Quorum sensing is a regulatory system for controlling gene expression in response to increasing cell density. N-Acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) is produced by gram-negative bacteria, which use it as a quorum-sensing signal molecule. Serratia marcescens is a gram-negative opportunistic pathogen which is responsible for an increasing number of serious nosocomial infections. S. marcescens AS-1 produces N-hexanoyl homoserine lactone (C(6)-HSL) and N-(3-oxohexanoyl) homoserine lactone and regulates prodigiosin production, swarming motility, and biofilm formation by AHL-mediated quorum sensing. We synthesized a series of N-acyl cyclopentylamides with acyl chain lengths ranging from 4 to 12 and estimated their inhibitory effects on prodigiosin production in AS-1. One of these molecules, N-nonanoyl-cyclopentylamide (C(9)-CPA), had a strong inhibitory effect on prodigiosin production. C(9)-CPA also inhibited the swarming motility and biofilm formation of AS-1. A competition assay revealed that C(9)-CPA was able to inhibit quorum sensing at four times the concentration of exogenous C(6)-HSL and was more effective than the previously reported halogenated furanone. Our results demonstrated that C(9)-CPA was an effective quorum-sensing inhibitor for S. marcescens AS-1.
