N-Z-L-homoserine lactone

Description:
N-Z-L-homoserine lactone, with the CAS number 35677-89-5, is a signaling molecule belonging to the class of homoserine lactones, which are known for their role in bacterial quorum sensing. This compound typically features a lactone ring structure, which is a cyclic ester formed from the reaction of an amino acid and a hydroxy acid. N-Z-L-homoserine lactone is characterized by its ability to facilitate communication among bacterial populations, influencing various physiological processes such as biofilm formation, virulence, and bioluminescence. The presence of the "N-Z" designation indicates that it may have specific modifications or substitutions that can affect its biological activity and stability. In terms of solubility, homoserine lactones are generally soluble in polar solvents, which aids in their diffusion through bacterial membranes. The study of such compounds is crucial for understanding microbial ecology and developing strategies for controlling bacterial behavior in various applications, including agriculture and medicine.
