Molecular Weight: 2801.27
Molecular Structure:

Property:
Melting point 200-220 ºC. There are two
forms of colistin available commercially: colistin sulfate
and colistimethate sodium (colistin methanesulfonate sodium,
colistin sulfomethate sodium). Colistin sulfate is cationic; colistimethate sodium is anionic.
Colistin sulfate is
stable, but colistimethate sodium is readily hydrolysed to a
variety of methanesulfonated derivatives. Colistin sulfate
and colistimethate sodium are eliminated from the body by
different routes. With respect to Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
colistimethate is the inactive prodrug of colistin. The two
drugs are not interchangeable.
