Gramicidin A is a peptide component of gramicidin, an antibiotic mixture originally isolated from B. brevis.{47164} Gramicidin A is a highly hydrophobic channel-forming ionophore that forms channels in model membranes that are permeable to monovalent cations. It induces degradation of hypoxia inducible factor 1 α (HIF-1α) in HEK293 cells and reduces growth in a human renal cell carcinoma mouse xenograft model when administered at a dose of 0.22 mg/kg three times per week.{47165} Gramicidin A has commonly been used to study channel structure and function.{47164}

Description

A channel-forming ionophore; a peptide component of the antibiotic gramicidin; forms channels in model membranes that are permeable to monovalent cations, protons, and water; induces degradation of HIF-1α in HEK293 cells and reduces growth in a human renal cell carcinoma mouse xenograft model at 0.22 mg/kg three times per week; reduces viral yield in WI-38 fibroblasts inoculated with isolates of HSV-1 and HSV-2 (IC50 = 0.3 µg/ml for all); commonly been used to study channel structure and function
