11078-21-0 Usage
Uses
Different sources of media describe the Uses of 11078-21-0 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Filipin complex comprises a family of pentaene macrocyclic lactones first isolated from Streptomyces filipinensis and reported by researchers at Upjohn in 1955. Filipin complex consists of four analogues, with filipin III comprising the bulk (>70%) of the complex. Filipin complex is a potent broad spectrum antifungal agent that also exhibits antitumor and antiviral activities. Filipin complex acts by binding cell membrane sterols, disrupting membrane integrity.
2. Filipin complex from Streptomyces filipinensis has been used as a profluorescence probe to detect the free cholesterol in cell.
General Description
Chemical structure: macrolide
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.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 11078-21-0 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 1,1,0,7 and 8 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 2 and 1 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 11078-21:
(7*1)+(6*1)+(5*0)+(4*7)+(3*8)+(2*2)+(1*1)=70
70 % 10 = 0
So 11078-21-0 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
