Content
Properties
A colorless liquid with a density of 0.870 g / cm 3 and a bale of 178–179 ° C. Cadaverine is readily soluble in water and alcohol , gives well crystallizing salts. Freezes at +9 ° C. It has a very strong cadaveric smell - hence the name.
Cadaverine Biochemistry
Contained in products of putrefactive breakdown of proteins ; formed from lysine during its enzymatic decarboxylation . Earlier, cadaverin was referred to the so-called. cadaveric poisons (ptomainam) , however, the toxicity of cadaverine is relatively small. It is available in free form both in the decaying biomass of animals and plant organisms, and in living plants [1] .
Getting
Artificially cadaverine can be obtained from trimethylene cyanide .
