An efficient protocol for solution- and solid-phase end-group differentiation of spermidine

Design and synthesis ofN1,N8-diacetylspermidine analogues having a linker with desired functional groups

The synthesis of newN¹,N⁸-diacetylspermidine (DiAcSpd) analogues having a linker with desired functional groups in the methylene skeleton, which have been designed by theoretical calculations, is described.

Diamine derivatives with antiparasitic activities

There are a lack of effective chemotherapies for many parasitic diseases. Polyamine pathways have been reported as potential targets for the development of new chemotherapies against parasitic diseases. In the present study, different libraries of substituted diamines totalling 78 compounds have been synthesized on solid support and their activities against malaria and leishmania parasites have been determined. Most active compounds demonstrated submicromolar activities against both organisms and their structure-activity relationships are discussed.
