DESIGN AND SYNTHESIS OF ARTIFICIAL SIDEROPHORES - LYSINE-BASED TRISCATECHOLATE LIGANDS AS A MODEL FOR ENTEROBACTIN

An enantiomeric pair of triscatecholate ligands have been prepared as a model for siderophore enterobactin, using protected derivatives of L- or D-lysine, 1,2-diaminoethane and 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid. The ligands have greater chemical stability and higher water solubility than enterobactin, and f...

Summary:An enantiomeric pair of triscatecholate ligands have been prepared as a model for siderophore enterobactin, using protected derivatives of L- or D-lysine, 1,2-diaminoethane and 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid. The ligands have greater chemical stability and higher water solubility than enterobactin, and form chiral complexes with iron(III), as enterobactin does.
