Hordatine A is a phenolic secondary metabolite and an adrenergic antagonist that is found in barley. This natural product is a member of the class benzofurans, and can also be found in barley malt and beer, as it withstands moderate processing.[1] Hordatine A is a hydroxycinnamic acid amide derivative (HCAA) as well as a dimer of coumaroyl agmatine, and is plentiful during the development of barley seedlings, specifically in the shoots.[2] Hordatines and their hydroxycinnamoyl agmatine precursors are of interest because of their antifungal activity against plant pathogens, such as inhibiting spore germination of many fungi species. Hordatine A is thought to be a phytoanticipin, because it is observed in significant amounts in young seedlings and at early growth stages.[3]

Biosynthesis

[edit]

The first step in the biosynthesis of hordatine A is characterized by the use of the enzyme agmatine coumaroyltransferase (ACT), which catalyzes the formation of p-coumaroylagmatine from p-coumaroyl-CoA and agmatine. The second step in the biosynthesis of the natural product is characterized by the oxidative coupling of two molecules of p-coumaroylagmatine by the enzyme peroxidase.[4][5] The formation of this homodimer and its observable furan ring results from the hydroxy group of one p-coumaroylagmatine molecule reacting with the ethylene double bond of the other molecule.[6]

Biosynthesis of hordatine A, where ACT = agmatine coumaroyltransferase, CoASH = coenzyme A.

Function

[edit]

Hordatine A and hordatine B are potential inhibitors of COVID-19 main protease and RNA polymerase, and could serve as potential therapeutic drugs against COVID-19. Hordatine A has been found to overcome activity of key targets of COVID-19, the first being the protease 7BQY and the second being the RNA polymerase 7bV2. Out of multiple target compounds found to possess binding affinities to these targets, hordatine A and hordatine B were found to not only have the highest binding affinity but to also have a higher binding affinity than the native ligand in RNA polymerase, Remdesivir. This is due to the substantial interaction of Hordatine A and B with varying receptor-binding residues, as well as the hydrogen bond formation of Hordatines to catalytic residues.[7]
