  3. Nigericin

Nigericin is an antibiotic derived from Streptomyces hygroscopicus that act as a K+/H+ ionophore, promoting K+/H+ exchange across mitochondrial membranes. Nigericin shows promising anti-cancer activities through decreasing intracellular pH (pHi), and inactivation of Wnt/β-catenin signals. Nigericin induces pyroptosis through caspase 1/GSDMD in TNBC.

    In Vitro

    Nigericin (0-4 μg/ml; 24 h) induces pyroptosis through caspase 1/GSDMD pathway in TNBC cells[6].
    Nigericin (1 μg/mL, 8 × MIC; 2 μg/mL, 16 × MIC; 196 h) is a bactericidal antibiotic against MDR gram-positive bacteria[4].
    Nigericin (0-0.25 μg/ml; 24 h) inactivates Wnt/β-catenin pathway in H460 cells as an anti-cancer effect[7].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    In Vivo

    Nigericin (1 mg/kg; i.p.; every 12 h for 3 D) reduces the infection of S. aureus USA300 in mice[4].
    Nigericin (0.025 mg/kg; s.c.; every two days in 4 weeks) plus anti-PD-1 shows synergistic anti-cancer effect[6].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
