N-DODECANOYL-DL-HOMOSERINE LACTONE

Description:

N-Dodecanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone, with the CAS number 18627-38-8, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs), which are important signaling molecules in bacterial quorum sensing. This compound features a dodecanoyl (a fatty acid chain) group attached to a homoserine lactone structure, which contributes to its amphiphilic nature, allowing it to interact with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments. N-Dodecanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone is typically characterized by its ability to facilitate communication among bacterial populations, influencing behaviors such as biofilm formation, virulence, and bioluminescence. The lactone ring structure is crucial for its biological activity, as it can undergo hydrolysis to release the acyl homoserine moiety, which is essential for receptor binding in target bacteria. This compound is of interest in microbiology and biotechnology, particularly in studies related to microbial ecology and the development of anti-quorum sensing strategies. Its stability and reactivity can vary depending on environmental conditions, such as pH and temperature.
