Abstract
The antimicrobial activity of the iron(III)-selective 3-hydroxypyridin-4-one chelators, CP251(1) and CP252(2), was evaluated in comparison with that of diethylenetriamine-penta acetic acid (3). CP251 was found to exhibit an inhibitory effect on the growth of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. CP251 may find application in the treatment of external infections such as those associated with wounds.
