Cadaverine

α, є-pentamethy lenediamine, NH ₂(CH ₂)₅ NH₂. A colorless liquid with a boiling point of 178°-179°C. Cadave-rine is readily soluble in water and alcohol and yields crystallizing salts. It is contained in the products of protein decay (putrefaction) and is formed from lysine during its fermentative decarboxylation. Previously, cadaverine was thought of as one of the ptomaines, but the toxicity of cadaverine is relatively low. Cadaverine is found in plants and can be obtained synthetically from trimethylenecyanide.

cadaverine

[kah-dav´er-in] a relatively nontoxic ptomaine, C₅H₁₄N₂, formed by decarboxylation of lysine; it is sometimes one of the products of Vibrio proteus and of V. cholerae, and occasionally found in the urine in cystinuria, where it causes an unpleasant odor.
