A major problem in the use of spermidine for the synthesis of biologically interesting compounds is the selective orthogonal protection of the three different amino groups. Our approach is based on the Fukuyama reaction, starting from putrescine and 3-amino-l-propanol and affording N8-benzyloxycarbonyl- N1-tert-butyloxycarbonyl- N4-(2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl)spermidine (5) in 5 steps in high yield.

Acylpolyamine-type spider toxins are known to be potent and specific blockers against glutamate receptors (GluRs). The present study describes the syntheses and biological activities of several fluorescent-labeled analogs related to a Madagascar Joro spider toxin NPTX-594 to analyze visually the unknown interaction between spider toxins and GluRs.
