Abstract

A compound of the prodigiosene type chromophore has been prepared and its carrier mediated transport properties for nearly all physiologically important cations determined using a bulk membrane system. This ligand is a very effective ionophore for these cations without pronounced selectivities. The mechanistic implications of complexation behaviour of the ligand for its transport characteristics are discussed: The physiological (bacteriostatic, fungistatic, antimitotic and toxic) properties of the prodigiosenes may be fundamentally correlated to their pronounced ionophoric properties.
