The biosynthesis of the newly isolated polyamine, sym-homospermidine (NH(2)-[CH(2)](4)-NH-[CH(2)](4) -NH(2)), was studied by using radioactive amino acids. Arginine was the most effective precursor, being about 10 times as active as ornithine. Unlabelled agmatine and putrescine markedly inhibited the incorporation of [(14)C]arginine into homospermidine. Similarly the incorporation of ornithine was inhibited by unlabelled arginine and putrescine. gamma-Aminobutyraldehyde, the oxidation product of putrescine, was considered to be one of the intermediates in the biosynthesis of homospermidine. The biosynthesis may involve a Schiff-base formation of putrescine with gamma-aminobutyraldehyde and subsequent reduction. A limited synthesis of spermidine also takes place under these conditions.
