Metabolite Identification
Common NameHordenine
DescriptionHordenine, also known as anhalin or cactine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenethylamines. Phenethylamines are compounds containing a phenethylamine moiety, which consists of a phenyl group substituted at the second position by an ethan-1-amine. Hordenine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Hordenine exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, Hordenine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within barley. Hordenine has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as cereals and cereal products, corns, oats, sweet oranges, and tamarinds. This could make hordenine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. In a subsequent paper, Camus reported that the intravenous (IV) administration of some hundreds of mg of hordenine sulfate to dogs or rabbits caused an increase in blood pressure and changes in the rhythm and force of contraction of the heart, noting also that the drug was not orally active. Common salts are hordenine hydrochloride, R-NH3+Cl−, m.p. 178 °C, and hordenine sulfate, (R-NH3+)2SO42−, m.p. 211 °C.The "methyl hordenine HCl" which is listed as an ingredient on the labels of some nutritional supplements is in all likelihood simply hordenine hydrochloride, since the "description" of "methyl hordenine HCl" given by virtually all bulk suppliers of this substance corresponds to that for hordenine hydrochloride (or possibly just hordenine). The hordenine content of various malts and malt fractions was extensively studied by Poocharoen himself, who also provided a good coverage of related literature up to 1983.
