L-HOMOSERINE LACTONE, HYDROCHLORIDE

Uses

L-Homoserine lactone hydrochloride has been used as an inhibitor for arterial smooth muscle contraction.

Definition

ChEBI: L-homoserine lactone is the L-enantiomer of homoserine lactone. It is a conjugate base of a L-homoserine lactone(1+). It is an enantiomer of a D-homoserine lactone.

Biological Activity

L-Homoserine lactone inhibition reduces virulence factors and halts inflammation and tissue damage. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa it controls virulence factor production and biofilm formation. In Agrobacterium tumefaciens, it is essential for conjugal transfer.', 'Acylated L-Homoserine lactone(s) are used to study bacterial quorum-sensing signaling mechanisms.
