Its diffusion coefficient measured by fluorescence photobleaching decreases hyperbolically as the concentration of nystatin is increased. This behavior is reproduced when the concentration of the derivative is increased. In contrast, diffusion of a nitrobenzoxadiazole derivative of a phospholipid is insensitive tothe nystatin concentration under these conditions. The nystatin-specific diffusion changes can be understood if nystatin exists in a monomer-micelle equilibrium within the membrane but cannot be accounted for by binding or phase partitioning.^ íystatin is one of several polyene antibiotics used clinically as an antifungal agent (Hammond, 1977; Medoff et al., 1983). These drugs are known to be membrane-active agents which can induce K+ leakage and cell lysis in yeast, erythrocytes, and mammalian cells including murine L cells (Gale, 1974). A large body of work with model membranes [reviewed by Hammond (1977)] has led to the suggestion that polyene antibiotics, such as nystatin and amphotericin B, associate with sterols in the membrane to form transmembrane pores (de Kruijff & Demel, 1974; van Hoogevest & de Kruijff, 1978). tThis work was supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (Grant U109), by the National Institutes of Health (NCI Grant CA14554 and NIAIDGrant AI16228), and by the Academic Development Fund of The University of Western Ontario.The polyene antibiotics produce a variety of effects on mammalian cells in vivo and in culture (Medoff et al., 1983) perhaps involving more than one mechanism. Accordingly, we have become interestedin characterizing in more detail the interactions of polyene antibiotics with membranes of living cells. Measurements of diffusion of membrane components represent one approach to studying their dynamic interactions through, for example, binding to slowly moving structures (Elson & Reidler, 1979). We have recently reported the synthesis and characterization of nitrobenzoxadiazole deriv-atives of amphotericin B (Petersen, 1983), nystatin, and pimaricin (Petersen, 1985) and have characterized an interesting and potentially useful intramolecular fluorescence energy transfer process in these derivatives (Petersen, 1985). In this paper, we present diffusion data which provide evidence for
