Highlights
In 1856, Dessaignes’ pointed out the occurrence of trimethylamine in urine, separating from 65 liters, 17 grams of the platinum double salt, equal to 3.7 grams of trimethylamine
Whether trimethylamine is to be considered a preformed constituent of urine or a decomposition product
Filippo de Filippi[2] does not attempt to solve this question, but merely carries out the determination of trimethylamine in urine by liberating the alkylamines by distillation with sodium hydrate and subsequent isolation of t,he tertiary organic base, coming to the conclusion that trimethylamine is a normal product of metabolism
Summary
