Chemical compound
Norspermidine is a polyamine of similar structure to the more common spermidine. While norspermidine has been found to occur naturally in some species of plants,[1][2] bacteria,[3] and algae,[4] it is not known to exist in humans.
Norspermidine is being researched for use as a cancer medication.[5][6]
