2,6-Pyridinedicarbothioic acid (PDTC) is an organosulfur compound that is produced by some bacteria. It functions as a , a low molecular weight compound that scavenges iron. Siderophores solubilize compounds by forming strong complexes. PDTC is secreted by the soil bacteria Pseudomonas stutzeri and Pseudomonas putida.[1]

Synthesis and biosynthesis

PDTC can be synthesized in the laboratory by treating the diacid dichloride of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic with H2S in pyridine:

NC5H3(COCl)2 + 2 H2S + 2 C5H5N → [C5H5NH+][HNC5H3(COS)−2] + [C5H5NH]Cl

This route produces the pyridinium salt of pyridinium-2,6-dicarbothioate. Treatment of this orange-colored salt with sulfuric acid gives colorless PDTC, which can then be extracted with dichloromethane.[2]

The biosynthesis of PDTC remains unclear although some insights can be deduced from the genetics.[3] It is suggested that Pseudomonas stutzeri may have acquired at least one of the genes by lateral transfer from mycobacteria.[4] In a proposed biosynthetic sequence pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, a known bacterial metabolite,[4] is activated as its bis-adenosine monophosphate (AMP) derivative. The sulfur donor and its activation remain uncertain.[5]

Coordination chemistry

Structure of Fe(III) complex with two 2,6-pyridinedicarbothioate ligands.[6] Color code: yellow = S, blue = N and Fe, gray = C, red = O.

PDTC binds to both Fe2+ and Fe3+. The ferric complex is brown, whereas the ferrous complex is blue. In the presence of air, the ferrous complex oxidizes to the ferric compound.[7] It is iron selective[4] as only the Fe complex is soluble in water. PDTC is produced mainly during the exponential phase of bacterial growth. The conditions at which Pseudomonas produces PDTC is 25 °C, pH=8 and sufficient aeration.[5]
