sex pheromone

Sex Pheromone Inhibitor iPD1 is a compound that functions as an inhibitor of the sex pheromone cPD1 [1].

COB1 pheromone, a bacterial sex pheromone, effectively inhibits the multidrug-resistant Enterococcus faecalis V583 [1].

Pheromonotropin (Pseudaletia separata) (Pss-PT), a C-terminal pentapeptide FXPRL-amide pheromone of the armyworm (Pseudaletia separata), is a member of the PK/PBAN family that induces sex pheromone production in moths, mediates feeding through intestinal muscle contraction, influences development processes such as embryonic and pupal diapause and pupation, and enhances defense mechanisms against predators [1].

cCF10 is a peptide sex pheromone that facilitates the transfer of the conjugative plasmid pCF10 from donor bacteria containing the plasmid to recipient bacteria lacking it. It activates the bacterial Opp system, allowing entry into the bacteria and inhibiting the accumulation of (p)ppGpp. By preserving the metabolic activity state of bacteria, cCF10 reduces the formation of persistent bacteria.
