S-Adenosylmethionine (AdoMet or SAM) plays a pivotal role as a methyl donor in a myriad of biological and biochemical events. Although it has been claimed that AdoMet itself has therapeutic benefits, it remains to be established whether it can be tak

The ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) inhibitor dl -α-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) has emerged as a new treatment for West African sleeping sickness but is less effective against East African sleeping sickness. We examined uncloned clinical isolates o

A series of novel tetraamines of the general formula RNH(CH2)xNH(CH2)yNH(CH2)xNHR was synthesized and examined for activity against growth of Plasmodium falciparum in vitro. Within the series, dibenzyl analogues (R = benzyl) were found to be the most

The polyamine biosynthetic pathway has attracted much interest as a therapeutic target. Many studies have shown the potential value of inhibitors of the first enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway, ornithine decarboxylase, which forms putrescine. In ord

Adherence of Plasmodium falciparum-intected erythrocytes (IE) to the venular endothelium in brain and other organs is characteristic of cerebral malaria, an often fatal complication in infected individuals. It has been shown that cytoadherence may be

In pea seedlings, arginine decarboxylase (ADC) activity was found in the cotyledons, roots and epicotyls. At the detectability threshold of 0.08 pkat g−1 fresh wt, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity was found only in the roots, while lysine dec

Inhibition of arginine decarboxylase activity by ca 60–90% in leaves of intact oat seedlings and of Heliotropium indicum plants, treated with difluoromethylarginine alone or together with difluoromethylornithine for ca 13 days, had little effect on

Bis(benzyl)polyamine analogues (e.g. NN′-bis(3-[(phenylmethyl)amino]propyl)-1,8-diamino-octane [C6H5CH2NH-(CH2)3NH(CH2)8NH(CH2)3NHCH2C6H5]) have previously been shown to regulate polyamine biosynthesis and growth of rat hepatoma (HTC) cells. Satura

It was recently demonstrated that a bis(benzyl)polyamine analog (MDL 27695; N,N'-bis(3-[(phenylmethyl)amino]propyl)-1,7-diaminoheptane) possessed potent antimalarial activity in vitro and in vivo (A. J. Bitonti, J. A. Dumont, T. L. Bush, M. L. Edward
