N-octanoyl-L-Homoserine lactone

Description: N-octanoyl-L-Homoserine lactone (C8-HSL) is a diffusible exogenous Yersinia pestis population-sensing molecule that modulates LcrV virulence factors, controls gene expression by participating in population sensing, and affects cellular metabolism.N-octanoyl-L-Homoserine lactone is used to study cystic fiber Infection. Target: Antibacterial. Smiles: CCCCCCCC(=O)N[C@H]1CCOC1=O. References: Kuo, A., Blough, N.V., and Dunlap, P.V.
