Quassin is the archetypal example of compounds from the quassinoids family. It is a naturally occurring metabolite of the quassia tree. It was first isolated in 1937 and is known to be one of the most bitter substances used in nature. It is safe to consume and is therefore used as a food additive. Quassia extracts are used as nutritional supplements to treat anorexia, constipation, and fever. Quassin has also been used in non-medicinal/non-nutritional products such as aftershaves, furniture polish, and insect mats.
