, p. 443 - 446 (1998)
Polyamine amides are useful in gene delivery as synthetic (non-viral) vectors or mimics of polycationic histones. The application of a homologation strategy, based upon reductive alkylation, allows unsymmetrical polyamine amides to be prepared in good yie

We report the synthesis of novel polyamine-modified near-infrared (NIR) probes, which show excellent water-solubility and good optical properties. One probe was taken up efficiently by living cancer cell lines whereas no staining of the non-cancer cells was observed.

Tethering cationic ligands to oligonucleotides results in zwitterionic molecules with often improved target affinity and better cell membrane permeation. Due to the ideal distance between cationic groups, polyamines are perfect counter ions for oligonucleotides. Using an easy and versatile procedure for attaching ligands to the 2′-position, polyamines were conjugated to distinct terminal and internal positions of oligonucleotides. With polyamines attached to terminal nucleosides, the affinity to complementary DNA or RNA strands increased with growing number of cationic amines. Tethering polyamines to an internal nucleoside of wild type DNA oligonucleotides resulted in a considerable decrease in duplex stability, but in phosphorothioates, no significant decrease was detected. Conjugates exhibited progressively higher target downregulation ability with increasing polyamine chain length in a human melanoma cell culture assay.

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) play a key role in the pathogenesis of septic shock, a major cause of mortality in the critically ill patient. We had previously shown that monoacylated polyamine compounds specifically bind to and neutralize the activity of LPS with high in vitro potency and afford complete protection in a murine model of endotoxic shock. Fatty acid amides of polyamines may be rapidly cleared from systemic circulation due to their susceptibility to nonspecific serum amidases and, thus, would be predicted to have a short duration of action. In a systematic effort to increase the likelihood of better bioavailability properties together with structural modifications that may result in gains in activity, we now report structure-activity relationships pertaining to endotoxin-binding and -neutralizing activities of homologated polyamine sulfonamides.

Polyamines and their use as antibacterial and sensitizing agents

Page/Page column 10, (2010/11/28)
Polyamines with varying chain-lengths were evaluated for antimicrobial activity in order to test the hypothesis that these bis-cationic amphipathic compounds may also bind to and permeabilize intact Gram negative bacterial membranes. The compounds were found to possess significant antimicrobial activity and mediated via permeabilization of bacterial membranes. Homologated spermine, bis-acylated with C8 or C9 chains was found to profoundly sensitize E. coli to hydrophobic antibiotics such as rifampicin.

Polyamines are believed to be potent vectors for the selective delivery of chemotherapeutic agents into cancer cells. In this paper, we report the effect of spermine conjugation on the cytotoxic and transport properties of acridine. Six derivatives, composed of a spermine chain attached at its N1 position to an acridine via an aliphatic chain, were synthesized. The aliphatic linker, comprised of 3-5 methylene units, was connected to the position-9 of the heterocycle through either an amide (amidoacridines 8-10) or an amine (aminoacridines 11-13) linkage. Independently of their architecture, all ligands showed a high affinity for DNA binding but a limited DNA sequence selectivity. In a whole cell assay with L1210 and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, the aminoacridines (IC50 values around 2 μM) were more potent than the amidoacridines (IC50 values between 20 and 40 μM). This was related to a less efficient transport for the latter. As determined from competitive uptake studies with [14C] spermidine, all conjugates had a high affinity for the polyamine transport system (PTS). However, on the basis of competitive studies with an excess of spermidine and on the differential effect on cell growth and accumulation in CHO and in the mutant PTS deficient CHO-MG cells, the accumulation of the conjugates through the PTS was found to be poor but still more efficient for the aminoacridines. α-Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), an inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, which induces an up-regulation of the activity of the PTS, enhanced accumulation of all acridine conjugates through the PTS and had a synergistic effect on the potency of the acridine conjugates to inhibit cell growth. Despite their high affinity for the PTS, the low amount of derivatives transiting through the PTS is likely to be related to their ability to repress rapidly and efficiently the activity of the PTS and, consequently, to inhibit their own uptake via this system.
