Quantitative purity testing is not performed on this product. The minimum activity is 11,500 units per milligram. The maximum allowable related substances is 5.5%. These values vary from lot to lot and are reported in the product Certificate of Analysis. The amount of powder in each vial may be determined by dividing the number of units in a given package size by the lot specific activity results. For example, 10000000 units / 11500 IU per milligram = 869.6 mg per vial. Please see the link below to review a sample or lot specific Certificate:

Application
Colistin sodium methanesulfate is used to permeabilize bacterial cell membranes and to study mannose-resistant haemagglutination.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Colistin is a cationic, multicomponent lipopeptide antibiotic. It consists of a cyclic heptapeptide with tripeptide side chain, acylated at the N terminus by a fatty acid. It exhibits a potent anti-endotoxin.[1][2] Colistin interacts with the anionic LPS molecules and displaces calcium and magnesium ions. It solubilzes the cytoplasmic membrane resulting in leakage of cytosol which contributes to the bactericidal effect.[3][1]
Mode of Action: Binds to lipids on the cell cytoplasmic membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and disrupts the cell wall integrity.
Antimicrobial spectrum: Gram-negative bacteria.
Antimicrobial spectrum: Gram-negative bacteria.

One of the greatest achievements of modern medicine is the development of antibiotics against life-threatening infections, but the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram negative bacteria has drastically narrowed down the therapeutic options against them. This limitation has led clinicians to

Infections caused by multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria have caused a resurgence of interest in colistin. To date, information about pharmacokinetics of colistin is very limited in critically ill patients, and no attempts have been made to evaluate its concentration in BAL.
