Pimaricin, Streptomyces chattanoogensis (CAS 7681-93-8)
QUICK LINKS
Pimaricin, a polyene antifungal compound found in Streptomyces chattanoogensis, is extensively applied in research due to its specific mechanism of action, which involves binding to ergosterol in fungal cell membranes. This interaction disrupts the membrane structure, leading to the leakage of essential intracellular components. In research applications, Pimaricin, Streptomyces chattanoogensis is used to study fungal cell physiology and membrane biology, providing insights into the mechanisms of fungal resistance and membrane permeability. Additionally, it serves as a tool to selectively inhibit fungal contamination in a variety of microbiological media due to its minimal effects on bacterial cells. The compound has also been utilized in agricultural research to explore its potential for controlling fungal growth in crops and food products.
