General description

Chemical structure: macrolide

Application

Filipin complex from Streptomyces filipinensis has been used as a profluorescence probe to detect the free cholesterol in cell.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Filipin is a polyene macrolide antibiotic and antifungal. The antifungal mechanism of action is unclear but may be due to altering membrane permeability. Filipin binds to model crystalline phase lipid bilayers containing cholesterol, and to liquid phase bilayers with or without cholesterol, in an orientation that forms membrane pores.It both inhibits prion protein (PrP) endocytosis and causes the release of PrP from the plasma membrane.

Other Notes

Filipin contains 8 isomeric components, with filipin III as the major component.

  3. How should Product F9765, Filipin complex from Streptomyces filipinensis, be solubilized?

    This product has low solubility in aqueous buffers. It should initially be reconstituted in DMSO at 1 mg/mL and then diluted into saline or an aqueous buffer of choice.

  4. What is the stability of stock solutions Product F9765, Filipin complex from Streptomyces filipinensis?

    Solutions of filipin in aqueous or organic solvents are not considered to be stable and it is recommended that they be prepared fresh and not stored as stock solutions.

  5. What is the difference between Filipin products F9765 and F4767?

    The product F9765 consists of a filipin complex. It is composed of 8 isomeric components, of which filipin III is the major component in the complex. F4767 consists of filipin III alone and is considered to be a better choice for staining.
