Dodecanamide, 3-?hydroxy-?N-?(tetrahydro-?2-?oxo-?3-?furanyl)?- Usage And Synthesis

Definition

ChEBI: 3-Hydroxy-N-(2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-yl)dodecanamide is a N-acyl-amino acid.

Biological Activity

N-(3-Hydroxydodecanoyl)-DL-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.', 'Quorum-sensing signal generation
