Application

Duramycin is used to study chloride secretion by cardial, pancreatic and airway epithelial voltage-gated ion channels. It is used to study cystic fibrosis and as a novel phosphatidylethanolamine-binding molecular probe. It is used to stimulate sodium transport in cultured human colonic epithelia.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Duramycin is the smallest known polypeptide since it has only 19 amino acids. It has a defined 3-dimensional binding structure. Duramycin binds phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdE) at a 1:1 ratio with high affinity and exclusive specificity. It enhances chloride secretion in airway epithelium.

We visualized nanometer-scale phospholipid particle fusion by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) on an alkanethiol-modified gold substrate, induced by duramycin, a tetracyclic antibiotic peptide with 19 amino residues. Ultrasonic homogenization generated a suspension mainly consisting of minimal lipid particles (MLP) from

The lantibiotic duramycin (Moli1901, Lancovutide) has been suggested as a drug of choice in the treatment for cystic fibrosis (CF). It has been proposed that duramycin may stimulate chloride secretion through Ca²(+) -activated Cl⁻ channels (CaCC). We investigated whether duramycin
