    Polymyxin B1-I Sulfate, EvoPure®

    $367,936.14

    Polymyxin B1-I Sulfate, EvoPure® (syn: Isoleucine (Ile)-B1) is one of the individual polypeptide components in Polymyxin B Sulfate. Polymyxin B1-I contains, among other amino acids, an L-isoleucine residue in place of the L-leucine reside found in the other polymyxin fractions. The unique fatty acid group found in B1-I is 6-methyloctanoic acid (6-MOA), the same group found in Polymyxin B1. Results from in vitro studies have shown marginal differences in MIC data when comparing the fractions.

    We also offer:

    • Polymyxin B Sulfate, USP (P007)
    • Polymyxin B1 Sulfate, EvoPure® (P037)
    • Polymyxin B2 Sulfate, EvoPure® (P039)
    • Polymyxin B3 Sulfate, EvoPure® (P040)
    • Polymyxin B6 Sulfate, EvoPure® (P054)
    • Polymyxin E1 Sulfate, EvoPure® (P055)
    • Polymyxin E2 Sulfate, EvoPure® (P056)

    EvoPure® products are purified single antibiotic fractions, most are >99% pure. Highly pure EvoPure® Polymyxin products can be used to analyze the specifc effects of individual Polymyxin B fractions.

    Mechanism of Action Polymyxin B targets and alters permeability lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Gram negative bacteria leading to lysing of the cell. Polymyxin B only needs to interact with LPS, it is not required to enter the cell.
    Spectrum Polymyxin B sulfate targets the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

    Polymyxin B3 was the most active polymyxin fraction according to research done by Kassamali et al, and there was a synergistic effect using Polymyxin B3 and B1-I (Kassamali et al, year)
    Microbiology Applications Polymyxin B Sulfate is commonly used in clinical in vitro microbiological antimicrobial susceptibility tests (panels, discs, and MIC strips) against gram negative microbial isolates. Medical microbiologists use AST results to recommend antibiotic treatment options.  Representative MIC values include:
    • Pseudomonas aeruginosa 0.25 µg/mL – 1 µg/mL

    Plant Biology Applications Polymyxin B sulfate was successfully tested to counteract phytopathogenic Gram-negative bacterial growth including different strains of Pseudomonas viridiflava and Erwinia carotovora. Polymixin B sulfate was shown to reduce bacterial growth of different strains of Pseudomonas viridiflava at low concentrations, (0.08 µg/ml) and Erwinia carotovora growth at slightly higher concentrations (0.25 µg/ml) (Selim et al. 2005).
