Effects of four components of the polyene antibiotic, filipin, on phospholipid spherules (liposomes) and erythrocytes.
Effects of a complex polyene antibiotic, filipin, and its four components were studied upon biological (erythrocyte) and artificial (liposome) membranes in order to test the “sterol receptor” hypothesis of polyene action. The hemolytic activity of filipin complex could be removed more effectively by liposomes which had cholesterol incorporated (phosphatidyl choline (7)~dicetylphosphate (2)-chol...
متن کاملAbsorption and fluorescence spectra of polyene antibiotics in the presence of cholesterol.
The alterations in the absorption and fluorescence spectra observed for the polyene antibiotics filipin and nystatin in the presence of cholesterol are due to an exciton interaction (polyene aggregates) and cannot be attributed to a specific sterol-antibiotic complex. Filipin and nystatin molecules partition into the sterol aggregates, these structures being very efficient to induce exciton int...
متن کاملThe Interaction of Polyene Antibiotics with Thin Lipid Membranes
Optically black, thin lipid membranes prepared from sheep erythrocyte lipids have a high dc resistance (R(m) congruent with 10(8) ohm-cm(2)) when the bathing solutions contain NaCl or KCl. The ionic transference numbers (T(i)) indicate that these membranes are cation-selective (T(Na) congruent with 0.85; T(Cl) congruent with 0.15). These electrical properties are independent of the cholesterol ...
متن کاملEffects of Filipin and Cholesterol on K Movement in Etiolated Stem Cells of Pisum sativum L.
Filipin, a polyene antibiotic known to induce leakage of materials from various cells, depresses K(+) and NO(3) (-) uptake in etiolated pea epicotyl segments. Filipin concentrations which strongly reduce K(+) influx have little effect on efflux; however, high concentrations enhance K(+) efflux. Filipin has no effect on respiration rates or cell electropotentials; its action is presumed to be on...
متن کاملMode of hemolytic action of the antifungal polyene antibiotic filipin.
Filipin at low concentrations rapidly hemolyzes bovine erythrocytes. Of the compounds tested, which were known a constituents of cell membranes, only cholesterol and phosphatidyl-choline prevented hemolysis. A specific complex was formed only with cholesterol. Filipin treatment caused a release of cholesterol from erythrocytes. Since all cell sterol is located in the cell membrane, the hemolyti...
