ABSTRACTA number of companies manufacture Polymyxin B (cas 1404-26-8) using United States Pharmacopeia (USP) metrics, rather than chemical composition, to report biological activity. Given that polymyxin B contains several different components, it is unknown whether pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic variability exists between the different brands and whether USP metrics capture this variability. Here we investigated the composition of polymyxin B obtained from four manufacturers (Sigma-Aldrich, AK Scientific, USP and MP Biomedicals) and evaluated their rate and extent of killing against multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae using in vitro static time–kill experiments. Ultraviolet (UV) fingerprinting and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis revealed similarities and differences between component distributions. The significant differences between products, based on UV fingerprinting and LC-MS/MS, did not translate into pharmacodynamic differences at the three concentrations evaluated. The aggregate polymyxin B concentration, rather than that of the individual components, influences overall bacterial killing.
