    International audienceRecent amazing results (Nkolo et al., Org. Biomol. Chem., 2017, 6167) on the effect of solvents and polarity on the C-ON bond homolysis rate constants kd of alkoxyamine R1R2NOR3 led us to re-investigate the antagonistic effect of intramolecular hydrogen-bonding (IHB) on kd. Here, IHB is investigated both in the nitroxyl fragment R1R2NO and in the alkyl fragment R-3, as well as between fragments, that is, the donating group on the alkyl fragment and the accepting group on the nitroxyl fragment, and conversely. It appears that IHB between fragments (inter IHB) strikingly decreases the homolysis rate constant kd, whereas IHB within the fragment (intra IHB) moderately increases kd. For one alkoxyamine, the simultaneous occurrence of IHB within the nitroxyl fragment and between fragments is reported. The protonation effect is weaker in the presence than in the absence of IHB. A moderate solvent effect is also observed

    Hyperfine coupling constants of beta-phosphorylated nitroxides: Subtle interplay between steric strain, hyperconjugation, and dipole-dipole interactions

    International audienceSolvent effects in beta-phosphorylated nitroxides show that nitrogen and phosphorus hyperfine coupling constants a(N) and a(p), increase and decrease with increasing polarity, polarizity, and Hydrogen Bond Donor effects of solvents, respectively. In a series of articles, it was shown that the driving interaction controlling the change in a(p) is the maximization of the N+center dot O-center dot center dot center dot center dot center dot center dot P+-O- dipole - dipole interaction. In this work, we show that the steric strain in Spiro beta-phosphotylated nitroxides affords the opposite trend for a(p) that is, a(p) increases with increasing solvent properties features.

    Mature tertiary lymphoid structures predict immune checkpoint inhibitor efficacy in solid tumors independently of PD-L1 expression

    International audienceOnly a minority of patients derive long-term clinical benefit from anti-PD1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies. The presence of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) has been associated with improved survival in several tumor types. Here, using a large-scale retrospective analysis of three independent cohorts of cancer patients treated with anti-PD1/PD-L1 antibodies, we showed that the presence of mature TLS was associated with improved objective response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival independently of PD-L1 expression status and CD8+ T-cell density. These results pave the way for using TLS detection to select patients who are more likely to benefit from immune checkpoint blockade

    International audienceComment, depuis plusieurs dĂ©cennies, la recherche scientifique contribue-t-elle au dĂ©veloppement des pays du Sud ? À travers plus de 100 succĂšs emblĂ©matiques de la recherche en partenariat, cet ouvrage nous plonge au coeur des grandes questions de dĂ©veloppement : oeuvrer pour des sociĂ©tĂ©s plus justes, lutter contre les maladies, faire face aux risques naturels, mettre en place une agriculture durable garantissant la sĂ©curitĂ© alimentaire, prĂ©server la biodiversitĂ©, partager les savoirs... Il montre ainsi comment la recherche contribue Ă  l'amĂ©lioration des conditions de vie et Ă  la prĂ©servation de l'environnement dans les pays en dĂ©veloppement, en soulignant le rĂŽle de la science pour rĂ©pondre aux dĂ©fis du monde actuel et Ă  venir. ComposĂ© de textes courts, didactiques et richement illustrĂ©s, il s'adresse Ă  tous les publics
