Synthesis and characterization of original fluorinated bis-cyclic carbonates and xanthates from a fluorinated epoxide by Alaaeddine, Ali, Ladmiral, Vincent, El Malti, Wassim, Haydar, Lolwa, Caillol, Sylvain, Améduri, Bruno

“…The development of efficient methods for the cycloaddition of CX2 (carbon dioxide (X${=}$O) or carbon disulfide (X${=}$S)) with fluorinated epoxides to produce five-membered cyclic carbonates (CCs) or cyclic xanthates (XAs) is a very attractive topic. In this work, the cycloaddition of CX2 with hexafluoropropene oxide (HFPO) was performed in the presence of a lithium bromide (LiBr) catalyst and optimized in terms of temperature, solvent, pressure, and reaction time. …”

Lipid metabolic remodeling delays senescence of T cells to potentiate their immunity against solid tumors by Lu Wang, Li Ding, Gang Chen, Zhou Xu, Yanqing Zhang, Bin Deng, Xiya Wang, Yemin Xu, Mengyue Wu, Yinhe Xia, Zhennan Cao, Ruilong Song

“…Our objective is to provide a feasible strategy for enhancing T cell treatment efficacy against solid tumors.Methods In this study, liposomal arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone (ATK) was anchored onto the adoptive T cell surface via bioorthogonal reactions, aiming to specifically inhibit the group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A2α (cPLA2α), a key enzyme facilitating phospholipid metabolism and senescent state of T cells.Results The surface engineering exerted rare side effects on the activation and migration of T cells, but local and sustained extravasation of ATK downregulated cPLA2α expression, reprogrammed lipid metabolism, and inhibited lipid droplet accumulation. …”
