Biological Activity: Nocardamine (Desferrioxamine E; Nocardamin) is a cyclic trihydroxamate siderophore with iron ion chelation, antioxidant, antibacterial and other activities. Nocardamine is synthesized by Pseudomonas stutzeri under iron-deficient conditions, and excessive iron ions significantly inhibit its biosynthesis process. Nocardamine increases the level of phosphorylated ERK protein, promotes nuclear translocation of β-catenin, and restores the downregulated expression of SIRT1 protein. Nocardamine alleviates cellular oxidative stress, reduces ROS content, and simultaneously repairs the ability to form mineralized nodules and the expression of osteogenic markers. Nocardamine induces FoxA gene transcription and protein expression to assist Pseudomonas aeruginosa in iron ion uptake; it also selectively inhibits the proliferation of mycobacteria. Nocardamine induces spindle-shaped morphological changes in BM-N4 insect cells, and sufficient iron ions inhibit this cellular morphological change. Nocardamine is suitable for research related to bacterial infections^{[1][2][3][4][5]}.
