Structure–Interaction Relationship of Polymyxins with the Membrane of Human Kidney Proximal Tubular Cells

Abstract excerpt

Multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria are a serious global threat to human health. Polymyxins are increasingly used in patients as a last-line therapy to treat infections caused by these life-threatening ‘superbugs’. Unfortunately, polymyxin-induced nephrotoxicity is the major dose-limiting factor and understanding its mechanism is crucial for the development of novel, safer polymyxins. Here, we undertook...
