Chemical Information
NameTrigonelline
DescriptionTrigonelline is an alkaloid found in coffee and fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) and other legumes. Trigonelline is a product of the metabolism of niacin (vitamin B3) which is excreted in the urine. Trigonelline in the urine has been proposed as a biomarker for the consumption of coffee.

Chemical Taxonomy
Description 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.
