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.

Description

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 Vitro

SPR741 potentiates antibiotics that are substrates of the AcrAB-TolC efflux pump in E. coli, effectively circumventing the contribution of this pump to intrinsic antibiotic resistance. The intrinsic resistance of E. coli to certain antibiotics that is mediated by both the outer membrane and the AcrAB-TolC efflux system can be overcome, or circumvented, by combining the antibiotic with SPR741 but that potentiation of intrinsic resistance due primarily to efflux may be limited[1].
SPR741 lacks significant antibacterial activity as a stand-alone agent but interacts with the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria to increase permeability and thereby improve the accumulation of coadministered antibiotics inside the pathogen[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

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].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
