Product Description

Colistin sulfate (Belcomycin; Polymixin E), originally isolated from B. polymyxa, is a polypeptide antibiotic and apoptosis inducer, also acts as a NADH quinone oxidoreductase inhibitor. It inhibits gram-negative bacteria by binding to lipopolysaccharides and phospholipids in the outer cell membrane of gram-negative bacteria.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Colistins work like detergents to kill gram-negative bacteria. This mechanism includes competitively displacing divalent cations (calcium and magnesium) from the negatively charged phosphate groups of membrane lipids, as well as interaction with the lipopolysaccharides and phospholipids of the outer membrane through electrostatic interference[1]. Colistin, also known as polymyxin E, is a good treatment for infections brought on by gram-negative bacteria that are resistant to many drugs because of its quick bacterial killing, limited spectrum of action, and concomitant delayed development of resistance. Commercially, colistin comes in two forms: colistin methanesulfonate (sodium) for parenteral use and colistin (sulfate), primarily for topical use[2].
ln Vivo
Following intraperitoneal instillation, slow and sustained CMS conversion leads to high concentrations of colistin in rat ELF[3]. Piglets are frequently given colonistin, however both under- and overdosing are common. The fecal microbiota of piglets is not significantly disrupted by colistin overdoses or underdoses, and chromosomal resistance in the predominant E. coli population is seldom selected for[4].
Animal Protocol
Rats: Sterile 0.9% sodium chloride is used to prepare fresh dose solutions of colistin methanesulfonate (sodium) and colistin sulfate. Colistin methanesulfonate (CMS) or sulfate solutions are injected bolus-xstyle through the jugular vein cannula for the intravenous studies. The method for pulmonary administration is called intratracheal (i.t.) instillation. CMS is given intravenously to animals at doses of 14 mg/kg, 28 mg/kg, or 56 mg/kg of body weight. Colistin is given intraperitoneally (i.v.) to rats in an independent study at doses of 0.21 mg/kg, 0.41 mg/kg, or 0.62 mg/kg[3].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
