Description
18-Crown-6-ether is a type of crown ether compound and a specific structure dissociating agent. 18-Crown-6-ether can compete with K+ for binding to G-quadruplexes, disrupting their stable structure to regulate the functions of related systems. 18-Crown-6-ether combines with K+ and other metal ions to achieve precise ion transmembrane transport. 18-Crown-6-ether can act as an "susceptibility substrate" for the multi-drug efflux pump EmrE (a bacterial multidrug resistance transporter), ultimately inhibiting bacterial growth. 18-Crown-6-ether can be used in microcapsule controlled release and the research on developing antibacterial enhancers[1][2][3].
