Biochem/physiol Actions

N-Heptanoyl-L-homoserine lactone is a member of N-acyl-homoserine lactone family. N-Acylhomoserine lactones (AHL) regulate gene expression in gram-negative bacteria, such as Echerichia and Salmonella, and are involved in quorum sensing, cell to cell communication among bacteria; for reviews see. Bacterial intercellular communication has become a target for the development of new anti-virulence drugs, and a research focus for the prevention of biofilm formation.

Analysis of N-acyl-L-homoserine lactones (AHLs) produced by Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae indicated that there may be a network of quorum-sensing regulatory systems producing multiple AHLs in this species. Using a strain lacking a symbiosis plasmid, which carries some of the

Bacteria communicate by producing quorum sensing molecules called autoinducers, which include autoinducer-1, an N-hexanoyl homoserine lactone (AHL), and autoinducer-2. Bacteria present in the human oral cavity have been shown to produce autoinducer-2, but not AHL. Here, we report the isolation

Small-molecule agonists and antagonists of bacterial quorum sensing can enhance our understanding of this form of cell-cell communication. A recent effort has discovered effective modulators of the autoinducer-1 circuit for bacterial quorum sensing by the synthesis and evaluation of a
