Hordenine (N,N-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenylethylamine) is a phenethylamine alkaloid with antibacterial and antibiotic properties. It works as a stimulant in mammals, increasing heart rate and blood pressure whilst stimulating the release of norepinephrine.^[1] The effects of hordenine are typically short-lasting, with research carried out on horses suggesting that the animals were no longer affected after 30 minutes.^[2] It is produced in nature by several varieties of plants in the family Cactaceae and by some in Acacia.^[3]

Occurrence in nature[link]

Sprouting barley (Hordeum vulgare) seeds contain hordenine as the main alkaloid in their roots.^[4] The alkaloid is also present in reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea), a tall perennial grass, and in Ungernia trisphaera, a small flowering species.^[5]

Peyote (Lophophora williamsii), San Pedro cactus (Echinopsis pachanoi), and Peruvian Torch cactus (Echinopsis peruviana) all produce high levels of this compound^{[citation needed]}, reportedly along with many other members of the Echinopsis genus^[6]. These cacti also produce high levels of mescaline and other phenylethylamine compounds. Cacti in the genus Ariocarpus, Aztekium, Opuntia, Pereskia, and Coryphantha also produce these alkaloids, though not in high concentrations.^[7] Obregonia contains Hordenine, with a reported yield of 0.002%.^[8]

Antibacterial properties[link]

Hordenine exhibits an inhibitory action against at least 18 strains of penicillin resistant Staphylococcus bacteria or MRSA.^[9]

John Czawlytko^[1] (born February 22, 1963),^[1] better known by his ring name Max Muscle, is a retired Polish professional wrestler best known for his appearances in WCW in the mid-late 1990s.

Czawlytko began his career in 1992, wrestling under the ring name The Brute as part of the tag team the Skull Crushers along with The Beast (Bryan Carreiro).^[1]

He first appeared in WCW in 1993 under the name Big Bad John, making appearances on WCW Saturday Night, WCW Main Event and WCW Pro. In 1995 he was repackaged as Diamond Dallas Page's bodyguard, Max Muscle, memorably helping Page cheat in arm wrestling contests. In 1996, Muscle joined the Dungeon of Doom faction, shaving his hair into a mohawk and using the name Maxx.

Czawlytko retired from wrestling in 2002.
