There is little data available for the metabolism of polymyxin B[A176432]. In one study, <1% of polymyxin B was eliminated through the kidneys and it had not been metabolised[A176432]. Polymyxin B has also been found in bile, not having undergone metabolic processes[A176390].
Nephrotoxicity can occur in patients as polymyxin B is thought to accumulate in renal cells after renal tubular reabsorption[A176390]. This accumulation can lead to apoptosis of renal cells and decrease in renal function[A176399]. In recent studies, acute kidney injury (AKI) has been seen in 31.3% to 39.4% of patients receiving polymyxin B[A176399]. Overdose cases can cause neuromuscular block leading to apnea, muscular weakness, vertigo, transient facial parasthesia, slurred speed, vasomotor instability, visual disturbance, confusion, psychosis, and respiratory arrest[F4151]. Renal failure has also been seen through decreased urine output, and increased serum concentrations of blood urea nitrogen[F4151]. Overdose of polymyxin B is treated by stopping the drug and beginning symptomatic treatment[F4151]. Intravenous administration of mannitol may enhance renal clearance, and hemodialysis may manage renal complications[F4151]. Safety of polymyxin B has not been established in pregnancy, breast feeding, pediatrics, and geriatrics[F4151]. Polymyxin B should no be used in pregnancy unless the benefit outweighs the risk[F4151]. Nursing mothers should either stop nursing or stop polymyxin B treatment depending on the risks to both the mother and child[F4151]. Pediatric patients should be frequently monitored for renal function and no dosing information is available in children under 2 years of age[F4151]. Geriatric patients should have renal function assessed before and regularly during therapy[F4151].
Polymyxin B is 79% to 92% bound to proteins[F4151]. Polymyxin B is likely 92 to 99% protein bound in circulation, though the exact proteins have not been identified[A176420].

吸收
通过口服途径给药不会导致吸收。
Administration by the oral route does not lead to absorption[A176426].
Polymyxin B is proposed to be primarily eliminated through renal tubular reabsorption and non-renal pathways[A176390,F4151]. Urine collection in humans and animals show <5% of polymyxin B eliminated from the kidneys[A176390]. However, a Canadian product monograph states the drug is primarily eliminated through the kidneys and that 60% of polymyxin B is recovered in the urine[F4151]. This discrepancy can be explained by the 12 to 24 hour lag time between administration and significant elimination of polymyxin B[F4151]. Non-renal elimination is not well understood but all 4 components of polymyxin B have been detected in bile[A176390].
1 compartment models estimate the volume of distribution to be 34.3L to 47.2L[A176390]. However, the general consensus is that the volume of distribution is yet to be determined[F4151].

The present invention provides (1) an endotoxin detoxifying material comprising a fibrous carrier to which Polymyxin is fixed, (2) an endotoxin detoxifying material comprising a carrier to which Polymyxin and a basic nitrogen atom are fixed, and (3) a method of removing endotoxin from a fluid by contacting the fluid with the endotoxin detoxifying material comprising a carrier to which Polymyxin is fixed. The present invention makes it possible to contact blood with Polymixin directly and safely and gives a new method of therapy of endotoxemia or prophylaxis of endotoxemia.
