NCIt definition : A polyamine analogue with antiproliferative and potential anti-diarrheal activities.
Diethylhomospermine (DEHSPM) antagonizes polyamine activity via NMDA receptor glutamine
binding site, thereby modulating inotropic stasis and reducing stool volume (anti-diarrhea).
However, due to the toxic effects from metabolites of DEHSP, other tetramine derivatives
with less toxicity have been developed.;
