DESCRIPTION
Trimethoprim Sulfate and Polymyxin B Sulfate Ophthalmic Solution is a
sterile antimicrobial solution
for topical ophthalmic use. Trimethoprim sulfate,
2,4-diamino-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl)pyrimidine
sulfate (2:1), occurs as a white, odorless, crystalline powder with a
molecular weight of 678.72. The
structural formula is as follows:
Polymyxin B sulfate is the sulfate salt of polymyxin B1 and B2 which
are produced by the growth of
Bacillus polymyxa (Prazmowski) Migula (Fam. Bacillaceae). It has a
potency of not less than 6,000
polymyxin B units per mg, calculated on an anhydrous basis. The
structural formula is as follows:
EACH ML CONTAINS:
ACTIVES: Trimethoprim Sulfate equivalent to Trimethoprim 1 mg (0.1%)
and Polymyxin B Sulfate
10,000 units. Preservative: Benzalkonium Chloride 0.04 mg (0.004%).
INACTIVES: Sodium Chloride,
Sulfuric Acid and Sodium Hydroxide may be added to adjust pH (3.0 to
5.5), and Purified Water USP.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Trimethoprim is a synthetic antibacterial drug active against a wide
variety of aerobic gram-positive and
gram-negative ophthalmic pathogens. Trimethoprim blocks the production
of tetrahydrofolic acid from
dihydrofolic acid by binding to and reversibly inhibiting the enzyme
dihydrofolate reductase. This
binding is very much stronger for the bacterial enzyme than for the
corresponding mammalian enzyme.
For that reason, trimethoprim selectively interferes with bacterial
biosynthesis of nucleic acids and
proteins.
Polymyxin B, a cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic, is rapidly bactericidal
for a variety of gram-negative
organisms, especially _Pseudomonas aeruginosa_. It increases the
permeability of the bacterial cell
membrane by interacting with the phospholipid components of the
membrane.
When used topically, trimethoprim and polymyxin B absorption through
