polymyxin b-1

Polymyxin B1, a potent antimicrobial lipopeptide derived from Bacillus polymyxa, has potential for treating multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections.

Polymyxin B1-i is a polypeptide antibiotic.

PA3552-IN-1 is an antibiotic adjuvant that can reduce the expression of PA3552 and restore the sensitivity of MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa DK2 strain to Polymyxin B.

IKD-8344 is a macrocyclic dilactone originally isolated from an actinomycete species with diverse biological activities, including anticancer, antimicrobial, and anthelmintic properties [1,2,3]. It is cytotoxic to L5178Y murine leukemia cells (IC50 = 0.54 ng/ml) [1], inhibits growth of the mycelial form of C. albicans (MIC = 6.25 μg/ml), and potentiates the activity of polymyxin B against the multidrug-resistant pathogenic bacterium B. cenocepacia [2,3]. Additionally, it is active against T. spiralis in vitro and in vivo [1].

Polymyxin B2, a significant component of polymyxin B, is an antibiotic cationic lipopeptide initially derived from B. polymyxa. This compound effectively inhibits P. aeruginosa, A. baumannii, K. pneumoniae, and E. cloacae strains, exhibiting minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 1-2, 0.5-1, 0.25-0.5, and 0.25-1 µg/ml, respectively. Notably, in a mouse model of P. aeruginosa bloodstream infection, administration of polymyxin B2 at a dosage of 4 mg/kg has been shown to decrease the number of colony-forming units (CFUs) in the blood.
