PubMed "paper" Planta Med 2013 79-P97 was actually the Abstract of a Talk that Dr. Xing did at 12th Annual Oxford Int'l. Conference on the Science of Botanicals. So, there is no complete paper. Just a page long Abstract.
2- One more I did not list regarding Cancer Prevention-- Lung Tumorigenesis Suppressing Effects of a Commercial Kava Extract and Its Selected Compounds in A/J Mice. American Journal of Chinese Medicine Vol. 39, Issue 04, 2011.

Hmm, wonder how it ended up in the "American Journal of Chinese Medicine"

Thanks for the help Alia, going to update the site now.

One paper I read found less effect when using isolated flavokavains, than when using whole kava prepared traditionally. DHM was implicated. I've heard methysticin involved as well.
