The names of AHLs listed in Table 1 are the non-IUPAC description of compounds as N-acyl derivatives of L-homoserine lactone. Alternatively, IUPAC chemical designations for the compounds can be used. These are based on the amide unit as the principal function. Thus AT-(3-oxohexanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone is named as 3-oxo-N-(tetrahydro-2-oxo-3-furanyl)hexanamide.
