Commercial colistin sulphomethate sodium (CSMS) and sodium polymyxin B methanesulfphonate (SPBMS) were shown by electrophoresis to be composed of various fractions probably differing in the degree of sulphomethylation of the free amino groups. CSMS and SPBMS were less active weight for weight than the parent antibiotics in vitro but activity increased when solutions at neutral pH were heated, the increases being related to the temperature and length of heating. Electrophoresis suggested that selective hydrolysis of sulphomethyl groups had taken place to cause these increases in activity. This hydrolysis occurred more rapidly in human plasma at 37[degree] and examination of the antibiotic fractions excreted in the urine suggested that this hydrolysis also took place in the body to a greater extent than in simple aqueous solutions. In contrast to CSMS, injection of SPBMS caused a high incidence of severe localized pain and other undesirable side effects.
