Description
Cation-selective, single-filing pore forming antibiotic agent -
Biological description
Cation-selective, single-filing pore forming antibiotic agent. Forms a membrane channel permeable to small monovalent cations, protons, and water but impermeable to divalent cations and anions. Induces K+/H+-exchange in mitochondria in a non-voltage dependent manner. Shows bactericidal effects against non-bacilli Gram-positive strains and select Gram-negative bacteria in vivo. -

Handling
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one week. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
