β-Cyclodextrin Bound Retrohydroxamate Ferrioxamines. Chiral Iron(III) Coordination and Biological Activity of Synthetic Siderophores
Two β-cyclodextrin bound synthetic siderophores that mimic linear and cyclic desferrioxamines are prepared.These synthetic siderophores form stable 1:1 iron(III) complexes with a Δ-selective coordination and show the growth promotion activity when tested with Aureobacterium flavescens.
