Precursor-directed biosynthesis was used to introduce selected aryl carboxylic acids into the pseudochelin pathway, which had recently been assembled in . Overall, 14 previously undescribed analogues of the natural products myxochelin B and pseudochelin A were generated and structurally characterized. A subset of 10 derivatives together with their parental molecules were evaluated for their activity toward human 5-lipoxygenase. This testing revealed pseudochelin A as the most potent 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor among the naturally occurring compounds, whereas myxochelin A is the least active. Replacement of the catechol moieties in myxochelin B and pseudochelin A affected the bioactivity to different degrees.

Myxobacteria utilize the catechol natural products myxochelin A and B in order to maintain their iron homeostasis. Recently, the production of these siderophores, along with a new myxochelin derivative named pseudochelin A, was reported for the marine bacterium S2040. The latter derivative features a characteristic imidazoline moiety, which was proposed to originate from an intramolecular condensation reaction of the β-aminoethyl amide group in myxochelin B.
