Abstract

Eleven urinary polyamine levels were determined in controls (32 cases) and 43 patients with varying stages of leukemia including initial, relapse and complete remission, using gas chromatography nitrogen-phosphorus detection. Also, to indirectly evaluate the possible involvement of enzymes, precursor to product concentration ratios were compared between controls and patients with each stage of leukemia. As a result, it is confirmed that the ratio of N¹-acSpd/N⁸-acSpd could be used as a diagnostic marker and the level of N¹,N¹²-diacetylspermine could be used for determining disease stage and as a malignancy marker for leukemia. An altered metabolic pathway related to leukemia is also proposed in which N¹,N¹²-diacetylspermine can be produced directly from spermine and N¹,N¹²-diacetylspermine is a major source of N¹-acetylspermidine.
