Product Description
N-decanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (C10-HSL) is an N-acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL). N-decanoyl-L-homoserine lactone inhibits taproot growth of Arabidopsis thaliana. N-decanoyl-L-homoserine lactone treatment can cause a transient and immediate increase in cytoplasmic free Ca2+ and reactive oxygen species (ROS) concentrations in Arabidopsis thaliana roots, increase the activity of mitogen-activated protein kinase 6 (MPK6), and induce monoxide oxidation Nitrogen (NO) production.
N-Decanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (C10-HSL) (CAS#: 177315-87-6) is a N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) quorum sensing signal molecule used in bacterial communication studies. It is a long-chain AHL that regulates quorum sensing-dependent gene expression in Gram-negative bacteria. The compound is used as a standard and signaling molecule in studies of bacterial quorum sensing, biofilm formation, and host-pathogen interactions.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Quorum sensing receptors in Gram-negative bacteria (e.g., LuxR-type receptors). C10-HSL is a natural AHL signal molecule that binds to quorum sensing receptors and activates downstream gene expression. The specific receptor depends on the bacterial species, but C10-HSL generally activates LuxR-type transcriptional regulators that control virulence, biofilm formation, and other QS-regulated phenotypes.
ln Vitro
In Arabidopsis, N-decanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (0-75 µM) reduces primary root growth and encourages the production of lateral roots [1]. In wild-type seedlings, N-decanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (0–30µM) can raise the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration [1]. Through cross-kingdom interactions, the bacterial signal N-decanoyl-L-homoserine lactone promotes the germination of Galactomyces geotrichum spores [2].
In vitro, C10-HSL acts as a quorum sensing signal molecule in various Gram-negative bacterial species. It regulates quorum sensing-dependent gene expression, including genes involved in biofilm formation, virulence factor production, and bioluminescence (in reporter strains). The compound is used as a standard in analytical assays and as a signaling molecule to study QS mechanisms and host-pathogen interactions.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for C10-HSL are limited. As a bacterial signaling molecule, it is typically studied in vitro or in ex vivo models rather than in animal models. The compound's role in bacterial pathogenesis and host interactions can be studied using infection models where QS is known to play a role. However, C10-HSL itself is not used as a therapeutic agent but as a research tool.
Enzyme Assay
Quorum sensing activation is assessed using reporter strains (e.g., E. coli or Agrobacterium tumefaciens harboring QS-responsive reporter plasmids). Bacteria are cultured in the presence of varying concentrations of C10-HSL, and reporter gene expression (e.g., β-galactosidase, luciferase, or GFP) is measured. The EC50 for QS activation is determined from dose-response curves. Analytical quantification is performed by LC-MS/MS.
Cell Assay
C10-HSL is used in cell-based (bacterial) assays to study quorum sensing regulation. Bacteria (e.g., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Vibrio fischeri, or reporter strains) are cultured in the presence of C10-HSL at various concentrations. QS-regulated phenotypes (e.g., biofilm formation, pigment production, virulence factor secretion) are quantified. Gene expression is analyzed by qRT-PCR or reporter assays.
Animal Protocol
C10-HSL is not typically used in animal models as a therapeutic agent. However, it may be used in infection models to study the role of quorum sensing in bacterial pathogenesis. For example, mice may be infected with QS-deficient bacterial strains, and C10-HSL may be administered to complement the QS deficiency and restore virulence. Such studies help elucidate the role of QS in infection.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
C10-HSL has molecular formula C14H25NO3 and molecular weight 255.35. It is also known as N-decanoyl-L-homoserine lactone. CAS number is 177315-87-6. The compound is a quorum sensing signaling molecule used as a standard and research tool. Its pharmacokinetic properties are not relevant for its use as a research standard. Storage at -20°C is recommended.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No toxicity data are specifically reported for C10-HSL. As a bacterial signaling molecule, it is not used as a therapeutic agent and its safety profile is not relevant for clinical applications. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound. It is for research use only and is not intended for human or veterinary use.
