Abstract
Neurodegenerative disorders are diseases characterized by progressive degeneration of neurons and associated structures and are a major global issue growing more widespread as the global population's average age increases. Despite several investigations on their etiology, the specific cause of these disorders remains unknown. However, there are few symptomatic therapies to treat these disorders. Polyamines (PAs) (putrescine, spermidine, and spermine) are being studied for their role in neuroprotection, aging and cognitive impairment. They are ubiquitous polycations which have relatively higher concentrations in the brain and possess pleiotropic biochemical activities, including regulation of gene expression, ion channels, mitochondria Ca2+ transport, autophagy induction, programmed cell death, and many more. Their cellular content is tightly regulated, and substantial evidence indicates that their altered levels and metabolism are strongly implicated in aging, stress, cognitive dysfunction, and neurodegenerative disorders. In addition, dietary polyamine supplementation has been reported to induce anti-aging effects, anti-oxidant effects, and improve locomotor abnormalities, and cognitive dysfunction. Thus, restoring the polyamine level is considered a promising pharmacological strategy to counteract neurodegeneration. This review highlights PAs' physiological role and the molecular mechanism underpinning their proposed neuroprotective effect in aging and neurodegenerative disorders.

Synthesis and in vitro cytotoxic activity of dye-linker-macrocycle conjugates with variable linker length and components. Bioorg Chem 2023; 140:106782. [PMID: 37659149 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2023.106782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2023] [Revised: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/04/2023]
Abstract
The study investigated the structure-activity relationship of newly synthesized dye-linker-macrocycle (DLM) conjugates and the effect of each component on various biological properties, including cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, intracellular localization, interaction with DNA and photodynamic effects. The conjugates were synthesized by combining 1,8-naphthalimide and thioxanthone dyes with 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen) and 1-aza-12-crown-4 (1A12C4) using alkyl linkers of different lengths. The results revealed significant differences in biological activity among the various series of conjugates. Particularly, 1A12C4 conjugates exhibited notably higher cytotoxicity compared to cyclen conjugates. Conjugation with 1A12C4 proved to be an effective strategy for increasing cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of small-molecule conjugates. In addition, the results highlighted the critical role of linker length in modulating the biological activity of DLM conjugates. It became clear that the choice of each component (dye, macrocycle and linker) could significantly alter the biological activity of the conjugates.

Novel Green Fluorescent Polyamines to Analyze ATP13A2 and ATP13A3 Activity in the Mammalian Polyamine Transport System. Biomolecules 2023; 13:biom13020337. [PMID: 36830711 PMCID: PMC9953717 DOI: 10.3390/biom13020337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Revised: 01/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Cells acquire polyamines putrescine (PUT), spermidine (SPD) and spermine (SPM) via the complementary actions of polyamine uptake and synthesis pathways. The endosomal P5B-type ATPases ATP13A2 and ATP13A3 emerge as major determinants of mammalian polyamine uptake. Our biochemical evidence shows that fluorescently labeled polyamines are genuine substrates of ATP13A2. They can be used to measure polyamine uptake in ATP13A2- and ATP13A3-dependent cell models resembling radiolabeled polyamine uptake. We further report that ATP13A3 enables faster and stronger cellular polyamine uptake than does ATP13A2. We also compared the uptake of new green fluorescent PUT, SPD and SPM analogs using different coupling strategies (amide, triazole or isothiocyanate) and fluorophores (symmetrical BODIPY, BODIPY-FL and FITC). ATP13A2 promotes the uptake of various SPD and SPM analogs, whereas ATP13A3 mainly stimulates the uptake of PUT and SPD conjugates. However, the polyamine linker and coupling position on the fluorophore impacts the transport capacity, whereas replacing the fluorophore affects polyamine selectivity. The highest uptake in ATP13A2 or ATP13A3 cells is observed with BODIPY-FL-amide conjugated to SPD, whereas BODIPY-PUT analogs are specifically taken up via ATP13A3. We found that P5B-type ATPase isoforms transport fluorescently labeled polyamine analogs with a distinct structure-activity relationship (SAR), suggesting that isoform-specific polyamine probes can be designed.

Abstract
Unsymmetric lipophilic polyamine derivatives are considered as potential antitumor agents. Here, a series of novel symmetric lipophilic polyamines (LPAs) based on norspermine and triethylenetetramine (TETA) backbones bearing alkyl substituents with different lengths (from decyl to octadecyl) at C(1) atom of glycerol were synthesized. Performed screening of the cytotoxicity of novel compounds on the panel of tumor cell lines (MCF-7, KB-3-1, B16) and non-malignant fibroblasts hFF3 in vitro revealed a correlation between the length of the aliphatic moieties in LPAs and their toxic effects - LPAs with the shortest decyl substituent were found to exhibit the highest cytotoxicity. Furthermore, norspermine-based LPAs displayed somewhat more pronounced cytotoxicity compared with their TETA-based counterparts. Further mechanistic studies demonstrated that hit LPAs containing the norspermine backbone and tetradecyl or decyl substituents efficiently induced apoptosis in KB-3-1 cells. Moreover, decyl-bearing LPA inhibited motility and enhanced adhesiveness of murine B16 melanoma cells in vitro, showing promising antimetastatic potential. Thus, developed novel symmetric norspermine-based LPAs can be considered as promising anticancer chemotherapeutic candidates.

Abstract
Polyamines, such as putrescine, spermidine, and spermine, are physiologically important polycations, but the transporters responsible for their uptake in mammalian cells remain poorly characterized. Here, we reveal a new component of the mammalian polyamine transport system using CHO-MG cells, a widely used model to study alternative polyamine uptake routes and characterize polyamine transport inhibitors for therapy. CHO-MG cells present polyamine uptake deficiency and resistance to a toxic polyamine biosynthesis inhibitor methylglyoxal bis-(guanylhydrazone) (MGBG), but the molecular defects responsible for these cellular characteristics remain unknown. By genome sequencing of CHO-MG cells, we identified mutations in an unexplored gene, ATP13A3, and found disturbed mRNA and protein expression. ATP13A3 encodes for an orphan P5B-ATPase (ATP13A3), a P-type transport ATPase that represents a candidate polyamine transporter. Interestingly, ATP13A3 complemented the putrescine transport deficiency and MGBG resistance of CHO-MG cells, whereas its knockdown in WT cells induced a CHO-MG phenotype demonstrated as a decrease in putrescine uptake and MGBG sensitivity. Taken together, our findings identify ATP13A3, which has been previously genetically linked with pulmonary arterial hypertension, as a major component of the mammalian polyamine transport system that confers sensitivity to MGBG.

Abstract
Chocolate is an important source of free bioactive amines and amino acids which play important roles in human health. Considering the limited information on the bioaccessibility of these compounds from chocolate, the objective of this study was to characterize their profiles and bioaccessibility in 70% cocoa dark chocolate through in vitro simulation of oral, gastric and intestinal digestions. Seven amines were detected; polyamines were predominant before in vitro digestion, whereas tyramine, cadaverine and spermidine after digestion. All amines showed high bioaccessibility with slight influence of digestive enzymes. Amines increased after gastrointestinal digestion: tyramine (13-fold), tryptamine (9-fold), others (2.4-4.2-fold) and histamine appeared. All amino acids, GABA and ammonia were detected in chocolate, and their contents increased after in vitro digestion due to digestive enzymes (4.6, 2.8 and 2.1, respectively). Dark chocolate protein is a good source of tryptophan, phenylalanine + tyrosine, isoleucine, histidine, but limiting for lysine, leucine, and threonine.

Abstract
A series of kojic acid derivatives based on monoamines, diamines, and triamines have been synthesized in good yield and purity. A spermidine (spd) rescue experiment was applied against MCF-7 cells to evaluate the polyamine transporter selectivity, and in vitro antiproliferative effects were determined against Hela and DU-145 cell lines. Overall, 5b showed the best selectivity for the polyamine transporter and antiproliferative effects. Therefore, the in-silico metabolism profile and ADMET properties of the title compounds were calculated by the PreADMET server. Additionally, physicochemical properties of ligands were predicted by using the Molinspiration online property calculation server.
