Polymyxin B nonapeptide

Molecular Weight:

963.15

Molecular Formula:

C43H74N14O11

CAS NO:

86408-36-8

Sequence:

NH2-Thr-Dab-Dab-Dab-d-Phe-Leu-Dab-Dab-Thr-OH(Lactam: Dab3-Thr10)

Functions and Effects:

Polymyxin B nonapeptide is a cationic cyclic peptide composed of 9 amino acids, featuring 5 Dab residues in its sequence. Its primary functional group is the amino group, and it is a polypeptide derived from the antibiotic polymyxin B. Polymyxin B nonapeptide interacts with the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, enhancing membrane permeability by promoting hydrophobic diffusion. Notably, Polymyxin B nonapeptide exhibits low toxicity, lacks direct bactericidal activity, yet retains its ability to sensitize Gram-negative bacteria to several antibiotics by permeabilizing their outer membranes.
