Figure Presented. The Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum-sensing molecule N-(3-oxododecanoyl)-l-homoserine lactone (1) is involved not only in bacterial activation but also in subversion of the host immune system, and this compound might thus be used as a template to design immunosuppressive agents, provided derivatives devoid of quorum-sensing activity could be discovered. By use of a leukocyte proliferation assay and a newly developed bioluminescent P. aeruginosa reporter assay, systematic modification of 1 allowed us to delineate the bacterial LasR-induction and host immunosuppressive activities. The main determinant is replacement of the methylene group proximal to the β-ketoamide in the acyl chain of 1 with functions containing heteroatoms, especially an NH group. This modification can be combined with replacement of the homoserine lactone system in 1 with stable cyclic groups. For example, we found the simple compound N1-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-N 3-octylmalonamide (25d) to be over twice as potent as 1 as an immune suppressor while displaying LasR-induction antagonist activity.

Bis(tri-n-butylstannyl)benzopinacolinate (2) serves as a thermal source of tri-n-butylstannyl radicals and mediates intermolecular coupling of selected alkyl halides to O-benzylformaldoxime and electron deficient olefins.A free radical non-chain mechanism is proposed for these reactions.
