Metabolic Stability of α-Methylated Polyamine Derivatives and Their Use as Substitutes for the Natural Polyamines

Abstract: Metabolically stable polyamine derivatives may serve as useful surrogates for the natural polyamines in studies aimed to elucidate the functions of individual polyamines. Here we studied the metabolic stability of ␣-methylspermidine, ␣-methylspermine, and bis-␣-methylspermine, which all have been reported to fulfill many of the putative physiological functions of the natural polyamines. In vivo studies were performed with the transgenic rats overexpressing spermidine/spermine N 1 -acetyltransferase. ␣-Methylsp… Show more

“…Production is tightly regulated by the presence of xenognostic quinines [9], which may be due to a reduction in the expression of a ROS-producing catalyst. Likely candidates for this catalyst in plants include xanthine oxidases [25], peroxidases [26], lipoxygenases [27], polyamine oxidases [28], mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenases [29], oxalate oxidases [30], and NADPH oxidases [31]- [33]. The SSH library identified two peroxidases (13 and 15) and one NADPH oxidase (10) down regulated by DMBQ exposure during pre-commitment (0.5 h, stages I) and transition (2 -6 h, stage II).…”

“…Me 2 Spm is a metabolically stable analog of spermine being capable to fulfill most of the putative functions of natural spermine. Moreover, it is resistant toward serum amine oxidase and thus may be used without aminoguanidine supplement (Lakanen et al 1992;Yang et al 1995;Järvinen et al 2005).…”

“…Syntheses of (R)-AcMeSpd, (S)-AcMeSpd, both isomers of MeSpm, and all diastereomers of Me 2 Spm were performed using the same (R)-and (S)-N 1 -(o-nitrophenylsulfonyl)-N 3 -(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-1,3-diaminobutane as the key chiral intermediates, which, after alkylation with appropriate halides and removal of the protecting groups, afforded the target isomers of ␣-methylated analogs. Both racemic ␣-methylated polyamine analogs and their isomers showed purity of Ͼ99.5% according to 1 H/ 13 C NMR data and HPLC analysis. A preformed adduct of spermine with PL (PLϭSpm) was prepared as described in Ref.…”

“…The interaction of racemic MeSpd with recombinant human PAO (hPAO) in the presence of benzaldehyde (BA), which allows the enzyme to oxidize nonacetylated Spd, led to the formation of putrescine (13). This prompted us to study the effect of aldehydes on this reaction using recently synthesized isomers of MeSpd and ␣-methylspermine (MeSpm) as well as the three diastereomers of Me 2 Spm (Fig.…”
