Synthesis of Benzo-15-crown-5 polyethers, anticoccidial ionophore analogues. 1979

G R Brown, and A J Foubister

Synthesis of eight benzo-15-crown-5 derivatives I (R = H, CO2Me, CO2H, Me; R1 = H, CO2H, CO2Me, CHO, CH=CHCO2H, CH2CH2CO2H) designed as rigid cyclic analogues of the anticoccidial ionophores is described. No anticoccidial activity was observed in chickens, but moderate activity in tissue culture was found for I (R = Me, R1 = H; R = R1 = H) and dibenzo-18-crown-6.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007476	Ionophores	Chemical agents that increase the permeability of biological or artificial lipid membranes to specific ions. Most ionophores are relatively small organic molecules that act as mobile carriers within membranes or coalesce to form ion permeable channels across membranes. Many are antibiotics, and many act as uncoupling agents by short-circuiting the proton gradient across mitochondrial membranes.	Ionophore
