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.
