Product Information

• Name: (1,4-Dioxidoquinoxaline-2,3-diyl)dimethanol
• Synonyms: 2,3-Quinoxalinedimethanol-1,4-dioxide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Polymyxin B is a cationic peptide antibiotic that is effective in the treatment of infectious diseases. It has been shown to inhibit growth of Gram-negative bacteria by binding to the outer membrane and disrupting osmotic balance. Polymyxin B has been shown to be toxic to liver cells, but it can be used as an antimicrobial agent in combination with ethylene diamine and clastogenic agents such as hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide. This drug also has genotoxic effects. Polymyxin B has high resistance to hydrolysis by hydroxyl group-containing enzymes, making it a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent that is active against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, and mycobacteria.
