Filipin is a mixture of chemical compounds first isolated by chemists at the
UV-Vis and IR
spectra.
Functions
Although the
Niemann-Pick disease.[citation needed
]
It is also used in cellular biology as an inhibitor of the raft/caveolae endocytosis pathway on mammalian cells (at concentrations around 3 µg/mL)[citation needed]
Types
Filipin is a mixture of four components - filipin I (4%), II (25%), III (53%), and IV (18%) - and should be referred to as the filipin complex.[2][3]
- The major component, filipin III, has the structure which was proposed by Ceder and Ryhage for the filipin complex.
- Filipin I, which has been difficult to characterize, is probably a mixture of several components each having two hydroxyl groups fewer than filipin III.
- NMRdata indicate that Filipin II is 1'-deoxy-filipin III.
- Filipin IV is isomeric to filipin III. Their NMR spectra are nearly identical with the major difference being the splitting pattern of the proton at C2. This indicates that filipin IV is probably epimeric to filipin III at either C1' or C3.
The relative and absolute stereochemistry of filipin III was determined by 13C NMR acetonide analysis.[4]
