DescriptionValinomycin (2001-95-8) is a selective K+ ionophore capable of transporting potassium ions through lipid membranes.1 Valinomycin can induce apoptosis in cells by causing a rapid loss of mitochondrial membrane potential via potassium efflux.2,3

Usesantibiotic; LD50 (rat, po) 4 mg/kg

UsesK+-selective ionophoric cyclodepsipeptide; potassium ionophore which uncouples oxidative phosphorylation, induces apoptosis in murine thymocytes, inhibits NGF-induced neuronal differentiation and anta gonizes ET-induced vasoconstriction. Used as insecticide, nematocide.

UsesValinomycin is a hydrophobic cyclodepsipeptide with potent antitumour activity. Valinomycin is a highly selective potassium ionophore and this action leads to a diverse range of profound cell membrane effects. More recently, valinomycin has found application as a biosensor to detect to detect potassium efflux.

General DescriptionShiny crystalline solid. Used as an insecticide and nematocide. Not registered as a pesticide in the U.S.

DefinitionChEBI: Valinomycin is a twelve-membered cyclodepsipeptide composed of three repeating D-alpha-hydroxyisovaleryl-D-valyl-L-lactoyl-L-valyl units joined in sequence. An antibiotic found in several Streptomyces strains. It has a role as an antiviral agent, an antimicrobial agent, a potassium ionophore and a bacterial metabolite. It is a cyclodepsipeptide and a macrocycle.
