    Background

    Nigericin (sodium salt) is an electroneutral K+/H+ ionophore derived from S. hygroscopicus. This antibiotic is lipophilic and selectively causes efflux of potassium across mitochondrial membranes (1,2). The ion exchange can lead to disruption of membrane potential, changes in pH, and cell death making the compound useful for studying areas of interests such as apoptosis, mitosis, and the immune response (3).
