General description

Chemical structure: macrolide
Concanamycin A belongs to the plecomacrolide family and comprises an 18-membered tetraenic macrolide ring.

Application

Concanamycin A has been used:
  • as a lysosomal inhibitor in young and old fibroblasts
  • as a vacuolar-type H+-ATPase inhibitor in presynaptic vesicles
  • as a lysosomal acidification blocker in HepG2 hepatocytes cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

Concanamycin A (ConA) inhibits acidification of organelles and perforin-mediated cytotoxicity. It is a vacuolar-type v-ATPase inhibitor. ConA possesses antiprotozoal and antineoplastic properties. It mediates inhibition of the negative factor (Nef) protein of the human immunodeficiency virus.

Ambient GABA in the brain tonically activates extrasynaptic GABA(A) receptors, and activity-dependent changes in ambient GABA concentration can also activate GABA(B) receptors. To investigate an interaction between postsynaptic GABA(B) and GABA(A) receptors, we recorded GABA(A) currents elicited by exogenous GABA
