Application

The following AHL is a phenylacetanoyl L-homoserine lactone (PHL), a class of compounds found to strongly modulate many LuxR-type receptors. It is an active inhibitor of the putative LuxR-type receptor in Acinetobacter baumannii – AbaR and the quorum-sensing repressor in P. aeruginosa – QscR.

Bacteria can coordinate group behavior using chemical signals in a process called quorum sensing (QS). The QS system in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa is largely governed by the LasR receptor and its cognate chemical signal, N-(3-oxo)-dodecanoyl L-homoserine lactone (OdDHL).

Chemical Society reviews, 37(7), 1432-1447 (2008-06-24)
Bacteria are capable of "communicating" their local population densities via a process termed quorum sensing (QS). Gram-negative bacteria use N-acylated l-homoserine lactones (AHLs), in conjunction with their cognate LuxR-type receptors, as their primary signalling circuit for QS. In this critical

Many bacterial pathogens use quorum sensing (QS) to control virulence. As a result, the development of methods to intercept QS has attracted significant interest as a potential anti-infective therapy. Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a pan-drug-resistant pathogen and displays a

The transcription factor QscR is a regulator of quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and plays a role in controlling virulence in this prevalent opportunistic pathogen. This study outlines the discovery of a set of synthetic N-acylated homoserine lactones that are
