Caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) is a plant alkaloid with a chemical structure of C8H10N4O2 and a molecular weight of 194.19. It can be found in at least 63 plant species and is present in their leaves, seeds, and fruits. The structure of caffeine is cyclic, consisting of three methyl groups, four nitrogen atoms, and two oxygen atoms. The presence of an oxygen atom in the caffeine structure renders it capable of forming hydrogen bonding. As a result, it usually appears as white crystals. Caffeine is one of the few plant products with which the public is readily familiar, and it is commonly used to restore mental alertness or wakefulness during fatigue or drowsiness. It is also found in some headache and migraine medications, in some dietary supplements used for weight loss, and in many popular energy drinks.
