General description

Monensin, is an antibiotic produced by Streptomyces cinnamonensis. It is a naturally occurring ionophore. It has an acyclic polyether sequence and a terminal carboxylic acid moiety. It has the ability to effectively carry protons and cations through the cell membrane, hence it adequately harbours Na+ into a characteristic pseudoactivity, thereby effectively transporting it across a bio-membrane. It also forms stable complexes with k+, Rb+ and Ag+; hence it can be chemically modified to form cation-binding sites, thereby attaining transport functionalities.

Application


  • The selectivity of membrane ion-selective electrodes: This research explores the use of temperature variations to adjust the selectivity of ion-selective electrodes, utilizing Monensin methyl ester as a key component for sodium ion detection (Zahran et al., 2010).

  • Spectroscopic and semiempirical studies of a proton channel formed by the methyl ester of monensin A.: This paper presents a detailed analysis of the proton channel properties of Monensin methyl ester through spectroscopic and computational methods, highlighting its potential in analytical chemistry applications (Huczyński et al., 2006).

  • Ion chromatography detector based on solid-state ion-selective electrode array.: The development of an ion chromatography detector employing solid-state ion-selective electrodes, with Monensin methyl ester playing a crucial role in sodium ion detection, is detailed in this study (Lee et al., 2000).
