The comparison of siderophore complex redox potentials with those of physiological reductants may aid in the clarification of the mechanism of iron metabolism. In this paper, a new chiral tris-catecholamide compound N, N′, N ″-tris-(2, 3-dihydroxybenzoyl)-1, 1, 1-tris- (L-methioninemehyl)-ethane or H6L (11) has been synthesised in nine steps, and may mimic the release of iron from enterobactin to the agents which are directly involved in cell ...
