| Application: | Pimaricin is an amphoteric antibiotic from Streptomyces chattanoogensis. It is used for a variety of fungal infections, mainly topically. It is used as an ergosterol and cholesterol binding agent to study lipid bilayer dynamics, especially in fungal cells. Pimaricin is used as a fungicide in agar media. It is used to study the pleitropic regulator AdpAch and the gamma-butyrolactone regulatory system of Streptomyces chattanoogensis. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | An antifungal polyene macrolide that binds specifically to ergosterol and blocks fungal growth. However, unlike nysatin and filipin, pimaricin does not change the permeability of the plasma membrane |
