Synthesis of (3R,10R)- and (3S,10S)-Diastereomers of 3,10-Dimethylspermine
A simple and practical 10-step synthesis is reported for previously unknown diastereomers of C‑methylated spermine (Spm) analogue, 1,12-diamino-3,10-dimethyl-4,9-diazadodecane (3,10-Me2Spm), starting from commerc...

Hydroxylamine derivatives for regulation of spermine and spermidine metabolism
The biogenic polyamines spermine, spermidine, and their precursor putrescine are present in micro-to-millimolar concentrations in all cell types and are vitally important for their normal growth. High intracel...

Novel metabolically stable and functionally active mimetic of spermidine
Earlier unknown 1,8-diamino-3-methyl-4-azanonane (γ-MeSpd) was synthesized. The analogue was a substrate of neither spermine/spermidine N 1-acetyltransferase nor spermine synthase, but was...

Oxidative stress and inflammation in the pathogenesis of activated polyamine catabolism-induced acute pancreatitis
The markers of oxidative stress and inflammation were studied in acute pancreatitis in transgenic rats exhibiting activated polyamine catabolism. In addition, the effect of bismethylspermine (Me2Spm) pretreatment...
