Magnesium ionophore III (CAS 119110-38-2)

Magnesium ionophore III is an onophore used in solvent polymeric membrane electrodes for the assay of Mg2+ activities in blood serum in vitro.Magnesium ionophore III (Mg3), a synthetic compound, has garnered attention due to its capability in ferrying magnesium ions across biological membranes. As an ionophore, Magnesium ionophore III belongs to a family of compounds facilitating ion transportation across cellular boundaries. Its diverse utility spans scientific, and industrial sectors. The scientific realm has explored the potential of Magnesium ionophore III across a spectrum of research applications. It has notably served as a representative system to dissect the influence of magnesium ions on cellular membranes. Furthermore, it has been harnessed to gauge and quantify magnesium ion concentrations in biological samples. Notably, Magnesium ionophore III′s potential as a conduit for delivering magnesium ions, akin to a drug delivery system, has also been scrutinized. Its ionophore nature entails the facilitation of ion movement across cell boundaries, with a specific focus on magnesium ions. This facilitation occurs through the creation of a complex with magnesium ions, thereby enabling their traversal through cellular membranes.
