Application

N-Phenyl-1-naphthylamine can be used as fluorescent probe for the determination of critical micelle concentration of surfactants. N-Phenyl-1-naphthylamine was used in a method for determination of the concentration of organolithium and organomagnesium reagents. N-Phenyl-1-naphthylamine was used as hydrophobic probe to study the phase transitions of membrane lipids in whole cells .

Biochem/physiol Actions

N-Phenyl-1-naphthylamine turns fluorescent after binding to hydrophobic regions of cell membranes.

N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine (NPN) becomes fluorescent after binding to hydrophobic regions of cell membranes. Rat and mouse lymphoid cell suspensions stained with NPN showed changes in fluorescence emission 30 min after stimulation with mitogen or antigen, detected by microfluorimetry.

Colistin (polymyxin E) is a membrane-destabilizing antibiotic used against Gram-negative bacteria. We have recently reported that the outer membrane prevents the uptake of antibacterial chlorophyllin into Gram-negative cells. In this study, we used sub-toxic concentrations of colistin to weaken this

With the antibiotic development pipeline running dry, many fear that we might soon run out of treatment options. High-density infections are particularly difficult to treat due to their adaptive multidrug-resistance and currently there are no therapies that adequately address this

The AcrA-AcrB-TolC complex is the major multidrug efflux pump in Escherichia coli. The asymmetric structure of the trimeric inner-membrane component AcrB implies functional rotation of the monomers and a peristaltic mode of drug efflux. This mechanism suggests the occurrence of
