    Pilot in Vivo Structure–Activity Relationship of Dihydromethysticin in Blocking 4‑(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone-Induced <i>O</i><sup>6</sup>‑Methylguanine and Lung Tumor in A/J Mice

    (+)-Dihydromethysticin was recently identified as a promising lung cancer chemopreventive agent, while (+)-dihydrokavain was completely ineffective. A pilot in vivo structure–activity relationship (SAR) was explored, evaluating the efficacy of its analogs in blocking 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone-induced short-term <i>O</i><sup>6</sup>-methylguanine and long-term adenoma formation in the lung tissues in A/J mice. Both results revealed cohesive SARs, demonstrating that the methylenedioxy functional group in DHM is essential while the lactone functional group tolerates modifications

    A new spin for oxide interfaces

    No full text
    International audienceThe variety of emergent phenomena occurring at oxide interfaces has made these systems the focus of intense study in recent years. We argue that spin–orbit effects in oxide interfaces provide a versatile handle to generate, control and convert spin currents, with a view towards low-power spintronic
