Monensin Methyl Ester (CAS 28636-21-7)
QUICK LINKS
Monensin methyl ester (MME) is a synthetic compound that has found wide applications in scientific research. Derived from monensin, a natural antibiotic produced by Streptomyces cinnamonensis bacteria, MME exhibits a broader range of uses compared to its parent compound. While monensin is recognized for inhibiting the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, MME has been extensively investigated for its potential to modulate gene expression and induce apoptosis. The mechanism of action underlying MME involves multiple facets. It binds to the ribosomal subunits of Gram-positive bacteria, effectively hindering their growth. Furthermore, MME interacts with specific proteins in the cell membrane, modifying their function and ultimately triggering apoptosis.
