Beschreibung

Methyl a-D-xylopyranoside is an iron chelator that can be used as a mycobacterial drug candidate. It binds to both ferric and ferrous iron, and has been shown to inhibit the uptake of ferric iron by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It also inhibits the synthesis of siderophores, which are molecules produced by bacteria in order to acquire iron from their environment. Methyl a-D-xylopyranoside does not bind to the alpha-d-glucopyranoside moiety typically found in iron complexes. This is due to its hydroxamate group, which causes it to have an increased affinity for Fe3+. This compound is active against gram negative bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, but not against gram positive organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pneumoniae.
