3-Oxo-N-[(3S)-tetrahydro-2-oxo-3-furanyl]dodecanamide

Description

N-3-oxo-dodecanoyl-L-Homoserine lactone (3-oxo-C12-HSL) is a bacterial quorum-sensing signaling molecule produced by P. aeruginosa and strains of the B. cepacia complex. It induces the production of IL-8 in 16HBE human bronchial epithelial cells when used at a concentration of 100 μM. Supernatants from 3-oxo-C12-HSL-stimulated 16HBE cells induce chemotaxis of isolated human neutrophils. 3-oxo-C12-HSL has been found in respiratory secretions from patients with cystic fibrosis infected with P. aeruginosa.

Uses

N-(3-Oxododecanoyl)-L-homoserine Lactone is a bacterial quorum sensing signal molecule. Inhibits lymphocyte proliferation and TNF-α and IL-12 production by LPS-stimulated macrophages. Inhibits or promotes antibody production at high and low concentrations, respectively, in keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH)-stimulated spleen cells.

Definition

ChEBI: N-(3-oxododecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone is an N-acyl-L-homoserine lactone having 3-oxododecanoyl as the acyl substituent. It has a role as a bacterial metabolite. It is a N-(3-oxododecanoyl)homoserine lactone and a N-acyl-L-homoserine lactone. It is an enantiomer of a N-(3-oxododecanoyl)-D-homoserine lactone.

Biochem/physiol Actions

N-(3-oxododecanoyl)homoserine-L-lactone (3-oxo-C12-HSL) is among a group of homoserine lactones that includes: N-octanoyl-homoserine lactone (N-C8-HSL), N-(3-oxodecanoyl) homoserine-L-lactone (3-oxo-C10 HSL), N-(3-Oxotetradecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (3-oxo-C14-HSL, N-(3-hydroxydecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone, and N-(3-hydroxyoctanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone involved in the processes of bacterial quorum sensing. These N-acyl-homoserine lactones are used to study the processes and mechanisms of bacterial quorum sensing.
