A polyamine is an organic compound having two or more primary amino groups {chem|–NH|2}. This class of compounds includes several synthetic substances that are important feedstocks for the chemical industry, such as ethylene diamine {chem|H|2|N–CH|2|–CH|2|–NH|2}, 1,3-diaminopropane {chem|H|2|N–(CH|2|)|3|–NH|2}, and hexamethylenediamine...

Polycations at physiological pH, polyamines can bind and interact with various other molecules within the cell. In particular interact with DNA but also may modulate ion channels and act as growth factors. Spermine has four positive charges, spermidine has three. The precursor of both, putrescine, has two.
