    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...

    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...
