Is there a better source around for this than Everything2? That's another site where anybody can insert anything, like this one. *Dan T.* 20:06, 22 September 2007 (UTC) reply

It's in the eye of the beholder, isn't it? A lot of insects exhibit tropic behavior to it - i.e., they fly or crawl towards a source of these compounds, which indeed are foul or repellent to mammals.

Are we building a mammal-centric encyclopedia? 66.215.51.164 ( talk) 18:13, 1 June 2010 (UTC) reply

Yes, Wikipedia is mammal-centric. More specifically, we expect only humans, and not insects, to read it. ChemNerd ( talk) 19:25, 1 June 2010 (UTC) reply

In rats it had an acute oral toxicity of more than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

One of the following two figures is wrong:

"with no-observed-adverse-effect level of 2000 ppm (180 mg/kg body weight/day)." 

As 2000 ppm is toxic, I guess the no-observed-adverse-effect level is 180 mg/kg, which is 180 ppm. Can somebody who has specific knowledge or access to respective papers check this figure? See also the putrescine article, which has the same problem. Mregelsberger ( talk) 08:20, 21 July 2017 (UTC) reply

In the following sentence it says; "Cadaverine is a foul-smelling diamine compound produced by the putrefaction of animal tissue". However, given that topics such as the detecting of Cadaverine is also treated regarding human bodies in crime investigations, I wonder if the above quoted line is correct?

An example of where the releasing of Cadaverine from human bodies is treated: https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/pressroom/newsreleases/2009/august/new-insights-into-the-smell-of-death.html

Saturated amines are colorless. They are soluble in many solvents. Not so easy to find sources for this elementary info but I will try.-- Smokefoot ( talk) 13:18, 7 November 2021 (UTC) reply
