Application

2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic acid was used to study the complexes of manganese with aliphatic and aromatic polyhydroxy ligands in basic media by electrochemical, spectrophotometric and magnetic methods. It was used in isolation of new siderophore named vulnibactin from low iron cultures of Vibrio vulnificus, a human pathogen. It was used as cocrystal former to study the influence of position isomerism on the co-crystals formation and physicochemical properties of piracetam.

Biochem/physiol Actions

2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic acid was found to be orally effective iron-chelating drug in hypertransfused rat model. It is monocatechol siderophore produced by Brucella abortus.

Infections by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria are increasingly common, prompting the renewed interest in the use of colistin. Colistin specifically targets Gram-negative bacteria by interacting with the anionic lipid A moieties of lipopolysaccharides, leading to membrane destabilization and cell death. Here

Brucella abortus reportedly produces the monocatechol siderophore 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHBA) in response to iron limitation. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the cloned DHBA biosynthesis locus from virulent B. abortus 2308 and genetic complementation of defined Escherichia coli mutants were used to
