Enterochelin complexes, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and a process for preparing them.

摘要

Complexes of enterochelin, and certain analogues thereof, with one of the metals indium and scandium are useful for the treatment of bacterial infections.

The complexes are prepared by the reaction in a suitable mutual solvent of enterochelin or its analogue and a salt of the appropriate metal.

The pharmaceutical compositions can contain two or more of the complexes, other active substances and an iron-chelating agent.
