Abstract

Abstract

The red-colored prodiginines, exemplified by prodigiosin 1, are secondary metabolites produced by a number of microorganisms, including the bacterium Serratia marcescens. These tripyrrole natural products and their synthetic analogs have received renewed attention over the past deacade, primarily because of their promising immunosuppressive and anticancer activities. One of the hallmarks of prodiginin chemistry is the ability of the monoprotonated ligand to bind anions, including the essential chloride and bicarbonate ions. The resulting lipophilic ion pair is then able to diffuse across the hydrophobic barrier presented by phospholipid bilayers. Thus, prodiginines have been found to be potent transmembrane anion transporters and HCl cotransporters. In this chapter, the author reviews what is known about the solid-state structure of prodiginins and their anion complexes, the solution conformation of prodiginines, and the biochemcal evidence for the ability to bind anions and to transport HCl across cell membranes. Recent progress in making synthetic models of prodiginines and recent results on the ability of prodigiosin to transport HCO 3 − across lipid membranes are discussed.
