Cl--ion transporters (2a-2h) were synthesized based on the binding motifs of prodigiosin. Transporter 2e clearly displays Cl--ion transportation activity across both model and live cell membranes. Furthermore, 2e can disrupt Ca2+ homeostasis and increase the intracellular concentration of Ca2+ in the DLD-1 cell. This disruption can lead to Caspase-dependent apoptosis supported by CHOP expression (a marker of ER stress) and the appearance of the cleaved forms of Caspase 3 and PARP.
