N-Butanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone aptamers blocks qurom sensing and inhibits biofilm formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

N-Butanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (C4-HSL) is a cleavable ADC linker used in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). It exhibits antibacterial activity and is employed in antibacterial biofilm[1].

3-Hydroxy-C4-HSL (N-3-hydroxybutyryl-L-Homoserine lactone) is an N-acyl homoserine lactone obtained from pathogenic Vibrio vulnificus in fish and is a bacterial group sensing (QS) inducer that modulates bacterial signaling and can be used in the study of bacterial infections.

Quorum sensing is a regulatory process used by bacteria for controlling gene expression in response to increasing cell density.[1] This regulatory process manifests itself with a variety of phenotypes including biofilm formation and virulence factor production.[2] Coordinated gene expression is achieved by the production, release, and detection of small diffusible signal molecules called autoinducers. The N-acylated homoserine lactones (AHLs) comprise one such class of autoinducers, each of which generally consists of a fatty acid coupled with homoserine lactone (HSL). AHLs vary in acyl group length (C4-C18), in the substitution of C3 (hydrogen, hydroxyl, or oxo group) and in the presence or absence of one or more carbon-carbon double bonds in the fatty acid chain. These differences confer signal specificity through the affinity of transcriptional regulators of the LuxR family.[3] C16:1-Δ9-(L)-HSL is a long-chain AHL that functions as a quorum sensing signaling molecule in strains of S. meliloti.[4],[5],[6],[7] Regulating bacterial quorum sensing signaling can be used to inhibit pathogenesis and thus, represents a new approach to antimicrobial therapy in the treatment of infectious diseases.[8] Reference：[1].

The long-chain N-acylhomoserine lactones may be exported from cells by efflux pumps or may be transported between communicating cells by way of extracellular outer membrane vesicles.[8],[9]Reference:[1].

C18-HSL is one of four lipophilic, long acyl side-chain-bearing N-acylated homoserine lactones (AHLs) produced by the LuxI AHL synthase homolog SinI, involved in quorum sensing signaling in S. meliloti, a nitrogen-fixing bacterial symbiont of the legume [M. sativa]. C18-HSL and other hydrophobic AHLs tend to localize in relatively lipophilic cellular environments and cannot diffuse freely through the cell membrane. These long-chain N-acylhomoserine lactones may be exported from cells by efflux pumps or transported between communicating cells via extracellular outer membrane vesicles. Quorum sensing, a regulatory system used by bacteria to control gene expression in response to cell density, manifests in phenotypes such as biofilm formation and virulence factor production. Coordinated gene expression is achieved through the production, release, and detection of small diffusible signal molecules called autoinducers, including AHLs, which vary in acyl group length (C4-C18), C3 substitution (hydrogen, hydroxyl, or oxo group), and the presence or absence of carbon-carbon double bonds, conferring signal specificity through LuxR family transcriptional regulators.

N-tridecanoyl-L-Homoserine lactone (C13-HSL) possesses a rare odd-numbered acyl carbon chain and is produced by wild-type and mutant strains of Y. pseudotuberculosis in trace amounts.

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.

N-(3-Oxobutanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (3-oxo-C4-HSL) serves as an autoregulator for carbapenem antibiotic biosynthesis in Erwinia carotovora ATCC 39048 and induces the expression of rhiI in R. leguminosarum [1].

N-Butyryl-L-Homoserine lactone-d5 is a deuterated version of N-Butanoyl-L-homoserine lactone. Serving as a cleavable ADC linker, N-Butanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (C4-HSL) is employed in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). This compound also exhibits antimicrobial activity, making it useful in combating bacterial biofilms. Additionally, N-Butanoyl-L-homoserine lactone aptamers are employed to inhibit quorum sensing and prevent the formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms.

N-Acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) are a class of autoinducers used by bacteria in quorum sensing, a regulatory system controlling gene expression in response to increased cell density. This regulation leads to diverse phenotypes, such as biofilm formation and production of virulence factors. Coordinated gene expression is achieved through the generation, release, and detection of small diffusible signal molecules called autoinducers. AHLs typically consist of fatty acids linked to homoserine lactone (HSL). Modulating bacterial quorum sensing signal systems to suppress pathogenesis offers a novel antimicrobial approach in studying infectious diseases. AHLs vary in acyl chain length (C4-C18), C3 substitution (hydrogen, hydroxyl, or oxo groups), and the presence or absence of carbon-carbon double bonds, providing signal specificity via LuxR family transcription factors. C9-HSL, characterized by an unusual odd-numbered acyl carbon chain, is produced by the wild-type Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora strain SCC 3193 grown in nutrient-rich Luria-Bertani broth (LB).
