N'-(Arylalkyl)homospermidines (Ic-1f) and terminally piperazine-substituted homospermidine conjugates (2a-2e) were synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxicity in mouse leukemia L 1210, alpha-difluorometliylornithine (DFMO)-treated L 12 10, melanoma B 16, spermidine (SPD)-treated B 16, and HeLa cell lines. Results demonstrated that homospermidine was a more effective vector than piperazine-substituted homospermidine in ferrying diverse arenes into cells via the polyamine transporter. The leading compound, 9-anthracenemethyl-homospermidine (1a), was shown to induce apoptosis in B16 cells and IL-3 dependent FL5.12A proB cells. The novel conjugate 4-biphenylmethyl-homospermidine (1e) could also induce apoptosis. However, it exhibited different effect on the cell cycle of B16 cells compared to la. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
