Alamethicin
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Alamethicin is a linear 20-amino acid antibiotic, which can induce voltage-gated conductance in model and cell membranes. Alamethicin exhibits antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, but not Gram-negative bacteria. Alamethicin can form an amphipathic α-helical structure in biological membranes.

Description
In Vitro
A 40 mV decrease in the membrane dipole potential due to the cis-addition of 500 mM phlorizin leads to a fourfold increase in the activity of the cis-added peptide and a 20% enhancement of the
conductance of the first state of single Alamethicin channels[1].
The decrease in the dipole potential of the cis-leaflet facilitates the insertion of the positive pole, at the N-terminus of the Alamethicin dipole, into the membrane[1].
Alamethicin has an unusual primary sequence that includes non-standard amino acids and C- and N-terminal modifications[2].
When bound to lipid bilayers, Alamethicin forms amphipathic helices with polar residues aligning on one helical face. Neutron and X-ray scattering studies show that Alamethicin can form barrel-stave pores in model lipid multilayers composed of phosphatidylcholine[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Solvant et solubilité
In Vitro:
DMSO : 100 mg/mL (50.91 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

In Vivo:
Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (1.27 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
