Mutagenicity and Antibacterial Activity of Hydroxamic Acids

Ching Yung Wang 1, Lanfong H Lee 1
PMCID: PMC352062  PMID: 856029

Abstract

Hydroxamic acids demonstrated mutagenic and antibacterial activities. These activities appear to be dependent on the hydroxamic acid function and are probably due to the interaction with deoxyribonucleic acid.
