The availability of fully sequenced bacterial genomes has revealed that many species known to synthesize the polyamine spermidine lack the spermidine biosynthetic enzymes S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase and spermidine synthase. We found that such speci

Dimeric norspermidine and spermidine derivatives are strong competitive inhibitors of polyamine transport. A xylyl tether was used for the dimerization of various triamines and spermine via a secondary amino group, and of putrescine via an ether or an amino group. Dimerization of putrescine moieties potentiates their ability to compete against spermidine transport to a much greater extent than for triamine dimers.

Ten kinds of linear pentaamines with various combinations of 3 or 4 methylene chain intervals were synthesized.The methods were tentatively classified into two, leading to symmetrical and unsymmetrical pentaamines, all of which were prepared by succesive alkylation of secondary amino derivatives of benzylamine with N-(3-bromopropyl or 4-bromobutyl)phthalimide in the presence of KF-Celite, coupled with the purification of the phthaloyl compounds by silica gel column chromatography.Protecting benzyl and phthaloyl groups were removed by usual methods.The carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (13C-NMR) spectra ot the ten pentaamines were recorded in D2O as fully protonated forms, and a comparative analysis of their spectra allowed the complete assignment of all 13C chemical shifts.Keywords-polyamine; pentaamine; benzylamine; N-(3-bromopropyl)phthalimide; N-(4-bromobutyl)phthalimide; alkylation; potassium fluoride-Celite; 13C-NMR spectrum
