Advanced ScienceDecreased plasma spermine levels are associated with kidney dysfunction. However, the role of spermine in kidney disease remains largely unknown. Herein, it is demonstrated that spermine oxidase (SMOX), a key enzyme governing polyamine metabolism, is ...

Antimycotic Effect of Spermine.
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1958 Summary1) Spermine inhibited growth of several species of yeasts, Saccharomyces and Debaryomyces species being the most sensitive. The antimycotic effect of spermine was more pronounced at an alkaline pH and was antagonized by inorganic salts. The adsorption of spermine by yeast cells was significantly smaller than by Staph. aureus.

Genetic and Phenotypic Features of the Five Known Polyaminopathies: A Critical Narrative Review
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Polyaminopathies are a recently described family of rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorders. Polyaminopathies disrupt the biosynthesis of the primary polyamines: putrescine, spermidine, and spermine. Snyder–Robinson syndrome results from hemizygous loss‐of‐function variants in the spermine synthase (SMS) gene, resulting in decreased or ...

Spermine and L-name pretreatment effects on polyamine and nitric oxide metabolism in rat brain during seizures [PDF]
Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2007 In the CNS polyamines can exert opposite effects, depending on the concentration and conditions in the cell. Protective or neurotoxic polyamine effects were documented during seizures and repeated CNS excitation.

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Membranaktive Peptide (MAPs) wie zellpenetrierende Peptide (CPPs) und antimikrobielle Peptide (AMPs) können Lipidmembranen durchdringen und Membranporen bilden. Die Kombination aus einem Farbstoff‐Efflux‐Assay und einem supramolekularen Tandem‐Membran‐Assay in einem Zweikanalformat ermöglicht eine fortgeschrittene mechanistische Charakterisierung und ...

Nephrotoxic Action of Spermine
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1952 ConclusionsSpermine administered parenterally is highly active in producing renal injury in mice, rats, and rabbits. This property was not observed for spermidine, putrescine, or cadaverine.

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.Membrane‐active peptides (MAPs) such as cell‐penetrating peptides (CPPs) and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) can translocate across lipid membranes and create membrane pores. The combination of a dye efflux and a supramolecular tandem membrane assay in a dual‐channel format enables an advanced mechanistic characterization and an exploration of the ...

Difluoromethylornithine rebalances aberrant polyamine ratios in Snyder–Robinson syndrome
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2023 Snyder–Robinson syndrome (SRS) results from mutations in spermine synthase (SMS), which converts the polyamine spermidine into spermine. Affecting primarily males, common manifestations of SRS include intellectual disability, osteoporosis, hypotonia, and

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.Objective Gout caused by the formation of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals and calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) deposition disease are two major types of microcrystalline pathologies in adults. They are responsible for recurrent flares that rely on interleukin (IL) 1β via activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome.
