Common Name | Trigonelline |

Description | Trigonelline, also known as caffearin or gynesine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkaloids and derivatives. These are naturally occurring chemical compounds that contain mostly basic nitrogen atoms. This group also includes some related compounds with neutral and even weakly acidic properties. Also some synthetic compounds of similar structure are attributed to alkaloids. In addition to carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, alkaloids may also contain oxygen, sulfur and more rarely other elements such as chlorine, bromine, and phosphorus. Trigonelline is a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Trigonelline exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, Trigonelline is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as arabica coffee, fenugreeks, and grape wines and in a lower concentration in yellow bell peppers, beers, and garden tomato (var.). Trigonelline has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as potato, green beans, common buckwheats, tartary buckwheats, and quinoa. This could make trigonelline a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. An iminium betaine that is the conjugate base of N-methylnicotinic acid, arising from deprotonation of the carboxy group. |
