Theobrominum

compositum chemicum

Theobrominum, etiam xantheosum appellatum, est principale Theobromatis cacao alcaloidum.[1] Aliquantulum solubile in aqua (330 mg/L) est, gustatu amarum.[2] Additivo cibario? et precursori nonnullorum faciei medicaminum in rebus fabricandis prodest.[1] Invenitur in socolata variisque cibis aliis, foliis Camelliae sinensis plantisque generis Colae non exclusis. Theobrominum est solidum album, aut colore caret, sed exemplaria in commercio adhibita subflava videri possunt.[2]

Bellaria socolatae et socolata liquefacta. Socolata e nuce cocoa? fit, e naturali theobromini fonte.

Structura

recensere

Theobrominum est molecula plana,[3] e purino deductum. Dimethyl? xanthinum describitur.[2][4] Inter cognata composita chemica sunt theophyllinum, caffeinum, paraxanthinum, et 7-methylxanthinum, quorum quodque numero vel loco gregum methylatorum unicum est.[2]

Historia

recensere

Theobrominum primum anno 1841 inventum est[5] in nucibus Theobromatis cacao ab Alexandro Voskresenskij, chemico Russico.[6] Synthesis theobromini ex xanthino primum anno 1882 a Hermanno Aemilio Fischer nuntiata est.[7][8][9]

Etymologia

recensere

Deducitur vocabulum theobrominum a Theobromate (nomine generis arboris cacao) + -inum, suffixo alcaloidorum aliorumque compositorum quae nitrogenium basicum continent.[10] Quod nomen vicissim in theo 'deo' + broma 'cibo' radicibus Graecis consistit, una 'victum deorum' significantes.[11] Contra autem nomen, hoc compositum bromino caret.

Caffeinum in iecure metabolizatur in tria metabolita primaria: paraxanthinum (84%), theobrominum (12%), et theophyllinum (4%).

Inter species plantarum quibus sunt notabiles theobromini summae sunt:[12]

Parvae theobromini summae etiam in nuce cola,? baccis Paulliniae cupanae, Ilice paraguariensi, Ilice vomitoria, Ilice guayusa, et Camellia sinensi inveni possunt.[13]
