Trigonelline is synthesized from nicotinic acid in many plant species. This compound accumulates in seeds of leguminous plants and Coffea sp. The present article reviews the distribution of nicotinic acid conjugates and biosynthetic pathways of trigonelline, including the pyridine nucleotide cycle and de novo synthesis. The function of trigonelline in plants is also discussed.
