Norspermidine is a polyamine of similar structure to the more common spermidine. While norspermidine has been found to occur naturally in some species of plants,^[1]^[2] bacteria,^[3] and algae,^[4] it is not known to exist in humans.

Norspermidine is being researched for use as a cancer medication.^[5]^[6]
