Hemijska struktura monensina je prvo opisana 1967. godine (Agtarp et al.). To je bio prvi polietarski antibiotik. Prvi izveštaj o totalnoj sintezi monensina je objavljen 1979. godine.[8]
Mehanizam akcije
Monensin A manifestuje naklonost ka formiranju kompleksa sa monovalentnim katjonima kao što su Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Ag+ and Tl+[9][10][11][12]. Monensin A ima sposobnot transportovanja tih katjona kroz lipidne membrane ćelija, što mu daje značajnu ulogu Na+/H+antitransportera. On blokira intraćelijski proteinski transport, i poseduje antibiotička, antimalarijska, i druga biološka svojstva.[13]. Antibakteriske osobine Monensina i njegovih derivata su rezultat njihove sposobnosti da transportuju metalne katjone kroz ćeliske i intraćeliske membrane.[14][15][16].
Upotreba
Monenin je u širokoj upotrebi u industriji prerade mleka i mesa kao stredstvo za sprečavanje cocodiosisa, intenzivnog oslobađanja propionske kiselene.[17]. Monensin, monensin metil estar (MME), i posebno monensin decil estar (MDE) se široko koriste kao sastojak selectivnih elektroda.[18][19][20].
