Filipin complex is a neutral polyene,it has antifungal activity.As a fluorescent compound, Filipin complex can be used for sterol imaging in labeled biological structures,Excitation/emission values of the complexes were 338/480 nm[1,4] . Filipin III (HY-N6718) is the main component of Filipin complex which is composed of four parts[3] . The interaction of Filipin Complex with steroids was found to be related both to the functional group at the 3-position and the aliphatic chain of the steroid[7] .

Cells were pretreated with 1 and 5 g/mL of Filipin Complex for 1 h and infected with IPNV at a MOI of 1 for 1 h. After 12 h of incubation in the presence of the drug, IPNV VP2/VP3 expression was revealed by immunofluorescence. It shows the effect of Filipin Complex on IPNV infection. No effect on viral infection was observed[2] . The Filipin Complex complex can bind various sterols in aqueous solutions and fungal cell membranes, especially 24α-methyl cholesterol, 24α-ethyl cholesterol, and cholesterol, inducing membrane pit formation and leakage of cell contents[5] . The Filipin Complex complex can inhibit cell growth and mitochondrial terminal electron transport in Saccharomyces cerevisiae[6] .
