    AnnotationDidehydroroflamycoin (DDHR), a recently isolatedmember of the polyenemacrolide family, was shown to have 21 antibacterial and antifungal activity. However, its mechanism of action has not been investigated. Antibiotics 22 from this family are amphiphilic; thus, they have membrane activity, their biological action is localized in the 23 membrane, and the membrane composition and physical properties facilitate the recognition of a particular 24 compound by the target organism. In this work, we use model lipid membranes comprised of giant unilamellar 25 vesicles (GUVs) for a systematic study of the action of DDHR. In parallel, experiments are conducted using filipin 26 III and amphotericin B, other members of the family, and the behavior observed for DDHR is described in the 27 context of that of these two heavily studied compounds. The study shows that DDHR disrupts membranes via 28 two different mechanisms and that the involvement of these mechanisms depends on the presence of 29 cholesterol. The leakage assays performed in GUVs and the conductance measurements using black lipid 30 membranes (BLM) reveal that the pores that develop in the absence of cholesterol are transient and their size 31 is dependent on the DDHR concentration. In contrast, cholesterol promotes the formation of more defined 32 structures that are temporally stable.
