An educational, source-based comparison of Colistin (Polymyxin E) and Sincalide (Kinevac) — how each peptide works, what it's researched for, and what to know before going deeper.
Last-resort lipopeptide antibiotic for multidrug-resistant Gram-negatives.
Cationic cyclic lipopeptide that disrupts the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria by binding lipid A of LPS, causing membrane permeability and cell death.
- Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas
- • FDA-approved.
- • Nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity dose-limiting.
Synthetic C-terminal octapeptide of cholecystokinin for gallbladder imaging.
Synthetic CCK-8 that binds CCK-A receptors on gallbladder smooth muscle, triggering contraction; used to assess gallbladder ejection fraction in cholescintigraphy.
- Gallbladder ejection fraction (HIDA scan)
- Pancreatic secretion testing
- Small bowel transit imaging
- • FDA-approved.
- • Abdominal cramping, nausea, diarrhea common; contraindicated in suspected gallstone obstruction.
