Small molecule anionophores promote transmembrane anion permeation matching CFTR activity
Abstract Anion selective ionophores, anionophores, are small molecules capable of facilitating the transmembrane transport of anions. Inspired in the structure of natural product prodigiosin, four novel anionophores 1a-d, including a 1,2,3-triazole group, were prepared. These compounds proved highly...

Abstract Anion selective ionophores, anionophores, are small molecules capable of facilitating the transmembrane transport of anions.

The changes in the hydrogen bond cleft modified the anion transport selectivity exhibited by these compounds compared to prodigiosin and suppressed the characteristic high toxicity of the natural product.
