Permeability Control in Animal Cells by Polyenes: a Possibility

Gerald Medoff 1,2, C N Kwan 1,2, D Schlessinger 1,2, G S Kobayashi 1,2
PMCID: PMC444430  PMID: 4790603

Abstract

The polyenes amphotericin B and vitamin A enhanced the specific actions of rifampin, fusidic acid, and 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea against mouse L cells in tissue culture as measured by macromolecular synthesis and cell survival.
