Abstract
Selenium is an essential trace element in living organisms, and is present in selenoenzymes with antioxidant activity, like glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and thioredoxin reductase (TrxR). The search for small selenium-containing molecules that mimic selenoenzymes is a strong field of research in organic and medicinal chemistry. In this review, we review the synthesis and bioassays of new and known organoselenium compounds with antioxidant activity, covering the last five years. A detailed description of the synthetic procedures and the performed in vitro and in vivo bioassays is presented, highlighting the most active compounds in each series.

Abstract
Misfolding and fibrillar aggregation of Aβ is a characteristic hallmark of Alzheimer's disease and primarily participates in neurodegenerative pathologies. There has been no breakthrough made in the therapeutic regime of Alzheimer's disease while the pharmacological interventions against Aβ are designed to sequester and clear Aβ burden from the neurological tissues. Based on the physiological relevance of Aβ, therapeutic approaches are required to inhibit and stabilize Aβ fibrillization, instead of cleaning it from the neurological system. In this context, we have designed a selenadiazole-based library of compounds against the fibrillization paradigm of Aβ. Compounds that completely inhibited the Aβ fibrillization appeared to stabilize Aβ at the monomeric stage as indicated by ThT assay, CD spectrophotometry, and TEM imaging. Partial inhibitors elongated the nucleation phase and allowed limited fibrillization of Aβ into smaller fragments with slightly higher β-sheets contents, while noninhibitors did not interfere in Aβ aggregation and resulted in mature fibrils with fibrillization kinetics similar to Aβ control. Molecular docking revealed the different binding positions of the compounds for three classes. Complete inhibitors alleviated Aβ toxicity to SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells and permeated across the blood-brain barrier in zebrafish larvae. The amino acid residues from Aβ peptide that interacted with the compounds from all three classes were overlapping and majorly lying in the amyloidogenic regions. However, compounds that stabilize Aβ monomers displayed higher association constants (Ka) and lower dissociation constants (Kd) in comparison to partial and noninhibitors, as corroborated by ITC. These results support further structure activity-based preclinical development of these selenadiazole compounds for potential anti-Alzheimer's therapy.

Abstract
Selenium is an underexplored element that can be used for bioisosteric replacement of lower molecular weight chalcogens such as oxygen and sulfur. More studies regarding the impact of selenium substitution in different chemical scaffolds are needed to fully grasp this element's potential. Herein, we decided to evaluate the impact of selenium incorporation in a series of tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO2) inhibitors, a target of interest in cancer immunotherapy. First, we synthesized the different chalcogen isosteres through Suzuki-Miyaura type coupling. Next, we evaluated the isosteres' affinity and selectivity for TDO2, as well as their lipophilicity, microsomal stability and cellular toxicity on TDO2-expressing cell lines. Overall, chalcogen isosteric replacements did not disturb the on-target activity but allowed for a modulation of the compounds' lipophilicity, toxicity and stability profiles. The present work contributes to our understanding of oxygen/sulfur/selenium isostery towards increasing structural options in medicinal chemistry for the development of novel and distinctive drug candidates.

Abstract
To overcome drug resistance in hypoxic tumors and the limitations of radiation impedance and radiation dose, we developed a nano-radiosensitizer to improve the efficacy of cancer radiotherapy. We used multifunctional mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as the carriers for a novel anticancer selenadiazole derivative (SeD) and modified its surface with folic acid (FA) to enhance its cervical cancer-targeting effects, forming the nanosystem named SeD@MSNs-FA. Upon radiation, SeD@MSNs-FA inhibits the growth of cervical cancer cells by inducing apoptosis through the death receptor-mediated apoptosis pathway and S phase arrest, significantly improving the sensitivity of cervical cancer cells to X-ray radiation. The combined activity of SeD@MSN-FA and radiation can promote excessive production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induce cell apoptosis by affecting p53, protein kinase B (AKT), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. Furthermore, SeD@MSNs-FA can effectively inhibit tumor growth of xenografted HeLa tumors in nude mice. The toxicity analysis of SeD@MSNs-FA nanoparticles in vivo and the histological analysis performed in the mouse model showed that under the current experimental conditions, the nanoparticles induced no significant damage to the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, or other major organs. Taken together, this study provides a translational nanomedicine-based strategy for the simultaneous chemo- and radiotherapy of cervical cancer and sheds light on potential mechanisms that can be used to overcome radiotherapeutic resistance.

Abstract
Organo-seleno compounds (org-Se) have been widely used in antitumor, antiviral, and antiinflammatory therapy; antioxidation and other biological fields. As such, they have made an important contribution to overcoming various kinds of diseases, and researchers are increasingly attracted to org-Se's synthesis and functional design. This review is mainly focused on the design and synthesis of various kinds of org-Se, followed by their anticancer mechanisms such as the mitochondria mediated pathway induced by ROS, death receptor mediated pathways involving p53 phosphorylation, and the activation of the AMPK pathway to promote apoptosis. Org-Se also serves as a sensitizer in chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and an antagonist against the cytotoxic effects induced by chemotherapeutic agents. Finally, we will summarize the development of cancer-targeted org-Se containing complexes, and nanotechnology-based org-Se for anticancer application. This review could provide information for the future design of chemically innovative org-Se with anticancer potential, and shed light on the discovery of nanomaterial-based pharmaceuticals to improve drug development and formation.

Abstract
Twenty-seven novel benzo[c][1,2,5]selenadiazole-5-carboxylic acid (BSCA) derivatives were designed and synthesized. Anti-proliferative activity of these structures was tested in vitro against a panel of five human cancer cell lines, including prostate (PC-3), colon (HT-29), leukemia (CCRF-CEM), lung (HTB-54) and breast (MCF-7). Four compounds (5, 6, 7 and 19) showed potent inhibitory activity with GI50 values below 10 μM in at least one of the cancer cell lines. The selectivity of these compounds was further examined in two non-malignant cell lines derived from breast (184B5) and lung (BEAS-2B). Compound 7 exhibited promising anti-proliferative activity (GI50 = 3.7 μM) in MCF-7 cells, together with high selectivity index (SI > 27.1). The induction of cell death by compound 7 was independent of the apoptotic process and it did not affect cell cycle progression either. Likewise, radical scavenging properties of the new selenadiazole derivatives were confirmed by testing their ability to scavenge DPPH radicals. Four compounds (1, 2, 8 and 9) showed potent radical scavenging activity, compound 9 being the most effective. Overall, while compound 7 was identified as the most cell growth inhibitory agent and selectively toxic to cancer cells, compound 9 proved to be the most potent antioxidant among the selenadiazole derivatives synthesized. This series of compounds can serve as an excellent scaffold to achieve new and potent antioxidant compounds useful for several diseases, i.e. cancer, neurodegenerative, heart diseases and leishmaniasis, considering the high radical scavenging activity and low toxicity showed by most of the compounds.

Abstract
Ultrasound assisted the copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction to synthesis 1-(10-bromoanthracene-9-yl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (A-Im). The obtained product was employed to modify graphene oxide (GO) surface to produce GO-A-Im. The resulted hybrid was characterized with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM/EDS); X-ray Diffraction spectroscopy (XRD); X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS); Fluorescence spectroscopy; Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. The synthesized (A-Im) moiety that was used for functionalization of GO, display a cyan emission around (496 nm), however, the GO hybrid exhibited blue photoluminescence around (403 nm). It has been proposed that the chemical attachment of the A-Im moiety onto GO surface leads to a distortion in the bandgap of the GO and the blue shift of luminescence [93 nm] was observed. Indeed the cytotoxicity properties of the synthesized hybrid were measured. The IC50 value for the hybrid was 23 µg/ml. The model drug (DOX) was loaded up to 91% on the carrier, and the release profile indicated a pH-dependent discharge with more release in acidic pH. The GO-A-Im/DOX was injected to the 4T1 tumor (murine breast cancer) bearing BALB/c mice and after 10 days the tumor was disappeared.

Abstract
Novel selenocyanate and diselenide derivatives containing a carbamate moiety were synthesised and evaluated in vitro to determine their cytotoxic and radical scavenging properties. Cytotoxic activity was tested against a panel of human cell lines including CCRF-CEM (lymphoblastic leukaemia), HT-29 (colon carcinoma), HTB-54 (lung carcinoma), PC-3 (prostate carcinoma), MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma), 184B5 (non-malignant, mammary gland derived) and BEAS-2B (non-malignant, derived from bronchial epithelium). Most of the compounds displayed high antiproliferative activity with GI50 values below 10μM in MCF-7, CCRF-CEM and PC-3 cells. Radical scavenging properties of the new selenocompounds were confirmed testing their ability to scavenge DPPH and ABTS radicals. Based on the activity of selenium-based glutathione peroxidases (GPxs), compounds 1a, 2e and 2h were further screened for their capacity to reduce hydrogen peroxide under thiol presence. Results suggest that compound 1a mimics GPxs activity. Cytotoxic parameters, radical scavenging activity and ADME profile point to 1a as promising drug candidate.

Abstract
A series of 31 new selenoesters were synthesized and their cytotoxic activity was evaluated against a prostate cancer cell line (PC-3). The most active compounds were also tested against three tumoural cell lines (MCF-7, A-549 and HT-29) and one non-tumour prostate cell line (RWPE-1). Thirteen compounds showed significant activity towards all tumour cells investigated, and some of them were even more potent than etoposide and cisplatin, which were used as reference drugs. Because of their pronounced potency and/or selectivity, four analogues (5, 21, 28 and 30), were selected in order to assess their redox properties related to a possible redox modulating activity. The glutathione peroxidase (GPx) assay showed slight activity for compound 30 and the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl-(DPPH) assay showed a weak activity for compounds 5 and 28. The present results revealed that analogues 5, 21, 28 and 30 might serve as a useful starting point for the design of improved anti-tumour agents.

Abstract
The synthesis, cytotoxic activities and selectivities of 35 derivatives related to quinazoline and pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine are described. The synthesized compounds were screened in vitro against four tumoral cell lines - leukemia (CCRF-CEM), colon (HT-29), lung (HTB-54) and breast (MCF-7) - and two cell lines derived from non-malignant cell lines, one mammary (184B5) and one from bronchial epithelium (BEAS-2B). MCF-7 and HTB-54 were the most sensitive cell lines with GI(50) values below 10μM for eleven and ten compounds, respectively. Two compounds (2o and 3a) were identified that evoked a marked cytotoxic effect in all cell lines tested and one compound, 7h, was potent and selective against MCF-7. A preliminary study into the mechanism of the potent derivatives 2o, 3a and 7h indicated that the cytotoxic activities of these compounds might be mediated by inducing cell death without affecting cell cycle phases.

Abstract
Although the causes of cancer lie in mutations or epigenic changes at the genetic level, their molecular manifestation is the dysfunction of biochemical pathways at the protein level. The 518 protein kinases encoded by the human genome play a central role in various diseases, a fact that has encouraged extensive investigations on their biological function and three dimensional structures. Selenium (Se) is an important nutritional trace element involved in different physiological functions with antioxidative, antitumoral and chemopreventive properties. The mechanisms of action for selenocompounds as anticancer agents are not fully understood, but kinase modulation seems to be a possible pathway. Various organosulfur compounds have shown antitumoral and kinase inhibition effects but, in many cases, the replacement of sulfur by selenium improves the antitumoral effect of compounds. Although Se atom possesses a larger atomic volume and nucleophilic character than sulfur, Se can also formed interactions with aminoacids of the catalytic centers of proteins. So, we propose a novel chemical library that includes organoselenium compounds as kinase modulators. In this study thirteen selenocompounds have been evaluated at a concentration of 3 or 10 µM in a 24 kinase panel using a Caliper LabChip 3000 Drug Discover Platform. Several receptor (EGFR, IGFR1, FGFR1…) and non-receptor (Abl) kinases have been selected, as well as serine/threonine/lipid kinases (AurA, Akt, CDKs, MAPKs…) implicated in main cancer pathways: cell cycle regulation, signal transduction, angiogenesis regulation among them. The obtained results showed that two compounds presented inhibition values higher than 50% in at least four kinases and seven derivatives selectively inhibited one or two kinases. Furthermore, three compounds selectively activated IGF-1R kinase with values ranging from −98% to −211%. In conclusion, we propose that the replacement of sulfur by selenium seems to be a potential and useful strategy in the search of novel chemical compound libraries against cancer as kinase modulators.

Abstract
The study described here concerns the synthesis of a series of thirty new symmetrically substituted imidothiocarbamate and imidoselenocarbamate derivatives and their evaluation for antitumoral activity in vitro against a panel of five human tumor cell lines: breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7), colon carcinoma (HT-29), lymphocytic leukemia (K-562), hepatocarcinoma (Hep-G2), prostate cancer (PC-3) and one non-malignant mammary gland-derived cell line (MCF-10A). The GI(50) values for eighteen of the compounds were below 10 μM in at least one cell line. Two cancer cells (MCF-7 and HT-29) proved to be the most sensitive to five compounds (1b, 2b, 3b, 4b and 5b), with growth inhibition in the nanomolar range, and compounds 1b, 3b, 7b, 8b and 9b gave values of less than 1 μM. In addition, all of the aforementioned compounds exhibited lower GI(50) values than some of the standard chemotherapeutic drugs used as references. The results also reveal that the nature of the aliphatic chain (methyl is better than benzyl) at the selenium position and the nature of the heteroatom (Se better than S) have a marked influence on the antiproliferative activity of the compounds. These findings reinforce our earlier hypothesis concerning the determinant role of the selenomethyl group as a scaffold for the biological activity of this type of compound. Considering both the cytotoxic parameters and the selectivity index (which was compared in MCF-7 and MCF-10A cells), compounds 2b and 8b (with a selenomethyl moiety) displayed the best profiles, with GI(50) values ranging from 0.34 nM to 6.07 μM in the five cell lines tested. Therefore, compounds 2b and 8b were evaluated by flow cytometric analysis for their effects on cell cycle distribution and apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. 2b was the most active, with an apoptogenic effect similar to camptothecin, which was used as a positive control. Both of them provoked cell cycle arrest leading to the accumulation of cells in either G(2)/M and S phase. These two compounds can therefore be considered as the most promising candidates for the development of novel generations of antitumor agents.

Abstract
The present study describes the biological evaluation of a library of 59 organo-selenium compounds as superoxide (O₂⁻) generators and cytotoxic agents in human prostate cancer cells (PC-3) and in breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7). In order to corroborate that the biological activity for selenium compounds depends on the chemical form, a broad structural variety is presented. These structures include selenocyanates, diselenides, selenoalkyl functional moieties and eight newly synthesized symmetrically substituted dithioselenites and selenylureas. Eleven of the derivatives tested showed high levels of superoxide generation in vitro via oxidation of reduced glutathione (GSH) and nine of them were more catalytic than the reference compound, diselenodipropionic acid. Eighteen of the library compounds inhibited cell growth more than or similar to reference chemotherapeutic drugs in PC-3 and eleven were more potent cytotoxic agents than etoposide in the MCF-7 cell line. Considering both parameters (superoxide generation and cell cytotoxicity) compounds B1, C6 and C9 displayed the best therapeutic profiles. Considering that many diselenide compounds can generate superoxide (O₂⁻) in vitro via oxidation of GSH and other thiols, the analogue B1, that contains a diselenide moiety, was selected for a preliminary mechanistic investigation, which revealed that B1 has apoptogenic effects similar to camptothecin mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) in lymphocytic leukemia cells (CCRF-CEM) and affected the MCF-7 cell-cycle in G₂/M and S-phases.
