摘要
Undecanoic acid (UDA) is a fatty acid with significant antimycotic activity. In this work we have synthesized 10-undecanhydroxamic acid, a hydroxamate derivative of the UDA, and tested its antimicrobial activity on different microorganisms. Our results demonstrate that this compound has higher efficacy than UDA against a variety of fungi and bacteria. Analysis of the intracellular concentration of protein involved in iron transport in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium suggests that its antimicrobial effect actually relies on the ability to chelate iron ions, providing an efficient mechanism to interfere with microbial growth.
