HELSINKI, July 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The emergence of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria has necessitated the use of polymyxins as the agents of last resort despite their known nephrotoxicity. Now Northern Antibiotics Ltd, a Finnish biotech company, has developed novel polymyxin derivatives which in early preclinical studies show signs of lower nephrotoxicity.

The derivatives contain three positive charges only, while polymyxin B and colistin have five. They bind to the isolated brush-border membrane of rat kidney at an affinity which is only 1/5-1/7 of that for polymyxin B. In vivo rat studies also show remarkable differences in parameters that are considered to indicate early kidney damage, such as serum urea nitrogen, albuminuria and cylindrouria.
