cadaverine

Pentane-1,5-diamine dihydrochloride (Cadaverine dihydrochloride), dihydrochloride salt of cadaverine (a diamine), is a biogenic amine

N-(5-Aminopentyl)acetamide (N-Acetylcadaverine) is the acetylated form of the polyamine cadaverine. Cadaverine is produced by the breakdown of amino acids in living and dead organisms and is toxic in large doses. N-(5-Aminopentyl)acetamide is a promising biochemical marker for cancer and many other pathophysiological conditions.

5-aminovalerate (or 5-aminopentanoic acid) is a lysine degradation product. It can be produced both endogenously or through bacterial catabolism of lysine. 5-aminovalerate is formed via the following multi-step reaction: L-lysine leads to cadverine leads
