Overview
A polyamine is a type of organic compound, which consists of two or more amino groups. Alkyl polyamines are found naturally in the environment, but a few are synthetic. They are water-soluble, colorless, and hygroscopic. They exist in the form of ammonium derivatives. The majority of aromatic polyamines exist as crystalline solids at room temperature. Polyamines such as spermine, spermidine, and putrescine are present in all living cells. They play a critical role in various physiological and biochemical processes, in health and disease, and in promoting plant life. A gradual decrease in polyamine levels and certain disease occur in humans with age. Consuming a high dose of polyamine can be detrimental for patients who are suffering from aging, cancer, cognitive, and innate immunity impairment in cases of Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. The topics included in this book on the role of polyamines are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers.
