Abstract

A basis set of polyamine analogues was designed and synthesized. These compounds were used to initiate a systematic investigation of the role of chain length, terminal nitrogen alkyl group size, and symmetry of the methylene backbone in the antineoplastic properties of polyamine analogues. New synthetic methods predicated on our earlier polyamine fragment synthesis are described for accessing the tetraamines of interest. An unsymmetrically ...
