Preparation Note

Following reconstitution, store in the refrigerator (4°C). Stock solutions are stable for up to 6 months at 4°C.

Application

Monensin sodium salt has been used:
  • for the intracellular staining of cytokines
  • to study its effects on the regulation of nuclear factor-κ B (NF-κB ) activation
  • as a positive control to study its effects on in vitro rumen fermentation

Biochem/physiol Actions

Na+ ionophore; blocks glycoprotein secretion; may induce catecholamine secretion from chromaffin cells. Useful in potentiometric and spectroscopic studies of alkali metal ion complexes.

General description

Chemical structure: polyether
Monensin is a polyether ionophoric antibiotic, which is produced by Streptomyces cinnamonensis. It is used to treat bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections. Monensin prevents the growth of colon cancer cells. It facilitates the transport of sodium and potassium ions between intracellular and extracellular spaces. Monensin prevents coccidiosis in poultry production.
