Polyamines
Polyamines are organic compounds that contain two or more amino groups (-NH2) linked together with a carbon backbone. The most common polyamines in living organisms are putrescine, spermidine, and spermine. These compounds are involved in a variety of biological processes, such as DNA and protein synthesis, cell growth and differentiation, and regulation of ion channels. They also play a role in plant growth and development, stress tolerance, and response to environmental cues. Polyamines have been studied for their potential use as therapeutic agents, particularly in cancer treatment, because of their ability to regulate cell growth and proliferation.
