  • Stanic, I.; Facchini, A.; Borzi, R.; Stefanelli, C.; Flamigni, F.
    The polyamine analogue N1,N11-diethylnorspermine can induce chondrocyte apoptosis independently of its ability to alter metabolism and levels of natural polyamines (2009), J. Cell. Physiol., 219, 109-116.

Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
N1,N11-diethylnorspermine polyamine analogue with clinical relevance as an experimental anticancer agent. Treatment of human C-28/I2 chondrocytes rapidly induces spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase and spermine oxidase activities, and down-regulates ornithine decarboxylase. The treatment does not provoke cell death and caspase activation when given alone for 24 h, but causes a caspase-3 and -9 dependent apoptosis in chondrocytes further exposed to cycloheximide. The simultaneous addition of N1,N11-diethylnorspermine and cycloheximide rapidly increases caspase activity in C-28/I2 cells in the absence of spermidine/spermineN1-acetyltransferase and spermine oxidase induction or significant reduction of polyamine levels. Caspase activation induced by N1,N11-diethylnorspermine plus cycloheximide is not prevented by a N1-acetylpolyamine oxidase inhibitor Homo sapiens
