    Polymyxin B1 Sulfate, EvoPure®

    ฿38,448.30

    Polymyxin B1 Sulfate, EvoPure® is one of the polypeptide fractions in Polymyxin B Sulfate. The fatty acid group found in Polymyxin B1 Sulfate is 6-methyloctanoic acid (6-MOA); the same group found in Polymyxin B1-I Sulfate. Polymyxin B1 however, contains a L-leucine residue, rather than the L-isoleucine reside found in Polymyxin B1-I sulfate. Results from in vitro studies have shown marginal differences in MIC data when comparing the fractions.

    We also offer:

    • Polymyxin B Sulfate (P007)
    • Polymyxin B1-I Sulfate, EvoPure® (P038)
    • 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 Polymyxin products can be used to analyze the specifc effects of individual Polymyxin B fractions.

    Mechanism of Action Polymyxin B targets and alters the permeability of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Gram-negative bacteria leading to cell lysis. 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.
    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 was successfully tested to counteract phytopathogenic Gram-negative bacteria growth. Polymyxin reduced growth of different strains of Pseudomonas viridiflava at low concentrations (0.08 µg/ml) whereas Erwinia carotovora growth was inhibited at slightly higher concentrations (0.25 µg/ml) (Selim et al, 2005).
