| Bioactivity | Divin, a potent chelator of iron, is a potent inhibitor of bacterial cell division with bacteriostatic effect in Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Divin disrupts the assembly of late division proteins, reduces peptidoglycan remodeling at the division site, and blocks compartmentalization of the cytoplasm[1][2][3]. |
