N-undecanoyl-L-Homoserine lactone - CAS 216596-71-3

N-acylated homoserine lactones (AHLs) are a class of autoinducers used in bacterial quorum sensing to control gene expression in response to cell density. These molecules, comprising a fatty acid coupled with homoserine lactone (HSL), vary in acyl group length (C4-C18), C3 substitution (hydrogen, hydroxyl, or oxo group), and the presence of carbon-carbon double bonds, determining signal specificity through LuxR family transcriptional regulators. C11-HSL, with its rare odd-numbered acyl carbon chain, may act as a minor quorum-sensing signaling molecule in P. aeruginosa strains. Regulating bacterial quorum sensing can inhibit pathogenesis and represents a novel antimicrobial therapy approach for infectious diseases.
