It stimulates the release of norepinephrine in mammals, working as a stimulant. It is produced in nature by several varieties of plants in the family Cactaceae and by some in Acacia.[1]
Occurrence in nature
Sprouting Hordeum vulgare (barley) seeds contain hordenine as the main alkaloid in their roots.[2]
Peyote (Lophophora williamsii), San Pedro cactus (Echinopsis pachanoi), and Peruvian Torch cactus (Echinopsis peruviana) all produce high levels of this compound.[citation needed] These cacti also produce high levels of mescaline and other phenylethylamine compounds.
Cacti in the genus Ariocarpus, Opuntia, Pereskia, and Coryphantha also produce these alkaloids, though not in high concentrations.
Aztekium also contains it.
Hordenine exhibits an inhibitory action against at least 18 strains of penicillin resistant Staphylococcus bacteria.[3]
