Common NameTrigonelline
DescriptionTrigonelline, 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 exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Trigonelline is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as arabica coffees (Coffea arabica), fenugreeks (Trigonella foenum-graecum), and grape wine and in a lower concentration in barleys (Hordeum vulgare), orange bell peppers (Capsicum annuum), and garden tomato (var.). Trigonelline has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as eggplants (Solanum melongena), oats (Avena sativa), chickpeas (Cicer arietinum), spelts (Triticum spelta), and soy beans (Glycine max). This could make trigonelline a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Trigonelline is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Trigonelline.
