N-(3-Hydroxydecanoyl)-DL-homoserine lactone is a member of N-acyl-homoserine lactone family. N-Acylhomoserine lactones (AHL) regulate gene expression in gram-negative bacteriasuch as Echerichia and Salmonellaand are involved in quorum sensingcell to cell communication among bacteria; for reviews see. Bacterial intercellular communication has become a target for the development of new anti-virulence drugsand a research focus for the prevention of biofilm formation.''Quorum-sensing signal generation
