description Product Description
Salicyl-AMS is primarily utilized in biochemical research as a potent inhibitor of siderophore biosynthesis in bacteria. It specifically targets the enzyme salicylate synthase, which is crucial for the production of siderophores—molecules that bacteria use to scavenge iron from their environment. By inhibiting this pathway, Salicyl-AMS effectively starves bacteria of iron, a vital nutrient, thereby hindering their growth and survival. This makes it a valuable tool in studying bacterial iron metabolism and exploring potential therapeutic strategies against bacterial infections, particularly those caused by pathogens reliant on siderophore-mediated iron acquisition. Its application extends to understanding microbial virulence mechanisms and developing novel antimicrobial agents.
