Summary
Dimerumic acid Hydroxamate siderophore that chelates iron and is used in oxidative stress research.
Details
Dimerumic acid is a fungal hydroxamic acid膨ontaining siderophore identified as a cleavage product of coprogen-type iron chelators and independently produced by several fungi. It functions as an iron-chelating metabolite under iron-deficient conditions and is biosynthesized via NRPS-dependent pathways. Mechanistically, dimerumic acid donates an electron through its hydroxamic acid group to neutralize reactive oxygen species, forming a nitroxide radical and inhibiting lipid peroxidation. It protects hepatocytes from oxidative stress吠nduced cytotoxicity and serves as a chemical probe for studying iron homeostasis and antioxidant defense.
Mechanism
Hydroxamate siderophore that chelates Fe3+ and reduces oxidative stress卜ediated lipid peroxidation.

Ferric iron (Fe3+)
