解説
バリノマイシン,放線菌から得られる抗生物質の一種で,[ (D-バリン)-(L-乳酸)-(L-バリン)-(D-α-ヒドロキシイソ吉草酸) ]3 という 12個の単位が環状につながっている。抗生物質としてはグラム陽性菌に有効である。高等生物に作用させると細胞膜やミトコンドリア膜のカリウム透過性を選択的に高めるので,イオン輸送などにおける研究手段としてしばしば用いられる。バリノマイシンの輪が膜に入り込んでチャンネルを形成し,そこを,大きさの合致するカリウムイオンが通り抜けるものと考えられる。

使用
Valinomycin 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.

反応プロフィール
VALINOMYCIN is an amide. Amides/imides react with azo and diazo compounds to generate toxic gases. Flammable gases are formed by the reaction of organic amides/imides with strong reducing agents. Amides are very weak bases (weaker than water). Imides are less basic yet and in fact react with strong bases to form salts. That is, they can react as acids. Mixing amides with dehydrating agents such as P2O5 or SOCl2 generates the corresponding nitrile. The combustion of these compounds generates mixed oxides of nitrogen (NOx).

生物活性
Selective K + ionophore (K 0.5 values are 48, 73, 75, 93 and 246 mM for K + , Rb + , Cs + , Na + and Li + respectively) that transports K + across biological and artificial lipid membranes. Inhibits Ca 2+ -ATPase activity and induces apoptosis through mitochondrial membrane depolarization, caspase-3 activation and phosphatidylserine translocation in vitro .

純化方法
Recrystallise valinomycin from dibutyl ether or Et2O. It is dimorphic: modification A crystallises from n-octane, and modification B crystallises from EtOH/H2O. It is soluble in pet ether, CHCl3, AcOH, BuOAc and Me2CO. [Smith et al.
