Gramicidin A

Description: Gramicidin A is a peptide antibiotic isolated from B. brevis.Gramicidin A is a highly hydrophobic channel-forming ion carrier that forms monovalent cation-permeable channels in artificial membranes.Gramicidin A induces the degradation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) and reduces the growth of a mouse xenograft model of human renal cell carcinoma. Gramicidin A has antibacterial, antimalarial and hemolytic activities. Target: Parasite, Antibacterial, HIF.
