Colistin B
Colistin B (Polymyxin E2) is a major component of Colistin (HY-113678) and also an antibacterial agent active against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Colistin B exerts apoptotic effects on human renal proximal tubular cells. Colistin B induces mild to moderate renal histological damage in mouse models. Colistin B can be used in the research of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections.

Biological Activity
Colistin B (0-32 mg/L; 18-20 h) inhibits the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Enterobacter cloacae strains in vitro with MIC values ranging from 0.25 to 4 μg/mL[1].
Colistin B (0.75 mM) induces significantly less in vitro apoptotic cell death in human kidney proximal tubular HK-2 cells, with 67.8% cell viability at a concentration of 0.75 mM[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Colistin B (12 mg/kg; s.c.; every 2 hours; accumulated dose of 72 mg/kg) causes mild to moderate renal histological damage in mice[1].
