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 be a natural product in humans as spermidine is.
Norspermidine is being researched for its use as an antitumor medicine in cancer treatment.[5][6]
