Another name for caffeine. Its name comes from Yerba mate, a caffeine-containing plant used as a tea. Many yerba mate enthusiasts insist that mateine is a different substance, a stereoisomer of caffeine, but that is impossible because caffeine is an achiral molecule with no chiral centers, and therefore has no stereoisomers.
