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.
