Currently the conjugate group "N(4)-bis(aminopropyl)spermidine" (with 2 specific protonated forms) classifies under "quarternary ammonium ion" which is IMO not useful
When we extend the graph to follow functional parent we get a path to spermidine and from there to polyamine:
However, there are should be a more direct classification. If we treat functional-parent-of as a classifying relationship, we get many false positives. And I don't think N(4)-bis(aminopropyl)spermidine should be classified as a spermidine
This chemical entity is synthesized by hyperthermophiles via the BpsA gene.

The literature suggests this should be classified as a https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4010994/
BpsA is a novel aminopropyltransferase essential for the synthesis of branched-chain polyamines
If we look at reactions involving this as a (branched-chain) polyamine
