L-Tryptophan betaine
Hypaphorine is an amino acid betaine obtaine by exhaustive methylation of the alpha-amino group of L-tryptophan with concomitant deprotonation of the carboxy group. It has a role as a plant metabolite, a xenobiotic and a fungal metabolite. It is an amino-acid betaine, a L-tryptophan derivative and an indole alkaloid. Hypaphorine is a natural product found in Erythrina suberosa, Erythrina subumbrans, and other organisms with data available. Lenticin or hypaphorine is a compound found in lentil extracts. It can also be detected in blood after an individual has consumed lentils and may therefore serve as a food biomarker. Lenticin is an indole alkaloid that is essentially an N-methylated form of tryptophan. It is known to be a sleep-inducing compound (PMID: 18571406). In plants it is an agonist of the plant hormone indole acetic acid.

Pallidol
Pallidol is a member of the class of compounds known as indanes. Indanes are compounds containing an indane moiety, which consists of a cyclopentane fused to a benzene ring. Pallidol is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Pallidol can be found in grape wine, which makes pallidol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Pallidol is a resveratrol dimer. It can be found in red wine, in Cissus pallida or in Parthenocissus laetevirens .
