Chemical Information
FooDB NameN-trans-Caffeoyltyramine
DescriptionN-trans-Caffeoyltyramine also known as trans-N-Caffeoyltyramine or TNC, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxycinnamic acids and derivatives. Hydroxycinnamic acids and derivatives are compounds containing a cinnamic acid (or a derivative thereof) where the benzene ring is hydroxylated. N-trans-Caffeoyltyramine is also classified as a phenylpropanoid amide. Phenylpropanoids consist of a six-carbon, aromatic phenyl group and a three-carbon propene tail of coumaric acid, which is the central intermediate in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis. A phenylpropanoid amide has an amide group incorporated into its propanoid chain. There are two known isomers of N-Caffeoyltyramine, N-trans-Caffeoyltyramine and N-cis-Caffeoyltyramine. N-trans-Caffeoyltyramine is a largely neutral molecule that is somewhat insoluble in water. N-trans-caffeoyltyramine is one of the major phenylpropanoid amides that have been identified in the cannabis plant (PMID:6991645 ) N-trans-Caffeoyltyramine has also been found in the plant Tribulus terrestris (also known as Bindi or puncture vine, a fruit-producing Mediterranean plant that's covered with spines) (PMID: 26239676). N-trans-Caffeoyltyramine is also known to be found in Lycium chinense root bark (which produces goji berry or wolfberry) (PMID: 12214850). N-trans-Caffeoyltyramine has both arginase inhibitory properties and a strong antioxidant capacity (DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-119400). These properties may make it useful for the design and development of new drugs for the treatment of endothelial dysfunction associated with cardiovascular diseases. N-Caffeoyltyramine has exhibited anti-cancer activities and appears to inhibit the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its protein tyrosine kinase activity. In addition, N-Caffeoyltyramine appears to activate caspase 3 activity (PMID: 14643446). N-trans-caffeoyltyramine, in particular, has been found to have strong anti-oxidant properties (PMID: 12214850; PMID: 28715870), and potent anti-fungal activities (PMID: 15266117). More recently N-trans-caffeoyltyramine has been identified to be a potent HNF4α agonist (PMID: 35087037). It has been found to promote weight loss by inducing an increase in mitochondrial mass and function, including fatty acid oxidation. It also promotes the reversal of hepatic steatosis through a mechanism involving the stimulation of lipophagy by dihydroceramides (PMID: 34117215). This has made TNC a strong candidate as a NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) therapeutic.
