Common 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.

Specific function:
Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. At the onset of apoptosis it proteolytically cleaves poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) at a '216-Asp-|-Gly-217' bond. Cleaves and activates sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) between the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper domain and the membrane attachment domain. Cleaves and activates caspase-6, -7 and -9. Involved in the cleavage of huntingtin. Triggers cell adhesion in sympathetic neurons through RET cleavage. Cleaves and inhibits serine/threonine-protein kinase AKT1 in response to oxidative stress. Acts as an inhibitor of type I interferon production during virus-induced apoptosis by mediating cleavage of antiviral proteins CGAS, IRF3 and MAVS, thereby preventing cytokine overproduction. Cleaves XRCC4 and phospholipid scramblase proteins XKR4, XKR8 and XKR9, leading to promote phosphatidylserine exposure on apoptotic cell surface.
