Trigonelline
Trigonelline is an alkaloid with chemical formula C7H7NO2. It is a zwitterion formed by the methylation of the nitrogen atom of niacin. Trigonelline is a product of niacin metabolism that is excreted in urine. Trigonelline occurs in many plants. It has been isolated from fenugreek seeds, garden peas, hemp seed, oats, potatoes, Stachys species, dahlia, Strophanthus species and Dichapetalum cymosum. Holtz, Kutscher and Theilmann have recorded its presence in a number of animals. Trigonelline is also found in coffee, where it may help to prevent dental caries by preventing the bacteria Streptococcus mutans from adhering to teeth. Higher levels of trigonelline is found in robusta coffee. Trigonelline crystallizes as a monohydrate from alcohol in hygroscopic prisms. It is readily soluble in water or warm alcohol, less so in cold alcohol, and slightly so in chloroform or ether. The salts crystallize well, the monohydrochloride, in leaflets, sparingly soluble in dry alcohol. The picrate forms shining prisms soluble in water but sparingly soluble in dry alcohol or ether. The alkaloid forms several aurichlorides: the normal salt, B•HCl•AuCl3, is precipitated when excess of gold chloride is added to the hydrochloride, and after crystallization from dilute hydrochloric acid containing some gold chloride, has m.p. 198 °C. Crystallized from water or very dilute hydrochloric acid, slender needles of B4•3 HAuCl4 are obtained.
