chemotherapy <strong>and</strong> lead to a very large number <strong>of</strong><br />
structural analogues <strong>and</strong> homologs with the general<br />
formula: R1-NH-(CH2)a-NH-(CH2)b-NH-(CH2)-NH-<br />
R2, where R1 <strong>and</strong> R2 are alkyl residues, <strong>and</strong> a <strong>and</strong> b is<br />
any integer number. In general, polyamine analogues<br />
competitively use the same transport system with PA<br />
to incorporate cells, interferes with PA metabolism,<br />
lacks the necessary physiological functions <strong>of</strong> PA in<br />
normal cellular functions, but suppress ODC <strong>and</strong><br />
AdoMetDC activities <strong>and</strong> induce SSAT activities,<br />
leads to rapid depletion <strong>of</strong> PA levels (Bergeron et al.,<br />
1997).<br />
Starting in mid 1980s efforts to synthesize <strong>and</strong><br />
identify specific PA inhibitors have began in several<br />
academic <strong>and</strong> industrial laboratories. The structural<br />
characteristics <strong>of</strong> these PA transport inhibitors (i.e.<br />
compounds which deter or compete with natural PA<br />
for transport) have been analyzed by QSAR <strong>and</strong> by<br />
COMFA (comparative molecular field analysis) as<br />
well as simple charge to chain length correlation<br />
produced a preliminary theoretical predictive model<br />
to design new analogues (Xia et al., 1997; Li et al.,<br />
1997; Burns et al., 2001).<br />
