Sinapine is an alkaloidal amine found in some seeds, particularly oil seeds of plants in the family Brassicaceae.[2] It is the choline ester of sinapic acid.

Sinapine was discovered by Étienne-Ossian Henry in 1825.[3]

Occurrence

[edit]

Sinapine typically occurs in the outer seed coat of oil crops and is plentiful in some types of press cake leftover after vegetable oil extraction.[2] Typical oil seed cake residues high in sinapine include Brassica juncea (1.22% by mass),[4] and rapeseed (0.39-1.06% by mass).[5]

Isolation

[edit]

The typical protocol for extracting sinapine from seed cakes entails defatting the cake with hexane via a Soxhlet apparatus followed by extraction with 70% methanol held at 75 °C.[5]

Biosynthesis and metabolism

[edit]

The enzyme sinapoylglucose—choline O-sinapoyltransferase, characterised from radish and white mustard, converts 1-O-sinapoyl-beta-D-glucose and choline to sinapine.[6] The same transformation occurs in rapeseed.[7]


The enzyme sinapine esterase from radish can metabolise sinapine by hydrolysis to sinapinic acid and choline:[8]
