Polyamines as Targets for Therapeutic Intervention

TL;DR: Protocols minimizing uptake of exogenous polyamines via the polyamine-transport system will probably be needed for the full potential of inhibitors of ornithine decarboxylase to be realized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting polyamine metabolism and function in cancer and other hyperproliferative diseases

TL;DR: The polyamines spermidine and spermine and their diamine precursor putrescine are naturally occurring, polycationic alkylamines that are essential for eukaryotic cell growth and are frequently dysregulated in cancer and other hyperproliferative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ornithine decarboxylase is important in intestinal mucosal maturation and recovery from injury in rats.

TL;DR: Increased ornithine decarboxylase activity, with the resultant increase in polyamine content, may play an essential role in intestinal mucosal maturation and regeneration in the rat.
