Description
  • Antibiotic [1].
  • High affinity ionophore for monovalent cations such as H+, K+, Na+, Pb2+ [2, 3, 4, 7, 10].
  • Shows antibacterial (Gram-positive), antifungal, antitumor and antiviral activity [3, 6].
  • Disrupts membrane potential of mitochondria [2].
  • NLRP3/NALP3 activator. Signals through pannexin-1 to induce caspase-1 maturation and IL-1β processing and release [5, 8, 11, 12].
  • Autophagy modulator [13]
