Application

Nonactin is a macrotetrolide that forms complexes with alkali cations, such as potassium and sodium. Nonactin has been reported to inhibit the processing of cytoplasmic precursor proteins destined for the mitochondria. Nonactin is an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nonactin is used as a neutral lipid membrane soluble ammonium (and potassium) ionophore, and to inhibit surface expression of certain heat shock proteins (HSP60) .

Four compounds, including two novel macrolides, were isolated from an endophyte Streptomyces sp. Is9131 of Maytenus hookeri. Spectral data indicated that these compounds were dimeric dinactin (1), dimeric nonactin (2), cyclo-homononactic acid (3), and cyclo-nonactic acid (4). Bioassay results showed

We describe the phenomenon of mechanoelectrical transduction in macroscopic lipid bilayer membranes modified by two cation-selective ionophores, valinomycin and nonactin. We found that bulging these membranes, while maintaining the membrane tension constant, produced a marked supralinear increase in specific carrier-mediated
