Biogenic amines spermine and spermidine are essential factors of cellular growth. Polyamine analogues are widely used to investigate and to regulate the enzymes of polyamine metabolism and functions of spermine and spermidine in vitro and in vivo. Recently, it was demonstrated that alpha-methylated derivatives of spermine and spermidine are capable to fulfill key cellular functions of polyamines, moreover in some cases of (R)- and (S)-isomers are actually different. Using these alpha-methylated spermine and spermidine analogues it turned possible to prevent the development of acute pancreatitis of SSAT-transgenic rats and to demostrate for the first time that polyamine oxidase, spermine oxidase and deoxyhypusine synthase have dormant stereospecificity. An original approach to regulate the stereospecificity of polyamine oxidase was suggested. It was also demonstrated that the depletion of the intracellular polyamine pool has both hypusine-related consequences and also the consequences unrelated to the posttranslational modification of eukaryotic initiation translation factor eIF5A. Possible applications of a new family of C-methylated polyamine analogues for the investigation and regulation of polyamine metabolism in vitro and in vivo are discussed.
