    Maduramicin is a monovalent glycoside polyether ionophore antibiotic and broad-spectrum anticoccidial  As a ionophore, it forms complexes with monovalent cations, with a higher affinity for K+ than Na+.  Maduramicin is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF or DMSO but exhibits  poor water solubility.

    We also offer:

    • Maduramicin Ammonium (M047)
    Application Maduramicin can be used as a positive control in compound evaluation studies and as lead compounds for chemical optimization.
    Mechanism of Action Maduramicin can form complexes with cations  (particularly Na+, K+ and Ca2+), thereby promoting their transport across the cell membrane and increasing the osmotic pressure in the coccidia, which inhibits certain mitochondrial functions such as substrate oxidation and ATP hydrolysis, eventually leading to protozoal cell death.

    In cell culture studies, Maduramicin was found to cause accumulation of the cells at G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle, and induces cellular apoptosis. It can also downregulate protein expression of cyclin D1, cyclin-dependent kinases, and upregulate expression of CDK inhibitors.

    Spectrum It is effective against Gram-positive bacteria, and exhibits a broad spectrum of anticoccidial activity against the most frequently occurring Eimeria species, and is also active against Cryptosporidium and Treponema.
    Microbiology Applications Maduramicin is currently used to combat coccidiosis in poultry.
    Eukaryotic Cell Culture Applications Using mouse myoblasts (C2C12) and human rhabdomyosarcoma (RD and Rh30) cells as an experimental model, Maduramicin was found to inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in a dose-dependent fashion.

    A chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) was developed to detect Cryptosporidium parvum growth in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell cultures. Maduramicin was found to have selective activity against C. parvum in a dose-dependent manner. CLIA offers advantages over conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunofluorescence assay methods in that it is more sensitive and efficient. It is an efficient tool for evaluating potential anti-cryptosporidial compounds prior to testing in animal models.
