Notes:
Polyamines such as spermidine or spermine and their derivatives-especially those of hydroxycinnamic acids-are well known natural products isolated from human, animals, plants and microorganisms. Although the history of the polyamines already started in 1678, much is still to be discovered: their influence in different processes (cell growth, carcinogenesis, neurotransmission or in plants: flowering, fruit-ripening, plant-senescence…) could be demonstrated, bu the mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Polyamine derivatives are involved in a growing number of research fields, because they find potential use as biopesticides, in cancer therapy, or for the treatment of central nervous system disorders.
