title: Formulation of N-acetylputrescine and N1-acetylspermidine in cultured human lymphocytes.
abstract: N-Acetylputrescine and N1-acetylspermidine were synthesized from putrescine in cultured human lymphocytes. They were identified by paper chromatography and t.l.c. Acetylputrescine was also identified by mass spectrometry. N-Acetylputrescine and N1-acetylspermidine were formed in untreated cells and in lectin-transformed cells.
