AdipoGen 3-oxo-C11-L-HSL
Chemical. CAS 216596-70-2. Formula C15H25NO4. MW 283.4. Synthetic. N-3-Oxoundecanoyl-L-homoserine lactone is a small diffusible signaling molecule and is a member of N-acyl-homoserine lactone family. N-acylhomoserine lactones AHL are involved in quorum sensing, controlling gene expression, and cellular metabolism. The diverse applications of this kind of molecule include regulation of virulence in general, infection prevention, and formation of biofilms. Numerous species of bacteria employ 3OC11-HSL in cell-to-cell communication. Shown to have immune suppressive activity, inhibiting murine and human leucocyte proliferation.
