N-3-oxo-tetradec-7Z-enoyl-L-Homoserine lactone

N-3-oxo-tetradec-7Z-enoyl-L-homoserine lactone (3-oxo-C14:1-Δ7cis-(L)-HSL) is a single, positional (carbon-carbon double bond between C7 and C8 of the N-3-oxo-acyl side chain), geometric (cis, or Z geometry), and stereoisomer (L, or S absolute stereochemistry at the 3-position of the homoserine lactone ring) of what may be generally referred to as a 3-oxo-C14:1-HSL. 3-oxo-C14:1-Δ7cis-(L)-HSL is a bacterial quorum sensing compound that possesses antimicrobial activity, the ability to inhibit biofilm formation, and exhibits immune suppressive activity. This compound is structurally related to other 3-oxo-monounsaturated (N-acylated homoserine lactones) AHLs such as 3-oxo-C16:1-Δ11cis-(L)-HSL.
