Description

Vulnibactin CAS NO 156368-88-6 is a specialized siderophore compound of significant interest in advanced biochemical and microbiological research. Its primary value lies in its high-affinity iron-chelating properties, which are critical for studying bacterial iron acquisition mechanisms and host-pathogen interactions. This product is essential for researchers and developers in pharmaceutical discovery, microbiology, and bioinorganic chemistry who require precise tools for investigating virulence factors and developing novel therapeutic strategies.

Application

• Microbiological Research: Fundamental studies on bacterial iron metabolism, siderophore-mediated iron uptake pathways, and microbial virulence.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Investigation of novel anti-infective agents targeting bacterial iron-scavenging systems as a strategy to combat antibiotic resistance.
• Host-Pathogen Interaction Studies: Used in models to understand how pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and others acquire iron from host environments.
• Bioinorganic Chemistry: Serves as a model ligand for studying the coordination chemistry of iron(III) and other metals in biological systems.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Potential use in creating assays to detect specific bacterial siderophores or related virulence factors.
• Agricultural Research: Exploration of siderophore roles in plant-microbe interactions and biocontrol applications.

Quality Control

Our Vulnibactin is produced under stringent conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research applications. Quality is verified through a comprehensive suite of analytical techniques, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting identity, purity, and other critical parameters.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term stability, consider storage under an inert atmosphere.
