Common NameNorspermidine
DescriptionNorspermidine, also known as caldine or dipropylentriamin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dialkylamines. These are organic compounds containing a dialkylamine group, characterized by two alkyl groups bonded to the amino nitrogen. While norspermidine has been found to occur naturally in some species of plants, bacteria, and algae, it is not known to exist in humans. Norspermidine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Norspermidine exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, Norspermidine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within white wines and red wines. Norspermidine has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as japanese pumpkins, black cabbages, natal plums, cabbages, and jackfruits. This could make norspermidine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Norspermidine is being researched for use as a cancer medication. Norspermidine is a polyamine of similar structure to the more common spermidine.
