QUICK LINKS

Putrescine dihydrochloride can bind to the polyamine modulatory site of the NMDA (N-methyl D-aspartate) receptor and potentiate NMDA-induced currents. Polyamines belong to a group of aliphatic amines that are selective and act on different ion channels. Putrescine dihydrocloride is a precursor of spermidine. Putrescine dihydrochloride is an activator of NMDA.
