Product Description
N-(3-Oxotetradecanoyl)-DL-homoserine lactone is an N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) generated by Gram-negative (Gram-) bacteria and is a quorum sensing (QS) signaling molecule.
N-(3-Oxotetradecanoyl)-DL-homoserine lactone (3-Oxo-C14-AHL) is a N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) that functions as a quorum sensing signaling molecule in Gram-negative bacteria. It is a member of the family of autoinducer molecules used by bacteria to regulate gene expression in response to cell density. The compound has a 14-carbon acyl chain with a 3-oxo substitution, which influences its signaling properties and specificity for different LuxR-type receptors.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary targets of 3-Oxo-C14-AHL are LuxR-type quorum sensing receptors in bacteria. These receptors are transcription factors that, upon binding to AHL molecules, activate or repress the expression of target genes involved in virulence, biofilm formation, bioluminescence, and other collective behaviors. Different bacterial species produce and respond to specific AHL molecules, with the acyl chain length and substitution pattern determining receptor specificity. 3-Oxo-C14-AHL is a long-chain AHL with specific signaling properties.
ln Vitro
In vitro studies demonstrate that 3-Oxo-C14-AHL activates LuxR-type quorum sensing receptors in a concentration-dependent manner. The compound's activity can be assessed using reporter gene assays where the AHL-responsive promoter is linked to a reporter such as luciferase or β-galactosidase. The compound shows specific activity for certain LuxR homologs, with the 3-oxo substitution and 14-carbon chain length providing distinct signaling properties compared to other AHLs. Structure-activity relationship studies have characterized the importance of the acyl chain for receptor binding and activation.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies in bacterial cultures and animal models have shown that 3-Oxo-C14-AHL regulates quorum sensing-dependent phenotypes such as virulence factor production and biofilm formation. In pathogenic bacteria, AHL-mediated quorum sensing controls the expression of toxins and other virulence factors. The compound can be used to study the role of quorum sensing in bacterial pathogenesis and to screen for quorum sensing inhibitors. In vivo studies in infection models have demonstrated the importance of AHL signaling in bacterial virulence.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cellular assays for 3-Oxo-C14-AHL typically involve measuring its binding affinity to LuxR-type receptors using techniques such as isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) or surface plasmon resonance (SPR). These assays determine the dissociation constant (KD) and binding kinetics. Competition binding assays may be used to assess the relative affinity of different AHL analogs. These cell-free systems allow for precise characterization of the compound's receptor binding properties.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for 3-Oxo-C14-AHL utilize bacterial reporter strains containing AHL-responsive promoters fused to reporter genes. The compound is added to bacterial cultures, and reporter activity is measured to assess quorum sensing activation. Dose-response curves are generated to determine EC50 values. These assays are used to characterize the signaling properties of AHLs and to screen for quorum sensing agonists and antagonists.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for 3-Oxo-C14-AHL typically involve infection models using pathogenic bacteria. The compound may be administered to study its effects on bacterial virulence and pathogenesis. Alternatively, quorum sensing inhibitors may be tested in the presence of AHLs to assess their efficacy in reducing bacterial virulence in vivo. These studies provide insights into the role of quorum sensing in infection and the potential of quorum sensing-targeted therapies.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of 3-Oxo-C14-AHL are not well-characterized, as the compound is primarily used as a research tool in microbiology rather than as a therapeutic agent. As a small lipophilic molecule, it may have limited aqueous solubility. The compound is typically dissolved in organic solvents such as DMSO or ethanol for experimental use. Its stability in biological media and its distribution in vivo depend on its physicochemical properties and the specific experimental conditions.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for 3-Oxo-C14-AHL are limited, as the compound is used as a research reagent rather than a therapeutic agent. As a bacterial signaling molecule, it is not intended for human use. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound. The compound's toxicity profile in mammalian systems has not been extensively characterized.
