38. On membranes formed from pure soybean lecithin without cholesterol, no channel activity was observed. The reason could be a higher mobility of the ion channel-forming compound in the cholesterol-containing membrane: P. L. Yeagle, Biochem. Biophys. Acta 1985, 822, 267-287. As with amphotericin B, a specific interaction of 2a, 2c, and 2d with cholesterol is also possible: D. E. Mickus, D. G. Levitt, S. D. Rychnosvsky, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1992, 114, 359-360.
