1939 Jrnl. Amer. Med. Assoc. 30 Dec. 2417/2 The Burdick Ionophore generates galvanic current designed for use in iontophoresis.

1945 Arch. Dermatol. & Syphilol. 52 98/1 An Ionophore Unit was provided for these experiments by the Burdick Corporation, of Wisconsin.

1955 R. M. Fuoss in Jrnl. Chem. Educ. 32 527/1 Conventional nomenclature thus forces us into the awkward position of asserting that sodium chloride is a strong electrolyte in water and a weak one in ammonia... It is therefore suggested that sodium chloride be called an ionophore, defined as a substance in which ions and only ions are present in the crystal lattice.

1963 Jrnl. Chem. & Engin. Data 8 179/1 It is not necessary to employ Fuoss' procedure, based on the Onsager–Fuoss conductance equation.., for an ionophore as highly associated as is NaBr in liquid SO₂ at 0° C.

1993 E. V. Dehmlow & S. S. Dehmlow Phase Transfer Catalysis (ed. 3) i. 4 Ionophores, which are molecules made up of ions in the crystal lattice, dissociate (or partly dissociate) into solvated cations and anions in solvents of high dielectric constant.

1967 B. C. Pressman et al. in Proc. National Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 58 1954 Both the valinomycin and the nigericin classes of antibiotics induce alkali ion permeability in mitochondrial and other systems by carrying ions across lipid barriers as lipid-soluble complexes. Accordingly we propose to classify them generically as ionophores or ionophorous agents.

1984 E. Holtzman & A. B. Novikoff Cells & Organelles (ed. 3) ii. i. 74 Most known ionophores are synthetic molecules or special products of microorganisms.

1993 Beef Improvem. News (Melbourne) May 25/1 Ionophores offer Australian beef producers a management option for increasing productivity.

1993 Cell 73 227/1 When treated with phorbol diester plus calcium ionophore, mature thymocytes are induced to proliferate.

2005 Perkins (Oklahoma) Jrnl. 17 Mar. a10/2 Ranchers should consider using a supplement containing an ionophore in the growing diet of the heifers.

1967 B. C. Pressman et al. in Proc. National Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 58 1954 We propose to classify them generically as ionophores or ionophorous agents.

1979 Nature 20 Dec. 851/1 Another ionophorous antibiotic capable of transporting Ca²⁺.

2008 M. Kaldhusdal & F. T. W. Jordan in M. Pattison et al. Poultry Dis. (ed. 6) xviii. 205 The ionophorous anticoccidials are generally very effective against C. perfringens.
