Description

White or almost white, hygroscopic powder.


ChEBI: A mixture where R = H or Me. Colistin in which each of the primary amino groups is converted to the corresponding aminomethanesulfonic acid sodium salt, commonly by the action of formaldehyde followed by sodium bisulfite. A polymyxin antibiotic derivative, it is used in the treatment of severe infections, particularly of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii.


Two forms of colistins, colistin sulfate and colistin methanesulfonate sodium (Colistin sodium methanesulfonate)(CMS-Na), are commercially available. CMS-Na is administered intravenously, and CMS, the free base of CMS-Na consisting of CMS A and CMS B, is hydrolyzed in vivo to form active colistin A and colistin B6 . Colistin first became available for clinical use in 1959 and has been used worldwide for several decades[5].


Human poison by intramuscular route. Experimental poison by intramuscular, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, and intravenous routes. Mildly toxic by ingestion. An experimental teratogen. Human systemic effects by intramuscular route: convulsions or effect on seizure threshold, change in motor activity, change in lrldney tubules, and urine volume decrease or anuria. Experimental reproductive effects. Used as an antibiotic. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of NOx, SOx, and NazO

Colistin sodium methanesulfonate Use and Manufacturing

antibacterial


Colistin sodium methanesulfate is used to permeabilize bacterial cell membranes and to study mannose-resistant haemagglutination. It is used to study effective treatments of P. aeruginosa infections in cystic fibrosis patients and to study the pharmacokinetics and BAL concentration of colistin in critically ill patients.
