Abstract

A new polyamine has been extracted from an extreme thermophile, Thermus thermophilus, and its chemical structure was determined as 1,12-diamino-4,8-diazadodecane, NH2(CH2)3NH(CH2)3NH(CH2)4NH2, based on its proton NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectra. A trivial name "thermospermine" is proposed for the new compound.
