MDL 72527is an inhibitor of polyamine oxidase (spermine oxidase SMO). It blocks the production of H2O2 and increases the cells survival. Polyamine catabolism is one of the major causes of the ROS production of prostate cells in general and androgen-induced enhancement of ROS in androgen-dependent CaP cells in particular. Reports suggest that androgen stimulation of prostate cancer results in accumulation of ROS, which lead to progression of cancer, such progression is control by MDL 72527.

Reduction of cellular polyamine pools results in inhibition of cell proliferation and sometimes in induction of cell death. Reduction of cellular polyamine pools can be achieved by several strategies involving all the mechanisms of polyamine homoeostasis, i.e. biosynthesis, catabolism and

We showed previously that inhibition of polyamine catabolism with the polyamine oxidase inhibitor MDL 72527 (MDL) potentiates the apoptotic effects of apple procyanidins (Pcy) in SW620 cells. Here we report that Pcy caused an activation of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway

7beta-OHsitosterol and 7beta-OHcholesterol are natural compounds of plant and animal cells with high structural similarity. Recently it was reported that both compounds induced apoptosis on human colon cancer cells by targeting different signalling pathways. Our study aimed at comparing their

Polyamine oxidase is a FAD-dependent amine oxidase, which is constitutively expressed in nearly all tissues of the vertebrate organism. In 1985, N1,N4-bis(2,3-butadienyl)-1,4-butanediamine (MDL 72527) was designed as a selective enzyme-activated irreversible inhibitor of polyamine oxidase (EC 1.5.3.11). It inactivates, at

In situ formation of cytotoxic metabolites by an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is a recent approach in cancer chemotherapy. We demonstrate that multidrug resistant human melanoma cells (M14 ADR) are more sensitive than the corresponding wild type cells (M14 WT) to hydrogen
