23-Dihydroxybenzoicacid

23-Dihydroxybenzoic acid was used to study the complexes of manganese with aliphatic and aromatic polyhydroxy ligands in basic media by electrochemical spectrophotometric and magnetic methods. It was used in isolation of new siderophore named vulnibactin from low iron cultures ofVibrio vulnificus a human pathogen. It was used as cocrystal former to study the influence of position isomerism on the co-crystals formation and physicochemical properties of piracetam

23-Dihydroxybenzoic acid is a natural phenol found in Phyllanthus acidus and in the aquatic fern Salvinia molesta. It is also abundant in the fruits of Flacourtia inermis. It is a dihydroxybenzoic acid a type of organic compound. The colorless solid occurs naturally being formed via the shikimate pathway. It is incorporated into various siderophores which are molecules that strongly complex iron ions for absorption into bacteria. 23-DHB consists of a catechol group which upon deprotonation binds iron centers very strongly and the carboxylic acid group by which the ring attaches to various scaffolds via amide linkages. A famous high affinity siderophore is enterochelin which contains three dihydroxybenzoyl substituents linked to the depsipeptide of serine.
