The uptake and release of the natural polyamines putrescine, spermidine and spermine by
mammalian cells are integral parts of the systems that regulate the intracellular …

The term “polqamines” will be used in the following to designate putrescine(1,
4_butanediamine), spermidine [N-(3-aminopropyl)-I, 4-butane-diamine] and spermine[N, N' …

The present review reports on the main characteristics and properties of plants cultivated
following organic and conventional procedures, in the attempt to clarify give a deeper insight …

Dietary polyamines contribute to the total body polyamine pool. As polyamines are important
in health and disease, it is of interest to obtain information on the food polyamine content …

When STIEVE published his work on male reproductive organs in this handbook in 1930, a
definitive treatment of the morphology of the accessory sex glands seemed accomplished …

Owing to their role in growth-related processes the natural polyamines (PAs), putrescine
(Put), spermidine (Spd) and spermine (Spm) were identified about 30 years ago as potential …

An approach to synthesise three different boronated DNA-interacting compounds (11, 15 &
19) is described. Compound 11 is containing both an acridine system and a spermidine …

An efficient five-step synthetic method was developed to access a series of spermine
derivatives containing appended acridine, anthracene, and 7-chloroquinoline motifs. The …

Cancer cells have high-affinity polyamine uptake systems with a low stringency for structural
features. Putrescine, spermidine, and spermine have, therefore, been considered as …

A. INTRODUCTION In animal and bacterial systems it has been known for many years that
exogenous polyamines are transported and accumulated by cells. In particular, it has been …
