Descripción

General description

Spermine is a polyamine, which functions as a free radical scavenger. It modulates gene expression, chromatin stabilization and prevents DNA damage. Spermine inhibits endonuclease-mediated DNA fragmentation.

Application

Spermine has been used:

• as an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP₃R)/glucose-regulated protein 75 (Grp75)/voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1)/mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) agonist to activate MCU in mouse podocytes
• in the biolistic transfection of filarial parasites
• for the production of adeno-associated virus (AAV)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mixed NMDA glutamate receptor agonist/antagonist at the polyamine site. Neuroprotective effects have been observed at high concentrations (1 mM), while neurotoxicity is observed at lower concentrations. It enhances agonist effectiveness at the strychnine-insensitive glycine site. Plays a role in cellular proliferation and differentiation; inhibits neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS).
