The Uses of 1,4-Diaminobutane dihydrochloride
Putrescine dihydrochloride has been used as medium component in F-12 + GlutaMax medium for mice ganglia culture, retinal ganglion cell culture and in HCT116 colon carcinoma cells for ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) assay.
What are the applications of Application
Putrescine dihydrochloride is an NMDA agonist
General Description
Putrescine is an end product of fatty acid metabolism in dead tissues. It is a volatile diamine with pungent odour. It is synthesized by the decarboxylation of ornithine in the presence of enzyme, ornithine decarboxylase. Molecular docking studies reveal the binding of putrescine to human receptors called the trace amine-associated receptors (TAAR6 and TAAR8), present in olfactory epithelium.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Binds to the polyamine modulatory site of the NMDA receptor and potentiates NMDA-induced currents; precursor of spermidine.
Purification Methods
Crystallise the salt from EtOH/H2O. [Beilstein 4 IV 1284.]
