Neurineis analkaloidfound in egg yolk, brain, bile and in cadavers. It is formed during putrefaction of biological tissues by thedehydrationofcholine.It is a poisonous, syrupy liquid with a fishy odor.

Neurine is aquaternary ammonium saltwith threemethylgroups and onevinyl groupattached to the nitrogen atom. Synthetically, neurine can be prepared by the reaction ofacetylenewithtrimethylamine.^[1]Neurine is unstable and decomposes readily to form trimethylamine.
