Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-n-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline
Description2-n-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline is a member of the quinoline chemical class, characterized by a hydroxyl group at the 4-position and a heptyl side chain at the 2-position. This compound is notably involved in microbial interactions, particularly with Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The antimicrobial activity of related compounds can be influenced by 2-n-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline, as evidenced by studies indicating that its N-oxide derivative (HQNO) plays a significant role in modulating bacterial sensitivity and resistance. For instance, the combination of certain compounds with thioridazine showed synergistic effects against Staphylococcus aureus, while 2-n-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide did not exhibit the same efficacy (PMID:33717044 ). Additionally, HQNO has been implicated in the heightened sensitivity of S. aureus to certain treatments (PMID:31363032 ) and is noted for its role as an inhibitor resistant to the Pa-NQR enzyme (PMID:30135204 ). Furthermore, mutant analyses have highlighted the importance of 2-n-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline N-oxide in the metabolic pathways of Pseudomonas (PMID:28720732 ).
