Chemical Constituents


Nitrogenous Compounds Miscellaneous Nitrogenous Compounds

The most potent and predominant chemical entity in Capsicum is capsaicin (0.14%) (Cordell and Araujo, 1993). A series of homologous branched- and straight-chain alkyl vanillylamides, collectively known as capsaicinoids, is present in lesser concentrations than the parent compound, capsaicin. Of the capsaicinoid fraction, capsaicin (48.6%) is quantitatively followed by 6,7-dihydrocapsaicin (36%), nordihydrocapsaicin (7.4%), homodihydrocapsaicin (2%), and homocapsaicin (2%) (Duke, 1985). Capsaicinoids and capsaicin are collectively found in amounts of 0.1% to 1%, with quantities varying according to soil and climate (Rumsfield and West, 1991).
Capsaicin, a colorless crystalline substance, was first synthesized in 1930. Capsaicin has been studied since the mid-19th century and its structure is elucidated as 8-methyl-6-nonenoyl vanillylamide (Cordell and Araujo, 1993). Most pharmacological studies performed with isolated constituents of chile pepper have focused on Capsaicin, which is the major pungent constituent.
The crude extract of Capsicum fruits, known as Capsicum oleoresin, contains at least 100 different volatile chemical constituents, and therefore may function in differing ways from pure capsaicin. Thus, it is important to distinguish between studies using capsaicin and those employing Capsicum oleoresin (Cordell and Araujo, 1993).
Nonivamide (pelargonic acid vanillylamide) is a common synthetic adulterant of Capsicum products. Although structurally different from Capsaicin, its presence in Capsicum or capsaicin samples can be detected spectrographically and there is no evidence that this compound occurs naturally in Capsicum (Cordell and Araujo, 1993).
The most important constituents of Capsicum are pungent phenol compounds (0.05 - 1.5 %), the most prominent is capsaicin (C18H27NO3) the vanillyl amide of isodecenoic acid. Besides capsaicin (69% or 10 - 800 mg %of herb), the pungent principle contains dihydrocapsaicin (22%), nordihydrocapsaicin (7%), homo-capsaicin (1%), and homodihydrocapsaicin (1%). Some other constituents include carotenoids (capsanthin, capsorubin, carotene, lutein etc.). There is also a minute quantity of a liquid alkaloid, a saponin capsicidin and a fixed oil. Capsicum also contains up to 0.2% ascorbic acid.
The vitamin and mineral content (per 100 gm) is: calcium (29 mg), phosphorus (78 mg), iron (1.2 mg), potassium (374 mg) beta-carotene 12,960 IU), thiamine (0.22 mg), riboflavin (0.36 mg), and niacin (4.4 mg).

Terpenoid Compounds Steroids

Other parts of the plant contain steroidal alkaloid glycosides (solanine, solanidine, solasodine) (Newall et al., 1996). The seeds contain the steroidal glycosides capsicoside A through D, all furostanol glycosides (Yahara et al., 1994)

Other Constituents
C. annuum is rich in carotenoid pigments, including capsanthin, capsorubrin, carotene,luteine, zeaxanthin, and cucurbitaxanthin A) (Leung and Foster, 1996; Hornero-M¨¦ndez and M¨ªnguez-Mosquera, 1998).
Capsicum is also rich in fats (9-17%) and protein (12-15%) (Leung and Foster, 1996) and is an excellent source of vitamin C (~370 mg/100 g) and vitamin A (77,000 IU/100 g, equivalent to 7,700 RE/100 g) (Ensminger et al., 1993).
Volatile oils are present as a trace component, including over 125 individual constituents, 24 of which have been identified (Marsh, 1977).
Scopoletin, a coumarin, also occurs in the plant (Newall et al., 1996).

Medicinal Action and Uses of Capsicum(Cayenne,Red Pepper):

Capsicum(Cayenne,Red Pepper) is A powerful local stimulant, with no narcotic effect largely used in hot climates as a condiment, and most useful in atony of the intestines and stomach. It should not be used in ordinary gastric catarrh. For persons addicted to drink it seems to be useful possibly by reducing the dilated blood-vessels and thus relieving chronic congestion. It is often added to tonics and is said to be unequalled for warding off diseases. Herbalists use it largely in pill form and powdered. Externally it is a strong rubefacient and acts gently with no danger of vesication; is applied as a cataplasm or as a liniment; it can be mixed with 10 to 20 per cent of cotton-seed oil. The powder or the tincture is beneficial for relaxed uvula. A preparation in use in the West Indies called Mandram, for weak digestion and loss of appetite, is made of thinly sliced and unskinned cucumbers, shallots, chives, or onions, lemon or lime juice, Madeira, and a few pods of bird pepper well mashed up in the liquids. It can be used as a chutney.

The Healing Power of Cayenne Pepper describes remedies using cayenne alone or in mixtures with ordinary items like lemon, vinegar, olive oil, honey, garlic , aspirin and more for common health problems like:

*Ulcers:Cayenne has been shown to actually protect against peptic ulcers when taken properly.
*Blood regulater:Cayenne regulates the flow of blood from the head to the feet so that it is equalized, it influences the heart immediately then gradually extends its effects to the arteries, capillaries, and nerves - the frequency of the pulse is not increased, but is given more power

*Speed circulation,slow bleeding:Capsicum has been used traditionally to speed circulation, slow bleeding, and as a general tonic. This herb helps to regulate the heart and blood pressure, and also to get circulation to the extremities.

Studies have shown that it can raise metabolic rates by as much as 25 percent, aid in treating herpes, shingles and Raynauds disease, and help prevent heart disease and ulcers. Cayenne is also used as a natural pain killer with anti-inflammatory properties. Cayenne may be used internally or externally to treat arthritis, bunions, psoriasis, and muscle and joint pain. For external use just open a capsule and add some to a cream or lotion that you are already using if you want to use it for massage. Taken internally, cayenne is used to treat ulcers, improve circulation, and aid digestion. It is used as a tonic for the heart, kidneys, lungs, pancreas, spleen and stomach and to treat herpes, shingles and rheumatism.
A stimulating stomachic. A catalyst for all herbs. Improves circulation, aids digestion by stimulating gastric juices, stimulates the appetite, reduces inflammation, is a mild stimulant or tonic, improves metabolism, relieves gas, colds, chills, and stops bleeding from ulcers. Good for the kidneys, lungs, spleen, pancreas, heart, and stomach.
*Cayenne as Catalyst:Commonly used in herbal combinations as a catalyst to increase delivery of other synergistic herbs, Capsicum and related peppers have a long history of use as digestive aids in many parts of the world.
*Cayenne as Cardiovascular stimulant:As a cardiovascular stimulant, Capsicum assists in lowering blood pressure and breaking down cholesterol buildup. The warming properties of Capsicum are useful for people suffering from poor circulation to the hands & feet and other related conditions.
*Cayenne as Great Stimulant:Cayenne is a medicinal and nutritional herb. It is the purest and most certain stimulant...The herb is a great food for the circulatory system in that it feeds the necessary elements into the cell structure of the arteries, veins, and capillaries so that these regain the elasticity of youth again, and the blood pressure adjusts itself to normal. It rebuilds the tissue in the stomach and heals stomach and intestinal ulcers, in equalizing the blood circulation, cayenne produces natural warmth, and in stimulating the peristaltic motion of the intestines it aids in assimilation and elimination....When the venous structure becomes loaded with sticky mucus, the blood has a harder time circulating, therefore, higher pressure forces the liquid through.
*Capsaicin and Atypical Facial Pain:Recently Capsaicin has been used to treat atypical facial pain, especially when a specific pain "trigger point" (a place, if touched, causes or exacerbates facial pain) is involved. Capsaicin is applied directly to this "trigger point" several times a day. If the trigger point is inside the mouth, a plastic dental splint is used to apply the capsaicin cream. If the trigger point is on the face, it is topically applied. In some cases, pain reduction only occurs after several weeks of application. There is anecdotal evidence that a course of capsaicin treatment can result in long-term pain remission for some patients with atypical facial pain.
*Tips on Using Capsaicin:Capsaicin usually burns when first applied. It sometimes takes more than a day or two for the effect to kick in, which is when the burning sensation stops. So spending a little more time building up a tolerance to the burning sensation might be one way to make the discomfort a bit more bearable.... It takes something with true detergent action to get this stuff off your skin -- a mild baby shampoo or dish liquid is your best bet -- and a wipe-down with rubbing alcohol won''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t hurt either. But if you can tolerate it on your skin for at least 15 minutes (so say the package inserts) you will get the benefit even if you have to wash it off later.
