Novel hexadentate chelators based on 1-hydroxy-2(1H)-pyridinone synthesised.
First hexadentate chelators based on 1-hydroxy-2(1H)-pyridinone shown to be biostatic.
Biostatic effect (minimum inhibitory concentration) measured on a range of pathogenic bacteria.
Biostatic effect compare favourably with that of most powerful Fe(III) chelator known.
