CAS: 78249-61-3

2,3-Dihydroxy-N-methylbenzamide (DMBA) is a siderophore that has been shown to be taken up by the root and transported into the rhizosphere. It is also found in the human gut and has been shown to have an enteric effect on humans. DMBA can be synthesized from l-threonine through a number of enzymatic reactions. It is thought that DMBA may play a role in membrane transport, as it has been shown to bind with membranes when combined with water molecules. The chemical structure of DMBA is similar to other compounds such as xanthopterin and ferrichrome, which are known for their ability to form coordination complexes with iron ions. This similarity may be due to the fact that they share a common biosynthetic precursor, l-threonine.
