Synthesis of spermidine and norspermidine dimers as high affinity polyamine transport inhibitors

Abstract

A series of novel spermidine and sym-norspermidine dimers was synthesized by crosslinking the polyamine backbones via alkylation of their secondary amino groups to butyl, trans-2-butenyl, 2-butynyl or p-xylyl bridges. The resulting hexamines behaved as high-affinity antagonists of polyamine uptake, with a relative potency that was dependent on the geometry of the linker structure.
