2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic acid
2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic acid is a dihydroxybenzoic acid, a type of organic compound. It occurs naturally in various plants, bacteria, and fungi.
It is a potentially useful iron-chelating drug and has antimicrobial properties.[medical citation needed]
It is found in Phyllanthus acidus[citation needed] and in the aquatic fern Salvinia molesta. It is also abundant in the fruits of Flacourtia inermis.
The colorless solid occurs naturally, being formed via the shikimate pathway.[citation needed] It is incorporated into various siderophores, which are molecules that strongly complex iron ions for absorption into bacteria. 2,3-DHB consists of a catechol group, which upon deprotonation binds iron centers very strongly, and the carboxylic acid group by which the ring attaches to various scaffolds through amide bonds. A famous high affinity siderophore is enterochelin, which contains three dihydroxybenzoyl substituents linked to the depsipeptide of serine.
2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic acid is also a product of human aspirin metabolism.
