title: 4',6-Diamidino 2-phenylindole is a new reversible inhibitor of diamine oxidase and S-adenosyl-L-methionine decarboxylase from mammalian tissues.
abstract: 1. 4',6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole is a powerful reversible inhibitor of porcine kidney diamine oxidase and partially purified rabbit liver S-adenosyl-L-methionine decarboxylase. 2. This diamidine has shown to be a competitive inhibitor of porcine kidney diamine oxidase with a Ki value of 13 microM. 3. A similar inhibitory pattern has been found on rat liver S-adenosyl-L-methionine decarboxylase with an estimated Ki of 21 microM.
