Salinomycin is a polyether - antibiotic and is used by Streptomyces albus formed.
Synthesis and properties
The macromolecule is structurally a dispiro - ketal compound and is biosynthesized using the polyketide route . Total chemical synthesis was first described in 1998.
application
Veterinary medicine
The sodium salt of salinomycin is used as a feed additive (E 766) to prevent coccidiosis in broiler chickens and rabbits. Besides coccidia, it is effective against certain gram-positive bacteria, but not against enterobacteria . In the concentration used for chickens, salinomycin is toxic to horses and turkeys.
The maximum permissible residue concentration in the EU for broilers is 5 μg / kg salinomycin in all moist tissues.
Human medicine
In human medicine, the use of salinomycin in the treatment of certain cancers is being researched, as it is believed to lead to cell death ( apoptosis ) in so-called tumor stem cells .
