Metabolite Identification
Common NameSpermidine
DescriptionSpermidine, also known as SPD, 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. Spermidine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Spermidine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Spermidine is a potentially toxic compound.
