HQNO (2-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline N-oxide)(Cat No.:I011704)is a secondary metabolite produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, recognized for its role in microbial interactions and biofilm formation. As a quinolone derivative, HQNO inhibits the electron transport chain in bacteria by blocking cytochrome b, impacting energy production. This inhibition affects respiratory processes in both pathogenic and commensal organisms, making HQNO a valuable molecule in studying bacterial competition and antibiotic resistance mechanisms. Its unique bioactivity also positions HQNO as a tool in research on interspecies interactions, microbial ecology, and the development of antimicrobial therapies.
