Detailed Description
CAS Number: 55721-31-8
Molecular Formula: C42H69NaO11
Molecular Weight: 772.98 (anhydrous basis)
Mechanism of Action: Salinomycin interacts with the Gram-positive cell membrane which decreases control of ion permeability. This effect allows ions (K+, Na+, Ca+, Mg2+) to accumulate inside the cell to toxic levels.
Storage Conditions: 2-8°C
Tariff Code: 2941.90.1050
Salinomycin Sodium (syn: Coxistal, Coxistac) is the sodium salt of Salinomycin, a carboxylic polyether ionophore isolated from Streptomyces albus that has been widely used as an agricultural antibiotic to prevent coccidiosis in poultry. Salinomycin was first isolated in 1974 by the research division of Kaken Chemical Co. in Tokyo Japan.
Salinomycin Sodium can affect the cell membrane permeability by increasing cation movement across cell membranes through exchange-diffusion, resulting in altered gradients due to a lack of control of ion permeability. This allows ions (K+, Na+, Ca+, Mg2+) to accumulate inside the cell, reaching toxic levels. Salinomycin is effective against Gram-positive bacteria including mycobacteria, some filamentous fungi, and coccidia.
Salinomycin has been shown to induce apoptosis in a variety of cancer cell lines and to inhibit multidrug resistance protein 1.
Salinomycin Sodium is freely soluble in acetone, soluble in ethanol, and insoluble in water.
