Catalytic degradation of N -acyl-homoserine lactone using a copper complex of a TACN derivative: implications for quorum sensing interference

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: lactone ring cleavage followed by further hydrolysis of the acyl fragment of the amide. To our knowledge, this is the first use of such complexes to degrade quorum sensing molecules. In addition, a novel UV-VIS active azodye chromophore-containing model substrate of a quorum sensing molecule was established for quorum quenching degradation studies and critically compared to other natural and synthetic quorum sensing molecules.
