Water for InjectionsGeneral Notices
(Ph. Eur. monograph 0169)
H2O��18.02��7732-18-5
Ph Eur DEFINITION
Water for the preparation of medicines for parenteral administration when water is used as vehicle (water for injections in bulk) and for dissolving or diluting substances or preparations for parenteral administration (sterilised water for injections).
WATER FOR INJECTIONS IN BULK PRODUCTION
Water for injections in bulk is obtained from water that complies with the regulations on water intended for human consumption laid down by the competent authority or from purified water by distillation in an apparatus of which the parts in contact with the water are of neutral glass, quartz or a suitable metal and which is fitted with an effective device to prevent the entrainment of droplets. The correct maintenance of the apparatus is essential. The first portion of the distillate obtained when the apparatus begins to function is discarded and the distillate is collected.
In order to ensure the appropriate quality of the water, validated procedures and in-process-monitoring of the electrical conductivity and regular microbial monitoring are applied.
Water for injections in bulk is stored and distributed in conditions designed to prevent growth of micro-organisms and to avoid any other contamination. Microbiological monitoring
During production and subsequent storage, appropriate measures are taken to ensure that the microbial count is adequately controlled and monitored. Appropriate alert and action levels are set so as to detect adverse trends. Under normal conditions, an appropriate action level is a microbial count of 10 CFU per 100 ml when determined by filtration through a membrane with a nominal pore size not greater than 0.45 µm, using R2A agar, using at least 200 ml of water for injections in bulk and incubating at 30-35 °C for not less than 5 days. For aseptic processing, stricter alert levels may need to be applied.

Adjust the pH so that after sterilisation it is 7.2 ± 0.2. Sterilise by heating in an autoclave at 121 °C for 15 min.
Growth promotion of R2A agar��— Preparation of test strains. Use standardised stable suspensions of test strains or prepare
them as stated in Table 0169.-1. Seed lot culture maintenance techniques (seed-lot systems) are used so that the viable micro-organisms used for inoculation are not more than 5 passages removed from the original master seed-lot. Grow each of the bacterial strains separately as described in Table 0169.-1. Use buffered sodium chloride-peptone solution pH 7.0 or phosphate buffer solution pH 7.2 to make test suspensions. Use the suspensions within 2 h, or within 24 h if stored at 2-8 °C. As an alternative to preparing and then diluting a fresh suspension of vegetative cells of Bacillus subtilis, a stable spore suspension is prepared and then an appropriate volume of the spore suspension is used for test inoculation. The stable spore suspension may be maintained at 2-8 °C for a validated period of time.
�— Growth promotion. Test each batch of ready-prepared medium and each batch of medium, prepared either from dehydrated medium or from the ingredients described. Inoculate plates of R2A agar separately with a small number (not more than 100 CFU) of the micro-organisms indicated in Table 0169.-1. Incubate under the conditions described in the table. Growth obtained must not differ by a factor greater than 2 from the calculated value for a standardised inoculum. For a freshly prepared inoculum, growth of the micro-organisms must be comparable to that obtained with a previously tested and approved batch of medium.

Total organic carbon (2.2.44)
Maximum 0.5 mg/l. Conductivity
Determine the conductivity off-line or in-line under the following conditions.
EQUIPMENT
Conductivity cell:��— electrodes of a suitable material such as stainless steel; �— cell constant: the cell constant is generally certified by the supplier and is subsequently
verified at suitable intervals using a certified reference solution with a conductivity less than 1500 µS·cm-1 or by comparison with a cell having a certified cell constant. The cell constant is confirmed if the value found is within 2 per cent of the certified value, otherwise re-calibration must be performed.
Conductometer�Accuracy of 0.1 µS·cm-1 or better at the lowest range.
System calibration (conductivity cell and conductometer):�— against one or more suitable certified reference solutions; �— accuracy: within 3 per cent of the measured conductivity plus 0.1 µS·cm-1.
Conductometer calibration�Calibration is carried out for each range of measurement to be used, after disconnection of the conductivity cell, using certified precision resistors or equivalent devices with an uncertainty not greater than 0.1 per cent of the certified value.
If in-line conductivity cells cannot be dismantled, system calibration may be performed against a calibrated conductivity-measuring instrument with a conductivity cell placed close to the cell to be calibrated in the water flow.
Temperature measurement�Tolerance ± 2 °C.
PROCEDURE
©Crown Copyright 2011 3
Stage 1
�1. Measure the conductivity without temperature compensation, recording simultaneously the temperature. Temperature-compensated measurement may be performed after suitable validation.
�2. Using Table 0169.-2, find the closest temperature value that is not greater than the measured temperature. The corresponding conductivity value is the limit at that temperature.
�3. If the measured conductivity is not greater than the value in Table 0169.-2, the water to be examined meets the requirements of the test for conductivity. If the conductivity is higher than the value in Table 0169.-2, proceed with stage 2.
Stage 2
©Crown Copyright 2011 4
�4. Transfer a sufficient amount of the water to be examined (100 ml or more) to a suitable container, and stir the test sample. Adjust the temperature, if necessary, and while maintaining it at 25 ± 1 °C, begin vigorously agitating the test sample while periodically observing the conductivity. When the change in conductivity (due to uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide) is less than 0.1 µS.cm-1 per 5 min, note the conductivity.
�5. If the conductivity is not greater than 2.1 µS.cm-1, the water to be examined meets the requirements of the test for conductivity. If the conductivity is greater than 2.1 µS.cm-1, proceed with stage 3.
Stage 3
�6. Perform this test within approximately 5 min of the conductivity determination in step 5 under stage 2, while maintaining the sample temperature at 25 ± 1 °C. Add a recently prepared saturated solution of potassium chloride R to the test sample (0.3 ml per 100 ml of the test sample), and determine the pH (2.2.3) to the nearest 0.1 pH unit.
�7. Using Table 0169.-3, determine the conductivity limit at the measured pH value in step 6. If the measured conductivity in step 4 under stage 2 is not greater than the conductivity requirements for the pH determined, the water to be examined meets the requirements of the test for conductivity. If either the measured conductivity is greater than this value or the pH is outside the range of 5.0-7.0, the water to be examined does not meet the requirements of the test for conductivity.

CONFIRMATION
The chromatogram obtained with solution (1) shows zones corresponding to those in the
chromatograms obtained with solutions (2) and (3) but shows no zones corresponding to
those in the chromatograms obtained with solutions (4) and (5). The chromatogram obtained
with solution (1) also shows a zone with a very low Rf value (2,4-diaminobutyric acid).
B. Dissolve a quantity containing 125,000 IU in 5 ml of water. Heat 0.5 ml of the solution
with 0.5 ml of chromotropic acid–sulphuric acid solution at 100° for 30 minutes. A purple
colour is produced (distinction from colistin sulphate).
C. Dissolve a quantity containing 625,000 IU in 1 ml of 1M hydrochloric acid and add 0.5 ml
of 0.01M iodine. The colour is discharged (distinction from colistin sulphate) and the
resulting solution yields reaction-A characteristic of sulphates.
(*Reaction A.- Dissolve about 45 mg of the substance to be examined in 5 ml of water R or
use 5 ml of the prescribed solution. Add 1 ml of dilute hydrochloric acid R and 1 ml of
barium chloride solution R1. A white precipitate is formed.)
D. Dissolve a quantity of the substance to be examined equivalent to about 2 mg of sodium
(Na+) in 0.5 ml of water R or use 0.5 ml of the prescribed solution. Add 1.5 ml of
methoxyphenylacetic reagent R and cool in ice-water for 30 min. A voluminous, white,
crystalline precipitate is formed. Place in water at 20 °C and stir for 5 min. The precipitate
does not disappear. Add 1 ml of dilute ammonia R1. The precipitate dissolves completely.
Add 1 ml of ammonium carbonate solution R. No precipitate is formed.)
3. UNIFORMITY OF WEIGHT:
Procedure: Take 20 vials from the sample for analysis. Remove any paper labels from a
container and wash and dry the outside. Open the container and without delay weigh the
container and its contents. Empty the container as completely as possible by gentle tapping,
rinse it if necessary with water R and then with alcohol R and dry at 100-105 °C for 1 h, or,
if the nature of the container precludes heating at this temperature, dry at a lower
temperature to constant mass. Allow to cool in a desiccator and weigh. The mass of the
contents is the difference between the weighings. Repeat the procedure with another 19
containers. Determine the average mass.
Acceptance criteria: Not more than 2 of the individual masses deviate from the average
mass of 20 units by more than 10 % and none deviates by more than 20%.

11. ASSAY: (By Microbial Assay)
Sample preparation:
Take 10 vials from the sample for analysis. Remove any paper labels from a container and
wash and dry the outside. Open the container and without delay weigh the container and its
contents. Empty the container as completely as possible by gentle tapping, rinse it if
necessary with water R and then with alcohol R and dry at 100-105 °C for 1 h, or, if the
nature of the container precludes heating at this temperature, dry at a lower temperature to
constant mass. Allow to cool in desiccators and weigh. The mass of the contents is the
difference between the weighings. Repeat the procedure with another 9 containers. Determine
the average mass. Mix the contents of the 10 containers.
Proceudre (By Cylinder plate method):
Liquefy a medium suitable for the conditions of the assay and inoculate it at a suitable
temperature, for example 48 °C to 50 °C for vegetative forms, with a known quantity of a
suspension of micro-organisms sensitive to the antibiotic to be examined, such that clearly
defined zones of inhibition of suitable diameter are produced with the concentrations of the
antibiotic used for the assay. Immediately pour into Petri dishes or large rectangular dishes a
quantity of the inoculated medium to form a uniform layer 2-5 mm thick. Alternatively, the
medium may consist of 2 layers, only the upper layer being inoculated. Store the dishes so
that no appreciable growth or death of the micro-organisms occurs before the dishes are used
and so that the surface of the medium is dry at the time of use.
Using the solvent and the buffer solution indicated in Table 2.7.2.-1, prepare solutions of the
reference substance and of the antibiotic to be examined having known concentrations and
COLISAN - 1
Colistimethate Sodium for Injection BP 1 MIU
(Lyophilized )
presumed to be of equal activity. Apply the solutions to the surface of the medium, for
example, in sterile cylinders of porcelain, stainless steel or other suitable material, or in
cavities prepared in the agar. The same volume of solution must be added to each cylinder or
cavity. Alternatively, use sterile absorbent paper discs of suitable quality; impregnate the
discs with the solutions of the reference substance or the solutions of the antibiotic to be
examined and place on the surface of the agar.
In order to assess the validity of the assay, use not fewer than 3 doses of the reference
substance and 3 doses of the antibiotic to be examined having the same presumed activity as
the doses of the reference substance. It is preferable to use a series of doses in geometric
progression. In routine assays when the linearity of the system has been demonstrated over an
adequate number of experiments using a three-point assay, a two-point assay may be
sufficient, subject to agreement by the competent authority. However, in all cases of dispute,
a three-point assay as described above must be applied.
Arrange the solutions on each Petri dish or on each rectangular dish according to a
statistically suitable design, except for small Petri dishes that cannot accommodate more than
6 solutions, arrange the solutions of the antibiotic to be examined and the solutions of the
reference substance in an alternate manner to avoid interaction of the more concentrated
solutions.
Incubate at a suitable temperature for about 18 h. A period of diffusion prior to incubation,
usually 1-4 h, at room temperature or at about 4 °C, as appropriate, may be used to minimize
the effects of the variation in time between the application of the solutions and to improve
the regression slope. Measure the diameters with a precision of at least 0.1 mm or the areas
of the circular inhibition zones with a corresponding precision and calculate the potency
using appropriate statistical methods. Use in each assay the number of replications per dose
sufficient to ensure the required precision. The assay may be repeated and the results
combined statistically to obtain the required precision and to ascertain whether the potency of
the antibiotic to be examined is not less than the minimum required.

PHARMACODYNAMICS:
Pharmacology
Polymyxins are selective cationic agents acting on certain bacteria. The bacterial cell
membrane is composed principally of phospholipid and provides the target site for polymyxin
activity. Disruption of the membrane results in profound physiological effects which are
lethal to the bacterium. The cell is no longer capable of controlling the influx and efflux of
cations, e.g. potassium and sodium. The selectivity of polymyxins for gram- negative bacteria
is a result of the presence of a hydrophobic outer membrane. Polymyxins bind to the lipid A
moiety of endotoxin causing disorganization of the outer membrane altering the cell’s
permeability to various hydrophobic substances including antibiotics, e.g. erythromycin,
trimethoprim
PHARMACOKINETICS:
Absorption from the gastrointestinal tract does not occur appreciably in the normal individual
though patients with disturbed gut mucosa, e.g.patients given cytotoxic drugs, may behave
differently.
Colistimethate is converted to the base in vivo, has a plasma half-life of 4-8 h, and is bound
slightly to plasma protein. Half-life values of colistimethate sodium after intramuscular or
intravenous administration to be 2.75-3 h and 1.5h. Colistin crosses the placental barrier.
The route of excertion is via kidney with about 40% of the dose being excreted in the first 8
h. Only 80% of the dose can be recovered unchanged in the urine, and no biliary excretion
has been demonstrated.

COMPOSITION
Each vial contains:
Colistimethate Sodium BP ............... 1 MIU
Excipients......................................... q.s.
INDICATIONS:
Colistimethate Sodium is used for:
1. Respiratory tract infection
2. Systemic infections
3. Bladder irrigation
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:
Colistin is a polymyxin antibacterial that has been used in the treatment of severe Gram-
negative infections, especially those due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, although other drugs
are usually preferred.Colistimethate sodium is used by inhalation in the management of
respiratory infections, especially in patients with cystic fibrosis.
Colistin is given parenterally, as colistimethate sodium, by intramuscular injection or slow
intravenous injection or infusion.
In the UK, usual doses are 1 to 2million units given 3 times daily (maximum dose 6 million
units in 24 hours) for patients weighing more than 60 kg; those weighing up to 60 kg may be
given 50 000 units/kg daily in 3 divided doses up to a maximum of 75000 units/kg daily. In
the USA, the usual dose is equivalent to colistin base 2.5 to 5 mg/kg daily in 2 to 4 divided
doses. Monitoring of plasma concentrations is required in some patients.
Colistimethate sodium may also be given by inhalation in respiratory infections as an adjunct
to systemic antibacterial therapy.
The usual dose is 1 to 2 million units given 2 or 3 times daily. A 3-week course of 2 million
units twice daily may be given initially, increased to a maximum of 2 million units given 3
times daily for up to 3 months in frequent recurrent infections; 1 to 2 million units twice daily
may be given for long-term therapy. Solutions for inhalation should be freshly prepared

(Lyophilized )
Colistimethate sodium has also been given by subcon-junctival injection and as a bladder
instillation. Both colistin sulfate and colistimethate sodium have been applied topically, often
with other antibacterials, in the management of ear, eye, and skin infections.
Directions for reconstitution
Colistimethate sodium is reconstituted with water for injections or 0.9% Sodium chloride.
The reconstituted solution should be used immediately.
The reconstituted solution is stored for 24 hours in the refrigeration at 20C to 8
0 C or up to 8
hours when stored at temperatures not exceeding 250 C.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Patients known to be sensitive to Colistimethate Sodium.
Dosage must be modified in patients with impaired renal function.
Curariform muscle relaxants must be used with extreme caution
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS:
Cough and bronchospasm may occur during inhalation; cases of sore throat or sore mouth,
possibly due to Hypersensitivity or superinfection with Candida spp., have also been reported.
Neurotoxic reactions such as dizziness, confusion, and visual disturbances can occur during
parenteral therapy and patients so affected should not drive or operate machinery.
Pain and local irritation are reported to be less troublesome after intramuscular injection of
colistimethate sodium than with Colistin sulfate or polymyxin B.
Overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms, particularly Proteus spp., may occur after prolonged
use.
Plasma-concentration monitoring during systemic treatment is recommended in neonates,
patients with renal impairment, and those with cystic fibrosis. Peak plasma-colistin
concentrations of 10 to 15 mg/litre (about 125 to 200 units/mL) are recommended.
INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER MEDICINE:
It may enhance the action of neuromuscular blockers possibly resulting in respiratory
depression and apnoea, and concurrent use should be avoided. Additive neurotoxicity and/or
COLISAN - 1

(Lyophilized )
nephrotoxicity may occur if polymyxins are given with other potentially neurotoxic and/or
nephrotoxic. Drugs including aminoglycosides and cefaloridine; concurrent use should also
be avoided.
OVERDOSE AND TREATMENT:
Overdose can results in renal insufficiency, muscle weakness and apnea.
There is no specific antidote. In cases of overdosage, treatment should be supportive, and
forced diuresis, prolonged hemodialysis, or peritoneal dialysis used to increase the rate of
elimination.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Pregnancy: There is no evidence to suggest that the drug is teratogenic when used during
pregnancy.
Lactation: A small amount of the drug appears in breast milk and , as the drug may be
absorbed from the gut in the newborn, mothers being treated with it should not breast- feed.

PRECLINICAL TRIAL
Data on potential genotoxicity are limited and carcinogenicity data for colistimethate sodium
are lacking. Colistimethate sodium has been shown to induce chromosomal aberrations in
human lymphocytes in vitro. This effect may be related to a reduction in mitotic index, which
was also observed.
Reproductive toxicity studies in rats and mice do not indicate teratogenic properties.
However, colistimethate sodium given intramuscularly during organogenesis to rabbits at
4.15 and 9.3 mg/kg resulted in talipes varus in 2.6 and 2.9% of foetuses respectively. These
doses are 0.5 and 1.2 times the maximum daily human dose. In addition, increased
reabsorption occurred at 9.3mg/kg.
There are no other preclinical safety data of relevance to the prescriber that are additional to
safety data derived from patient exposure and already included in other sections of the SPC.

In vitro pharmacodynamic properties of colistin and colistin methanesulfonate against
Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from patients with cystic fibrosis.
Li J1, Turnidge J, Milne R, Nation RL, Coulthard K.
Author information
Abstract
The in vitro pharmacodynamic properties of colistin and colistin methanesulfonate were
investigated by studying the MICs, time-kill kinetics, and postantibiotic effect (PAE) against
mucoid and nonmucoid strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from patients with cystic
fibrosis. Twenty-three clinical strains, including multiresistant strains, and one type strain
were selected for MIC determination. Eleven strains were resistant; MICs for these strains
were >128 mg/liter. For the susceptible strains, MICs of colistin ranged from 1 to 4 mg/liter,
while the MICs of colistin methanesulfonate were significantly higher and ranged from 4 to
16 mg/liter. The time-kill kinetics were investigated with three strains at drug concentrations
ranging from 0.5 to 64 times the MIC. Colistin showed extremely rapid killing, resulting in
complete elimination at the highest concentrations within 5 min, while colistin
methanesulfonate killed more slowly, requiring a concentration of 16 times the MIC to
achieve complete killing within 24 h. Colistin exhibited a significant PAE of 2 to 3 h at 16
times the MIC against the three strains after 15 min of exposure. For colistin
methanesulfonate, PAEs were shorter at the concentrations tested. Colistin methanesulfonate
had lower overall bactericidal and postantibiotic activities than colistin, even when adjusted
for differences in MICs. Our data suggest that doses of colistin methanesulfonate higher than
the recommended 2 to 3 mg/kg of body weight every 12 h may be required for the effective
treatment of P. aeruginosa infections in cystic fibrosis patients.

Colistin interactions with the mammalian urothelium.
Lewis JR1, Lewis SA.
Author information
Abstract
Here we describe the effect of colistin on the barrier function of the mammalian urinary
bladder epithelium. Addition of colistin to the mucosal solution of the rabbit urinary bladder
epithelium (urothelium) resulted in an increase in the transepithelial conductance. The
magnitude of the increase in transepithelial conductance was dependent on the membrane
voltage, concentration of colistin, and presence of divalent cations in the bath solution. The
initial site of action of colistin was at the apical membrane. Colistin increased the membrane
conductance only when the apical membrane potential was cell interior negative. The more
negative the membrane potential, the larger the conductance increase. The concentration
dependence of the conductance increase saturated, suggesting a membrane binding site.
Divalent cations decreased the magnitude of the conductance increase. This divalent cation
action occurred at two sites: one in competition with colistin for a membrane binding site,
and the other by rapidly blocking the induced conductance. At short exposure times, the
increase in conductance was reversed by either removing colistin from the bath or changing
the voltage so that the apical membrane was cell interior positive. At long exposure times, the
increase was only partially reversible by voltage or removal from the bath. This finding
suggests that at long exposure times, there is a toxic effect of colistin on the urothelium.

Colistin treatment in patients with ICU-acquired infections caused by multiresistant
Gram-negative bacteria: the renaissance of an old antibiotic.
Michalopoulos AS1, Tsiodras S, Rellos K, Mentzelopoulos S, Falagas ME.
Author information
Abstract
A retrospective case series study was performed in a 30-bed general intensive care unit (ICU)
of a tertiary care hospital to assess the effectiveness and safety of colistin in 43 critically ill
patients with ICU-acquired infections caused by multiresistant Gram-negative bacteria.
Various ICU-acquired infections, mainly pneumonia and bacteraemia caused by
multiresistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and/or Acinetobacter baumannii, were
treated with colistin. Good clinical response (cure or improvement) was noted in 74.4% of
patients. Deterioration of renal function occurred in 18.6% of patients during colistin therapy.
Nephrotoxicity was elevated significantly in those patients with a history of renal failure
(62.5%). All-cause mortality amounted to 27.9%. In this group of critically ill patients, an age
of >50 years (OR, 5.4; 95% CI 1.3-24.9) and acute renal failure (OR, 8.2; 95% CI 2.9-23.8)
were independent predictors of mortality. Colistin should be considered as a treatment option
in critically ill patients with infection caused by multiresistant Gram-negative bacilli.

Abstract
The emergence of multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria and the lack of new antibiotics
to combat them have led to the revival of polymyxins, an old class of cationic, cyclic
polypeptide antibiotics. Polymyxin B and polymyxin E (colistin) are the 2 polymyxins used
in clinical practice. Most of the reintroduction of polymyxins during the last few years is
related to colistin. The polymyxins are active against selected gram-negative bacteria,
including Acinetobacter species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella species, and
Enterobacter species. These drugs have been used extensively worldwide for decades for
local use. However, parenteral use of these drugs was abandoned approximately 20 years ago
in most countries, except for treatment of patients with cystic fibrosis, because of reports of
common and serious nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity. Recent studies of patients who
received intravenous polymyxins for the treatment of serious P. aeruginosa and Acinetobacter
baumannii infections of various types, including pneumonia, bacteremia, and urinary tract
infections, have led to the conclusion that these antibiotics have acceptable effectiveness and
considerably less toxicity than was reported in old studies.
