In vitro cytotoxicity and antibiotic activity of polymyxin B nonapeptide.

چکیده
Polymyxin B nonapeptide, prepared by enzymic removal of the fatty acyl diaminobutyric acid side chain from polymyxin B, was about 100-fold less toxic to K562 cells than polymyxin B. MICs of polymyxin B nonapeptide against a test panel of bacteria were 2- to 64-fold lower than those of polymyxin B.

Effect of polymyxin B nonapeptide on daptomycin permeability and cell surface properties in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Pasteurella multocida.
The present study was carried out to determine if sensitization of Gram-negative bacteria to the polyanionic antibiotic daptomycin by cationic molecules can be explained on the basis of decreased cell surface charge in order to better understand intrinsic resistance. Turbidimetric assessments of batch cultural growth kinetics revealed the outer membrane permeabilizer polymyxin B nonapeptide sen...
متن کاملAntibacterial synergism of polymyxin B nonapeptide and hydrophobic antibiotics in experimental gram-negative infections in mice.
Polymyxin B nonapeptide, derived by cleavage of the fatty acyl diaminobutyric acid from polymyxin B, is considerably less toxic, lacks bactericidal activity, and retains its ability to render gram-negative bacteria susceptible to several antibiotics by permeabilizing their outer membranes. The peptide rendered all 53 polymyxin-susceptible strains tested more susceptible to novobiocin, lowering ...
متن کاملPolycations sensitize enteric bacteria to antibiotics.
Polymyxin B nonapeptide, a polymyxin B derivative which lacks the fatty acyl part and the bactericidal activity of polymyxin, was shown to sensitize smooth encapsulated Escherichia coli (O18:K1) and smooth Salmonella typhimurium to hydrophobic antibiotics (novobiocin, fusidic acid, erythromycin, clindamycin, nafcillin, and cloxacillin). The polymyxin B nonapeptide-treated bacteria were as sensi...
متن کاملStudies on the selectivity of action of colistin, colistin nonapeptide and colistin heptapeptide on the cell envelope of Escherichia coli.
KOIKE e t al. reported that a cationic acylpeptide antibiotic, colistin (polymyxin E) caused the formation of blebs on the outer layer of the Gram-negative bacterial cell envelope". They have also reported that colistin affects the cytoplasmic membrane, leads to leakage of cytoplasmic 260 nm-absorbing materials and has specific bursting-activity on spheroplasts of Gram-negative bacteria'). On t...
متن کاملModulation of the hydrophobic domain of polymyxin B nonapeptide: effect on outer-membrane permeabilization and lipopolysaccharide neutralization.
Polymyxin B nonapeptide (PMBN), a cationic cyclic peptide derived from the antibacterial peptide polymyxin B, is capable of specifically increasing the permeability of the outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria toward hydrophobic antibiotics. In this study, we evaluated the contribution of the hydrophobic segment of PMBN (i.e., D-Phe(5)-Leu(6)) to this activity. Accordingly, we synthesiz...
