四甲尿酸(Theacrine)全名是1,3,7,9-四甲基尿酸,是由古布阿蘇英语Cupuaçu茶树葉子上提煉的生物鹼[1][2]。四甲尿酸有抗炎性镇痛的效果,其結構類似咖啡因,也會以類似的方式影響腺苷的信号[2][3]。一般認為在茶葉上,四甲尿酸是由三步驟的路徑,由咖啡因所合成[2]

結構類似咖啡因

[编辑]

四甲尿酸很類似咖啡因,差異只有一個酮基,以及在9-碳上的甲基基團。

Caffeine vs Theacrine

安全性

[编辑]

临床实验显示,健康人类可以每日安全服用 300 mg 四甲尿酸持续 8 周,且不会产生习惯。[4]实验中未发现四甲尿酸具有咖啡因等其他兴奋剂的快速耐受现象。[4]

在动物实验中,四甲尿酸的LD50为 810 mg/kg,[5][4]高于咖啡因的 265 mg/kg。[6]

    • These findings support the clinical safety and non-habituating neuro-energetic effects of TeaCrine® supplementation over 8 weeks of daily use (up to 300 mg/day). Moreover, there was no evidence of a tachyphylactic response that is typical of neuroactive agents such as caffeine and other stimulants.
    • Specifically, the acute toxicity for theacrine ingestion in mice has been previously reported [4] to be an LD50 of 810.6 mg/kg, which would equate to roughly 4.0 g for an individual weighing 76 kg.
