Putrescine crystal structure

Ferrioxamines, typical constituents of culture broths of Actinomycetes, occm as both hnear and cychc compounds containing l-amino-5-hydroxyaminopentane (A-hydroxycadaverine) and succinic acid as building blocks (Figure 1(c)). A cyclic trimer of succinyl-(A-hydroxycadaverine), is named ferrioxamine E. In some cases the pentane moiety is replaced by a butane carbon skeleton (putrescine). The most prominent representative of this siderophore family, desferrioxamine B (Figure 1), has become the drug of choice for the treatment of transfusional iron overload (Section 6.2). The crystal structure of ferric ferrioxamine B has been published recently. Certain derivatives of the ferrioxamines display antibiotic activity and therefore have been designated as ferrimycins. ...
