Description

General description

Bis(hexamethylene)triamine (Bis-HEA, BHMT, BHMTA) is an aliphatic polyamine. It is a spermidine analog and has been reported to lack the enhancing effect on mitochondrial Ca(2⁺) accumulation but shows inhibitory effect on the Ca(2⁺) and Pi-induced mitochondrial permeability transition.[1] Its ability in inhibiting shale swelling and dispersion in water-based drilling fluid has been investigated.[2]
