Popis: The global crisis of untreatable microbial infections necessitates the design of new antibiotics. Drug repurposing is a promising strategy for expanding the antibiotic repertoire. In this study, we repurpose the clinically approved anticancer agent cisplatin into a targeted antibiotic by conjugating its Pt(IV) prodrug to enterobactin (Ent), a triscatecholate siderophore employed by Enterobacteriaceae for iron (Fe) acquisition. The l-Ent-Pt(IV) conjugate (l-EP) exhibits antibacterial activity against
