Hordenine is a chemical compound found in many plants. Hordenine is one of the alkaloids . It arises biochemically from tyramine .
Hordenin was discovered in 1894 in the cactus Anhalonium fissuratum by Arthur Heffter and named by him anhalonin . In 1906 Leger demonstrated its occurrence in barley ( Hordeum vulgare ), which gave the substance its name, and was able to determine its structure.
pharmacology
Hordenine is a sympathomimetic and activates nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and adrenoceptors in high intravenous doses . This effect does not occur with oral intake (via the digestive tract). Because it is also found in small amounts in forage crops such as barley , animals inadvertently ingest hordes. In horse races, doping can therefore be suspected.
In addition, hordenine has an inhibitory effect on the growth of other plants. Therefore, it is believed that this substance is used for the self-defense of the producing plant.
Analytics
The reliable qualitative and quantitative determination of hordenine is possible after adequate sample preparation by using HPLC .
Cultural meaning
Of the 13,000 different food ingredients that were investigated by a research group at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, the beer ingredient hordenine has the best activity against the dopamine D2 receptor.
