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 is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Spermidine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, spermidine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, 5'-methylthioadenosine and spermidine can be biosynthesized from S-adenosylmethioninamine and putrescine; which is mediated by the enzyme spermidine synthase. In addition, S-adenosylmethioninamine and spermidine can be converted into 5'-methylthioadenosine and spermine through the action of the enzyme spermine synthase. In humans, spermidine is involved in spermidine and spermine biosynthesis. Outside of the human body, Spermidine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within milk (cow) and oats. Spermidine has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as american cranberries, sour cherries, arctic blackberries, chinese broccoli, and arabica coffee. This could make spermidine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Spermidine is a potentially toxic compound. A triamine that is the 1,5,10-triaza derivative of decane.
