Abstract

High performance liquid chromatography of alumina extracts of several tissues in Polyorchis penicillatus show the presence of dopamine and a catecholamine resembling norepinephrine. Dopamine is found in the highest concentrations in nerve-rich tissue (120 fmol·mg wet wt^-1), at intermediate concentrations in endoderm-rich tissue (30 fmol·mg^-1), and at the lowest concentrations in the mesoglea (10 fmol·mg^-1). The presence of dopamine was confirmed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry with negative ion chemical ionization, but norepinephrine and epinephrine could not be detected in nerve-rich tissue.
