Application Notes
Lasalocid is a polyether ionophore with potent antibacterial activity isolated from Streptomyces lasaliensis, first 
reported in 1951. Lasalocid was developed as an animal health product for treatment of coccidia. Lasalocid is able to 
form neutral complexes with monovalent and palent cations and transport the ions through apolar phase (including 
lipid bilayer membranes). Interestingly, lasalocid can also transport larger organic cations, e.g. protonated 
dopamine.
