General description

Bis(hexamethylene)triamine (Bis-HEA, BHMT, BHMTA) is an aliphatic polyamine. It is a spermidine analog and has been reported to lack the enhancing effect on mitochondrial Ca(2+) accumulation but shows inhibitory effect on the Ca(2+) and Pi-induced mitochondrial permeability transition. Its ability in inhibiting shale swelling and dispersion in water-based drilling fluid has been investigated.

The aliphatic polyamine bis(hexamethylene)triamine, a spermidine analogue, was found to lack the enhancing effect on mitochondrial Ca(2+) accumulation which is typical for the natural polyamines, spermidine and spermine. However, like spermine and spermidine, this compound had a significant inhibitory effect

N,N'-Hexamethylenebisacetamide (HMBA) induces transformed cells to differentiate, accompanied by suppression of oncogenicity. Clinical trials have shown that HMBA can cause positive therapeutic responses in some cancer patients, but clinical efficacy may be limited, in part, by dose-related toxicity. Potential improvements
