Hordenine (N,N-Dimethyltyramine) is a potent phenylethylamine alkaloid with antibacterial and antibiotic properties produced in nature by several varieties of plants in the family Cactaceae.

Peyote (Lophophora williamsii), San Pedro cactus (Trichocereus pachanoi), and Peruvian Torch cactus (Trichocereus peruvianus) all produce high levels of this compound. These cacti also produce high levels of Mescaline and other phenylethylamine compounds.

Cacti in the genus Ariocarpus, Pereskia, and Coryphantha also produce these alkaloids, though not in high concentrations.
