General description

Isopentylamine is an aliphatic amine that is reported to occur in wine and eggs.

Application


  • Isopentylamine is a novel defence compound induced by insect feeding in rice.: This study explores the role of isopentylamine as a defense compound in rice when exposed to insect feeding. The research highlights its potential in enhancing plant resistance mechanisms against pests (Aboshi et al., 2021).

Methylisoamylnitrosamine, a carcinogenic N-nitroso compound, has been formed in glucose ammonium nitrate medium containing 150 mg of isoamylamine (a primary amine) inoculated with a common fungus (Fusarium moniliforme Sheldon), to which 400 mg NaNO2 are added after incubation for 7-8

Nitrosomethylisoamylamine (NMIA), a carcinogenic N-nitroso compound was synthesized from isoamylamine (IAA) in a glucose-ammonium nitrate medium after several days' incubation with fungi and subsequent nitrosation with sodium nitrate. The nitrosamine was not produced by control reactions which lacked either IAA

1. Gas liquid chromatography (GLC) was used to test the production of amines by 85 strains of Enterobacteriaceae. 2. The strains tested produced cadaverine, beta-phenylethylamine, putrescine, iso-amylamine, 2-methylbutylamine and iso-butylamine. 3. Although the overlap in amine production between obviously different
