Application
Spermine, a polycationic biogenic polyamine derived from spermidine, may be used in a wide variety of biological applications as a supplement or regulatory agent.Used as co-matrix with DHB for MALDI-MS of sialylated glycans in negative ion mode.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Mixed NMDA agonist/antagonist at the polyamine site. Plays a role in cellular proliferation and differentiation; inhibits neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS).
Mixed NMDA glutamate receptor agonist/antagonist at the polyamine site. Neuroprotective effects have been observed at high concentrations (1 mM), while neurotoxicity is observed at lower concentrations. It enhances agonist effectiveness at the strychnine-insensitive glycine site. Plays a role in cellular proliferation and differentiation; inhibits neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS).

The naturally occurring polyamines, spermidine, spermine, and their precursor putrescine, play indispensible roles in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, from basic DNA synthesis to regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation.

Negative-ion matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectra of sialyated glycoconjugates were acquired employing 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) in conjunction with spermine as a co-matrix. The addition of spermine to DHB permitted an improved crystal formation as well as a higher analyte solubility.

Dextran-spermine cationic polysaccharide was prepared by means of reductive amination between oxidized dextran and the natural oligoamine spermine. The formed Schiff-base imine-based conjugate was reduced with borohydride to obtain the stable amine-based conjugate. The transfection efficiency of the synthetic dextran-spermine

In rat models of drug relapse and craving, cue-induced cocaine seeking progressively increases after withdrawal from the drug. This 'incubation of cocaine craving' is partially mediated by time-dependent adaptations at glutamatergic synapses in nucleus accumbens (NAc). However, the circuit-level adaptations
