The negative response to Denatonium's nasty taste (although the pocket gopher, Thomomys talpoides, appears to be an exception) makes this bittering agent ideal for discouraging browsing by deer and crib biting by horses.

 Abstract: 193   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The response to denatonium was blocked by 1 microM norepinephrine (n=4; P<0.01), implying a physiological release mechanism, and by 1 microM nitrendipine (n=4; P<0.02), suggesting an action via L-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels.
The depolarization was due to closure of the KATP channel and activation of a DIDS-sensitive chloride conductance.
Conclusions: Denatonium acts on the KATP channel and a chloride channel in its action to depolarize the beta-cell and stimulate insulin release.

 Patents: Secret of bad taste revealed - 29 April 1989 - New Scientist
The new material, which is five times as bitter as denatonium benzoate and, the inventors claim, tastes appalling even when diluted to one part in 100 million, is called denatonium saccharide.
To make it, the scientists dissolve denatonium chloride and sodium saccharide in water and heat the solution to 60 Degree C. They isolate the denatonium saccharide from the mixture after adding chloroform to it.
Anyone in the US wanting to make denatonium saccharide, by any means, to use its bitter taste in any way, will have to seek a licence from Atomergic.

 Aversive Agent
The role of aversive agents such as denatonium benzoate in preventing unintentional poisonings in children or morbidity from such poisonings remains poorly defined.
Very limited human volunteer study data indicate that aversive agents such as denatonium benzoate decrease the amount of orange juice or the amount of a very dilute soap solution a child will voluntarily ingest in a controlled, nonpoisoning situation.
Even though denatonium benzoate has already been utilized as an alcohol denaturant, hypersensitivity reactions may well have gone undetected.

 Rats Fail to Discriminate Quinine from Denatonium: Implications for the Neural Coding of Bitter-Tasting Compounds -- ...
Behavioral-suppression scores for each stimulus concentration were derived by taking the ratio of licks during stimulus trials relative to licks during water trials (only the last 3 sec of the 5 sec trials were used to eliminate the initial sampling response).
Isoresponse concentrations of denatonium that suppressed licking to the same degree as the array of quinine concentrations were then derived (dashed lines and arrows).
Note that the substitution of denatonium for quinine had no effect on performance, whereas substitution of NaCl for denatonium substantially disrupted performance initially, but the animals eventually learned the discrimination.
