This study on the structure-activity relationship of polymyxin B, a cyclic peptide antibiotic, used sixteen synthetic polymyxin B-3 analogs including alanine scanning analogs to elucidate the contribution of the side chains to antimicrobial activity and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) binding. Of these analogs, [Ala(5)]-polymyxin B-3 showed greatly reduced antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aerughtosa) with MIC values of 4-16 nmol/ml, suggesting that the Dab (alpha,gamma-diaminobutyric acid) residue at position 5 is the most important residue contributing to bactericidal activity. The antibacterial contribution of Dab when located within the lactam ring (positions 5, 8 and 9) was greater than when located outside the ring (positions 1 and 3). [D-Ala(6)]-, [L-Phe(6)]-, [Ala(7)]-, and [Gly(7)]-polymyxin B, analogs retained potent antimicrobial activity, indicating that neither the reduction of hydrophobic character of the D-Phe(6) -Leu(7) region nor the D-configuration at position 6 is indispensable for antimicrobial activity. LPS binding studies showed that decreased hydrophobicity of the lactam ring had little effect, but the N-gamma-amino function of the Dab residues at position 1, 3, 5, 8 and 9 greatly affected LIPS binding, with the contribution of Dabs being the most significant.
