Application

Putrescine dihydrochloride has been used:
  • as a bioactive amine standard in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
  • as a component of hormone mix supplemented to Dulbecco′s modified eagle medium (DMEM) to study its effects on neural stem cells[1]
  • as a supplement in DMEM for culturing of endometrial cancer cells[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Binds to the polyamine modulatory site of the NMDA receptor and potentiates NMDA-induced currents; precursor of spermidine.
Binds to the polyamine modulatory site of the NMDA receptor; potentiates NMDA-induced currents.
Putrescine is an aliphatic amine and is positively charged.[3] It acts as a precursor of spermine and plays a role in polyamine biosynthesis.[3] Putrescine is found in several plants, animals, and bacteria. It plays a role in cell proliferation and cell growth in Escherichia coli.[4] Putrescine is a component of agrochemicals, surfactants, pharmaceuticals, polymers, and additives.[5]

Questions

  1. if Putrescine dihydrochloride (P7505, ≥98% TLC) is suitable for HPLC analysis? If not, please recommend an alternative HPLC-grade putrescine product

    1 answer
    1. This product is not tested for suitability in HPLC. Unfortunately, no other Dihydrochloride form is tested for HPLC applications. However, the base form, available as a standard under product number 51799, has been tested for suitability in HPLC and GC. In addition, the purity of product D13208, 1,4-Diaminobutane (Putrescine), is determined by GC. Please see the links below to review these product options.
