Neurin, also Vinyltrimethylammoniumhydroxid or Trimethylvinylammoniumhydroxid, is a poisonous alkaloid. It forms as a part of the body with poison putrefaction of protein, such as lean meat rotting, with elimination of water from the choline. Neurin and choline, both among the quaternary ammonium compounds. A distinction of neurin is the non-toxic Neuridin (or spermine ).

Formation

When putrefaction arises from the present in nearly all living organisms choline on heating with elimination of water neurin ( the anion has been omitted in each case ):

Toxicology

In older studies from 1926 and 1935 on guinea pigs, mice and rabbits neurin showed high toxicity; the determined LDLO values ​​were between 30 and 100 mg / kg body weight of the animals used.
