Abstract

The chemical synthesis of staphyloferrin A, a siderophore used by Staphylococcus bacteria for ferric iron retrieval, has been achieved with 79% yield via solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). Biological activity of synthetic staphyloferrin A has been confirmed by demonstrating its capture and uptake by live S. aureus.
