Biochem/physiol Actions

N-Octanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone is a member of N-acyl-homoserine lactone family. N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHL) regulate gene expression in gram-negative bacteria, such as Echerichia and Salmonella are involved in quorum sensing, cell to cell communication among bacteria. Some AHLs are potent chemoattractants for human immune cells such as neutrophils.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of new N-acyl-homoserine-lactone analogues, based on triazole and tetrazole scaffolds, acting as LuxR-dependent quorum sensing modulators

New analogues of N-acyl-homoserine-lactone (AHL), in which the amide was replaced by a triazole or tetrazole ring, were prepared and tested for their activity as LuxR-dependent QS modulators. Several compounds showed a level of antagonistic or agonistic activity, notably some 1,4-triazolic and 1,5-tetrazolic derivatives, whereas the 2,5-tetrazolic compounds were inactive. In 1,5-tetrazoles, substituted with butyrolactone and an alkyl chain, the activity was reversed, depending on the connection between the lactone and the tetrazole. The C-N connected compounds were agonists whereas the C-C connected ones were antagonists.
