Oxinobactin, a siderophore analogue to enterobactin involving 8-hydroxyquinoline subunits: Synthesis and iron binding ability
摘要:
Oxinobactin, a siderophore analogue to enterobactin but possessing 8-hydroxyquinoline instead of catechol complexing subunits, has been synthesized starting from L-serine and 8-hydroxyquinoline. Comparative iron binding studies showed that oxinobactin is as effective as enterobactin for the complexation of Fe(III) at physiological pH but with improved complexing ability at acidic pH.
