Biological Activity

[Description]:

N1,N11-Diethylnorspermine (DENSPM) is a potent anticancer agent. N1,N11-Diethylnorspermine is a spermine analog that activates polyamine catabolism. N1,N11-Diethylnorspermine induces the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, resulting in activation of caspase 3. N1,N11-Diethylnorspermine kills glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells through induction of SSAT (spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase) coupled with H2O2 production[1][2][3].

Signaling Pathways >> Apoptosis >> Caspase

[Target]

Caspase 3


[In Vivo]

N1,N11-Diethylnorspermine (40 mg/kg, three times per day for two cycles of 6 days) clearly prevents tumor growth in mice bearing xenografts of the DU-145 cell line[1].
