Caffeine
Caffeine is the most consumed drug in the world. Chemically, caffeine is 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine -- meaning it is a xanthine molecule with methyl groups replacing all of the three hydrogens bound to nitrogens in the xanthine ring. Xanthines are very potent antioxidants and in numerous studies they have proven to have great potency in protecting cells from oxidative damage.


Of the 3 xanthines, caffeine is the one with the strongest action on the CNS. It’s mechanism of action is primarily due to antagonism of adenosine and secondly due to inhibition of the phosphodiesterase enzyme which breaks up cAMP into adenosine and monophosphoric acid. Caffeine's antagonism of adenosine action on A2A receptors decreases release of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA. Apart from it’s effect on the CNS, caffeine also is the strongest xanthine in promoting muscular performance. Majority of published evidence supports the notion that caffeine is ergogenic during prolonged (> 30 min), moderate intensity (approximately 75 to 80% VO2max) exercise. Suggested mechanisms for this action are (a) increased myofilament affinity for calcium and/or increased release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in skeletal muscle; (b) cellular actions caused by accumulation of cyclic-3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in various tissues including skeletal muscle and adipocytes; and (c) cellular actions mediated by competitive inhibition of adenosine receptors in the central nervous system and somatic cells [2]. Caffeine also promotes lypolisis and thermogenesis[3,4,5,6]. It’s effects on BP are mixed, since the CNS stimulation increases BP while the peripheral vasolidation decreases BP. Chronic caffeine consumption hasn’t shown to be a risk factor for hypertension or CVS disease[7,8].

Theobromine
Unlike caffeine which is naturally present in many plants, theobromine exists almost exclusively in cocoa. It generally has a much weaker effect on the CNS than caffeine but current research shows that it might play an important role in the mood-enhancing effects of chocolate[9] It is however a very potent diuretic which can rapidly lower blood pressure, increase insulin sensitivity[10,11] and has an antiplatelet and cardioprotective effect[12]

Synephrine


Synephrine is naturally found in the Citrus aurantium plants. A wide variety of citrus materials containing synephrine are used in Chinese medicine and have generally been regarded as non-toxic; [13,14]Synephrine is a direct alpha and beta adrenergic agonist, differing from adrenaline only in the lack of the m-hydroxyl group. This results in greater action in the CNS than adrenaline, since it makes the molecule less hydrophilic and more capable of bypassing the blood brain barrier. Also it means that Synephrine has an extended half-life in comparison to adrenaline, as it cannot be metabolized by COMT . The methyl substitution at the N molecule gives synephrine equal alpha and beta agonistic action. Testing showed that when given by i.v. infusion to healthy volunteers at a rate of 4 mg/minute, synephrine increases systolic and mean arterial blood pressure, increases cardiac index, and decreases peripheral vascular resistance resulting in enhanced heart performance[15]

Tyramine



Tyramine is a trace amine found naturally in the body, as well as many "old" foods, like salami, cheese, red wine, e.t.c. Tyramine acts by replacing catecholamins like adrenaline and dopamine in the post-senaptic neurons, thus resulting in catecholamine release.[16] Recent research indicates that tyramine might also act as a neurotransmitter. This hypothesis comes from the discovery of a G protein-coupled receptor with high affinity for tyramine called TA1[17]

Octopamine



Just like synephrine which stands apart from adrenaline only due the reduction of an –OH group, octopamine is almost similar to noradrenalin, with the exclusion of a phenolic hydroxyl group. This makes the molecule more capable to bypass the blood brain barrier and affect the C.N.S. compared to normal noradrenalin. Also the lack of a methyl group at the nitrogen, gives it equal alpha and beta adrenergic properties. Because it lacks the m-placed hydroxyl group, octopamine, like synephrine, isn’t metabolized by COMT, thus having a longer half-life and bioavailability. Indeed, in animal in-vivo studies oral octopamine has demonstrated capability to stimulate both alpha and beta adrenergic receptors(18,19). However it quite selectively stimulates beta-3 adrenergic receptors, which promote lipolysis, instead of beta-1 and beta-2 receptors[20,21,22]. In animal studies, octopamine has also demonstrated capability to elevate mood, increase blood pressure and enhance locomotor activity[23,24]

Hordenine



Hordenine is a naturally present amine in many roots of plants of the Graminae family. The lack of a hydroxyl group in the carbon chain gives it indirect sympathomemetic abilities, like amphetamine. The dymethylation of the nitrogen atom also gives it slight MAO inhibiting properties, but hordenine seems to be a selective MAO-B inhibitor. MAO-B metabolizes dopamine and thus it’s inhibition has no great effect in blood pressure, but can elevate mood. Experiments in intact animals (rats, dogs) show that hordenine has a positive inotropic effect upon the heart, increases systolic and diastolic blood pressure, peripheral blood flow volume, inhibits gut movements but has no effect upon the psychomotorical behaviour of mice. Also hordenine is a very potent diuretic and although it can initially heighten blood pressure, over time it’s diuretic effect lowers blood pressure.[25]

Phenylethylamine(PEA)
Of all the endogenous trace amines, phenylethylamine is the one most closely structural to amphetamine. It is a major psychotropic constituent of chocolate and is speculated to be released in great amounts by the brain when in love[16]. Recent research has identified 15 members of two distinct families of G protein-coupled receptors with a high degree of similarity to traditional G protein-coupled biogenic amine receptors. It was demonstrated that one of these receptors, called TA1, is a receptor for two of the trace amines, â-phenylethylamine and tyramine. TA1 binds to both â-phenylethylamine and tyramine with high affinity and produces cAMP in response to this binding, whereas the related TA2 receptor appears to be specific for â-phenylethylamine and tryptamine. Both of these G protein-coupled receptor families possess many of the structural hallmarks of the rhodopsin/â-adrenergic receptor superfamily[17]. Apart from affecting it’s own receptors, phenylethylamine can also enhance the impulse-propagation mediated release of catecholamine and serotonin[26], although research has indicated that tryptamine possesses greater capability of promoting serotonin release(thus elevating mood) while PEA promotes noradrenaline release(thus stimulating the CNS). Phenylethylamine has shown in research to elevate mood [27,28,29,30] but the biggest challenge has been it’s relatively low half life, since it is rapidly metabolized by MAO-B. However the inclusion of a MAO-B inhibitor like hordenine can lengthen it’s half-life and effectiveness.[31]
