The paper reports the preparation and the chromatographic separation of new deaminated analogs of S-adenosyl(5')-3-methylthiopropylamine, i.e. S-adenosyl(5')-3-methylthiopropanol and S-inosyl(5')(-3-methylthiopropanol. These compounds can be used as specific inhibitors of polyamine biosynthesis. It is also reported the characterization of new sulfonium compounds by U.V. spectrophotometry, thin layer chromatography, high voltage electrophoresis, hydrolysis to known fragments.
