Kukoamines are chemicals that are present in some plants including Lycium chinense, potatoes, and tomatoes.[2][3][4] The most prevalent example is kukoamine A; others include kukoamine B, C, and D.[5][6][7]
Chemically, kukoamines are catechols and also dihydrocaffeic acid derivatives of polyamines.[4]
