Three to ten of 35 kinds of biogenic polyamines were distributed in multicellular animals (kingdom Animalia or Metazoa) consisting of 34 phyla. Cellular polyamines acid- extracted from whole animal and/or their organs were quantitatively analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and high-performance gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPGC-MS) and were calculated as μmol/g wet weight of animal samples. To consider the phylogenetic and taxonomic significance of cellular polyamine distributions in the evolution of invertebrates and vertebrates, we have comparatively analyzed polyamines of approximately 121 species of invertebrates and 23 species of vertebrates during 1978-2007 in Gunma University and 2008-2023 in Maebashi Institute of Technology and reported their polyamine distribution profiles in our 21 original articles. Distribution profiles of 23 linear polyamines; diaminopropane, putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine, norspermidine, homospermidine, aminopropylcadaverine, spermine, norspermine, thermospermine, aminopropylhomospermidine, homospermine, canavalmine, aminopentylnorspermidine, bis(aminopropyl)cadaverine, caldopentamine, homocaldopentamine, thermopentamine, aminopropylcanavalmine, caldohexamine, thermohexamine, and two acetylpolyamines were identified in the 11 major animal phyla; Porifera, Ctenophora, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Rotifera, Mollusca, Annelida, Nematoda, Arthropoda, Echinodermata and Chordata (subphyla Cephalochordata, Tunicata and Vertebrata).
