Caffeine: The Most Popular Nutraceutical
• Use dates back to the stone age
• Popular: easy access and few documented negative side effects
• Effects: ↑ heart rate, ↑ respiration rate, psychotropic effects

ChemDraw (convert name to structure)
Mode of Action
Caffeine stimulates the nervous system
It binds to adenosine receptors on neurons in the brain
Adenosine receptors: normally causes you to feel tired and slows down the nervous system
If caffeine binds to them = opposite effect
Fisone, G; Borgkvist, A; Usiello, A. Caffeine as a psychomotor stimulant: mechanism of action. CMLS 2003, Volume 61, 857-867
How much is too much?
No RDA for caffeine UL is 300-400 mg/day No Adequate Intake
established Negative side effects:
heart rate, anxiety, depression, insomnia, nausea, and vomiting
Lethal dose is 10g

Caffeine Consumption Biosynthesis v. Synthetic Synthesis Synthetic more in energy drinks Synthetic is cheaper and faster Natural: found more in tea and coffee Natural is buffered with over 500 plant molecules
o Slower actingo More expensive

Why is caffeine produced in plants?
-Caffeine is a naturally occurring pesticide

The Future for Caffeine
Continued abuse
Potential use in fighting cancer
Market will shift toward synthetic caffeine
