Molecular Structure:
Property:
Monensin Sodium exhibits significant preference to form complexes with monovalent cations such as: Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Ag+ and Tl+ .
Monensin Sodium is able to transport these cations across lipid membranes of cells, playing an important role as an Na+/H+ antiporter. Monensin Sodium blocks intracellular protein transport, and exhibits antibiotic, antimalarial, and other biological activities . The antibacterial properties of monensin and its derivatives are a result of their ability to transport metal cations through cellular and subcellular membranes

Usage:
Monensin Sodium is used extensively in the beef and dairy industries to prevent coccidiosis, increase the production of propionic acid and prevent bloat.. Furthermore monensin, but also its derivatives monensin methyl ester (MME), and particularly monensin decyl ester (MDE) are widely used in ion selective electrodes
