Abstract
Methods for regulating cation transport across cellular membranes possessing cation channels are provided. The cell membrane possessing a specific ion channel is exposed to a non-aromatic polyamine compound having a lysine- or arginine-based moiety (or a guanidine moiety) coupled to a straight chain polyamine. These polyamines as well as a method for regulating NMDA through a spermidine-like effect on NMDA receptors by exposing a cell membrane to selected polyamines are also provided.
