Polyamine biosynthesis inhibitor

 

Functions

Mitoguazone is a potent and reversible inhibitor of S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (SAMD or AdoMetDC).  SAMD is a component of the polyamine-biosynthetic pathway, thus inhibition may lead to changes in polyamine metabolism. Mitoguazone has also been shown to inhibit diamine oxidase and induce spermidine/spermine N-acetyltransferase. Mitoguazone has been looked at as a potential anti-cancer treatment because of it’s ability to inhibit polyamine synthesis.

 

Application Procedures

First dissolved in Water (greater than 25 mg/ml), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in water may be stored at -20°C for up to 1 month.
