Nonactin is a member of a family of naturally occurring cyclic ionophores known as the macrotetrolide antibiotics. The other members of this homologous family are monactin dinactin trinactin and tetranactin which are all neutral ionophoric substances and higher homologs of nonactin. Collectively this class is known as the nactins. Nonactin is soluble in methanol dichloromethane ethyl acetate and DMSO but insoluble in water.
