Chemical Structure
Ziapin 2
- CAS No.: 2399497-60-8
- Formula:C40H54Br2N6
- Molecular Weight:778.70
InChIKey: QVFGCTAKFZXKTO-NZWRDQTFSA-L
SMILES: N(CCCCCC[N+]1=CC=CC=C1)(C2=CC=C(C=C2)/N=N/C3=CC=C(N4CCCCCC4)C=C3)CCCCCC[N+]5=CC=CC=C5.[Br-].[Br-]
Biological Activity: Ziapin 2 is a membrane potential modulator and an intracellular membrane photoactuator. Ziapin 2 binds to the bacterial plasma membrane, and upon embedding into the lipid bilayer, undergoes trans-cis isomerization under 470 nm light irradiation, which triggers membrane potential hyperpolarization and induces the opening of ion channels on bacterial cell membranes. Through interactions with lipids, Ziapin 2 increases the overall flexibility of the lipid bilayer. Ziapin 2 can form photosensitive transmembrane dimers to trigger cellular signal transduction. Ziapin 2 is applicable to the research and regulation of bacterial electrical signal transduction and the regulation of membrane physical properties[1][2].
