SPR741 (NAB741) is a cationic peptide derived from polymyxin B and is a potentiator molecule. SPR741 increases the permeability of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and is used to treat severe Gram-negative bacteria infections. SPR741 inhibits multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. The spectrum of activity of the antibiotic can be widened when used in combination with SPR741[1][2]. | [in vivo]
SPR741 has the ability to permeabilize the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, thus sensitizing them to hydrophobic antibiotics. SPR741 has a significantly safety profile of compared to that of polymyxin B, which suffers severe, dose-limiting nephrotoxicity in humans. In multiday rodent and nonhuman primate studies, polymyxin B exhibited nephrotoxicity at a far-lower exposure-normalized dose than SPR741[1]. | [References]
