Description

Acinetobactin CAS NO 160472-93-5 is a specialized siderophore compound originally identified in *Acinetobacter baumannii*. This molecule is of significant interest for its role in iron acquisition and its potential as a research tool in microbiology and medicinal chemistry. It serves as a critical reagent for scientists studying bacterial virulence, iron metabolism, and novel antimicrobial strategies. Key users include research institutions, pharmaceutical R&D departments, and biotechnology companies focused on infectious disease and microbial physiology.

Application

• Microbiological Research: Essential for studying iron-uptake mechanisms, siderophore biology, and bacterial pathogenesis in model organisms.
• Antimicrobial Development: Used as a reference standard or starting point in the discovery of novel antibiotics and anti-virulence agents targeting iron-scavenging pathways.
• Biochemical Assays: Employed in vitro to investigate metal chelation, redox chemistry, and protein-siderophore interactions.
• Academic & Pharmaceutical R&D: A key tool for fundamental research in microbiology, immunology, and drug discovery programs focused on Gram-negative bacteria.
