Metabolite Identification
Common NamePiperidine
DescriptionPiperidine is an organic compound with the molecular formula (CH2)5NH. This heterocyclic amine consists of a six-membered ring containing five methylene units and one nitrogen atom. Piperdine is a member of the class of compounds known as azacycloalkane. An azacyloalkane is cyclohexane in which one of the carbons is replaced by a nitrogen. Piperdine is a naturally occurring metabolite in the human body. In particular, it is a metabolite of cadaverine, a polyamine found in the human intestine and other mammalian intestines (PMID: 6406679 ). Piperidine is considered to be a microbial metabolite. Piperdine can be isolated from a variety of natural sources or synthesized in the lab and exists as a colorless fuming liquid with an odor described as ammoniacal or pepper-like. The name piperdine comes from the genus name Piper, which is the Latin word for pepper. Piperidine is found in a number of plants including black pepper (Piper nigrum), celery plants, bell peppers and tobacco. The piperidine structural motif is present in numerous natural alkaloids. These include piperine, which gives black pepper its spicy taste. In food, piperidine is a flavouring agent and it is also widely used as a building block and chemical reagent in the synthesis of organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals. As a liquid, piperidine is used as a solvent and as a base.
