Mitoguazone (Methyl-GAG) 是一种可透过血脑屏障的选择性的 S-腺苷-蛋氨酸脱羧酶 (S-adenosyl-methionine decarboxylase) 抑制剂,可破坏多胺的生物合成。Mitoguazone 是一种具有抗肿瘤活性的合成多羰基衍生物,可抑制 HIV DNA 整合到单核细胞和巨噬细胞中的细胞 DNA 中,诱导细胞凋亡 (apoptosis)。Mitoguazone 具可用于预防急性白血病,霍奇金淋巴瘤和非霍奇金淋巴瘤。
Ademetionine (S-adenosylmethionine; SAMe) is a ubiquitous metabolite present in all cells and biological fluids, and serves as a methyl donor in a multitude of different methylation reactions involving proteins, phospholipids, catecholamines and DNA.
S-Farnesyl thioacetic acid is an analog of S-farnesyl cysteine which behaves as a competitive inhibitor of isoprenylated protein methyltransferase (also known as S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferase). It can also inhibit methylation of both farnesylated and geranylgeranylated substrates.
N-acetyl-S-geranylgeranyl-L-Cysteine is a synthetic substrate for the isoprenylated protein methyltransferase (also known as S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferase). Because it is able to serve as a substrate for the methyltransferase, it effectively functions as an inhibitor of methylation of endogenous isoprenylated proteins.
CGP 40215 is a specific S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC) inhibitor that was found to inhibit the growth of Leishmania donovani promastigotes
