N-octanoyl-L-Homoserine lactone

N-octanoyl-L-Homoserine lactone is a bacterial signaling molecule ^[1]. N-octanoyl-L-Homoserine lactone binds to and activates the LuxR family transcription factors in bacteria, initiates the expression of downstream quorum sensing-related genes, and regulates group behaviors such as biofilm formation, virulence factor production, and antibiotic resistance ^[2-3]. N-octanoyl-L-Homoserine lactone is used in the study of bacterial communication mechanisms and the development of anti-infective drugs ^[4].
