Synthesis of 2,11-bis(methylidene)spermine, a new inhibitor of spermine oxidase
Earlier unknown 1,12-diamino-2,11-bis(methylidene)-4,9-diazadodecane, which may be considered as an enzyme-activated inhibitor of spermine oxidase, was synthesized in 6 steps starting from 2-chloromethyl-3-chl...

Methylated analogs of spermine and spermidine as tools to investigate cellular functions of polyamines and enzymes of their metabolism
Biogenic amines spermine (Spm) and spermidine (Spd) are essential for cell growth. Polyamine analogs are widely used to investigate the enzymes of polyamine metabolism and the functions of spermine and spermid...

New Charge-Deficient Agmatine Analogues
N,N′-Di-Boc-N″-triflylguanidine was demonstrated to be an efficient guanidinylation reagent for O-substituted hydroxylamines. N-(3-Aminooxypropyl)- and N-(3-aminopropoxy)guanidines, previously unknown isosteric ...

A Charge-Deficient Analogue of Spermine with Chelating Properties
1,12-Diamino-3,6,9-triazadodecane, a new isosteric and charge-deficient analogue of spermine, is synthesized. Unlike spermine, the new analogue is an excellent chelator of Cu2+ ions. Possible applications of this...

New syntheses of α-methyl- and α,α′-dimethylspermine
α-Methylspermine and α,α′-dimethylspermine were synthesized in high overall yields starting from N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-3-aminobutanol in order to study polyamine biochemistry in vitro and in vivo.

A New Synthesis of α-Methylspermidine
A five-step synthesis of α-methylspermidine (1,8-diamino-5-azanonane), the first polyamine analogue preventing pathological consequences of spermidine depletion in transgenic rats overproducing spermine/spermi...
