    cyclo(Delta-Ala-L-Val)

    $332.77 - $1,160.30
    Cyclo(Δ-Ala-L-Val) is a diketopiperazine formed by the fusion of Δ-alanine and valine, reported as a secondary metabolite of fungi and bacteria. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, cyclo(Δ-Ala-L-Val) is capable of activating N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs). Cyclo(Δ-Ala-L-Val) is also capable of activating or antagonizing other LuxR-based quorum-sensing systems.

    Cyclo(Δ-Ala-L-Val) is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF or DMSO. Limited water solubility
    Mechanism of ActionWhile the mode of action of cyclo(Δ-Ala-L-Val) is not known, its activity suggests the existence of cross talk among bacterial signalling systems.
    Molecular FormulaC8H12N2O2
