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 />
