Gramicidin S (Gramicidin soviet) is a cationic cyclic peptide antibiotic that selectively targets bacterial cell membranes and has anticancer activity. Gramicidin S also exerts antibacterial activity by destroying membrane integrity and interfering with membrane protein function. Gramicidin S inserts into the phospholipid bilayer through hydrophobic amino acid residues, specifically binds to negatively charged membrane lipids and disrupts membrane structure, thereby inhibiting cell division and cell wall synthesis, and ultimately causing bacterial death. Gramicidin S also inhibits ion channels, with IC50s of 41 μM, 24 μM, and 3 μM for Na +/K +-ATPase, tobacco leaf plasma membrane Mg 2+/K +-ATPase, and rat heart plasma membrane Ca 2+-ATPase, respectively .

BODIPY FL-DHPE is a fluorescent lipid probe composed of phosphatidylethanolamine (DHPE) labeled with a BODIPY FL fluorophore, which is used for fluorescent labeling of cell membranes, differentiation between liposome membrane fusion and endocytic pathways, and studies of membrane dynamics. The two C16 alkyl chains of BODIPY FL-DHPE insert into the lipid bilayer of membranes, and its fluorescence exhibits concentration dependence: it exists as monomers and emits green fluorescence at low mole fractions; it forms dimers with a red-shifted emission peak at high mole fractions; this spectral change is independent of enzymes, pH, and membrane potential. When liposomes enter the plasma membrane via membrane fusion, the dye is diluted, leading to attenuation of the dimer peak and enhancement of the monomer peak; when entry occurs via endocytosis, the dye remains in endosomes at high concentration with no change in the dimer peak, allowing differentiation between the two uptake pathways. Ex = 488 nm; monomer Em = 515 nm, dimer Em ≈ 620 nm .

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 .

Synonyms: 16:0-18:1 PS (POPS)
1-Palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-PS sodium (16:0-18:1 PS (POPS)) is an anionic phosphatidylserine phospholipid with 16:0 (palmitoyl) and 18:1 (oleoyl) acyl chains. It serves as a component of biomimetic inner plasma membrane models and membrane vesicles for hemostatic response studies. 1-Palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-PS sodium regulates membrane electrical properties by forming tethered bilayer lipid membranes. It enhances the stability of sHDL particles without altering the cholesterol efflux capacity of sHDL. 1-Palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-PS sodium acts synergistically with phosphatidylcholine to support prothrombin activation. It serves as a component of the 4:1 POPC/POPS binary lipid bilayer model. 1-Palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-PS sodium is applicable to research related to atherosclerosis .

Synonyms: 2,4,6-Trichloroanisole
Tyrene (2,4,6-Trichloroanisole) is an off-flavor compound, cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel inhibitor, and olfactory transduction attenuator. Tyrene is formed by microbial O-methylation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol. Tyrene inhibits channel activity in olfactory receptor cells by partitioning into the plasma membrane lipid bilayer, and also suppresses odorant- and cAMP-induced currents in individual olfactory receptor cells. Tyrene causes cork taint in wine. Tyrene also produces off-flavors in potato chips, dried fruits, coffee, and drinking water .

Cerebrocrast (IOS-1.1212) is a 1,4-dihydropyridine (DHP) derivative. Cerebrocrast has a high affinity for the membrane lipid bilayer and it can easily penetrate the blood-brain barrier and incorporate into the plasma and organelle membranes, including those of mitochondria. Cerebrocrast promotes the cotransport of H+ and Cl- in rat liver mitochondria. Cerebrocrast also exhibits neuroprotective and cognition enhancer properties .
