Abstract
Diorganyl diselenides have emerged as privileged structures because they are easy to prepare, have distinct reactivity, and have broad biological activity. They have also been used in the synthesis of natural products as an electrophile in the organoselenylation of aromatic systems and peptides, reductions of alkenes, and nucleophilic substitution. This review summarizes the advancements in methods for the transformations promoted by diorganyl diselenides in the main functions of organic chemistry. Parallel, it will also describe the main findings on pharmacology and toxicology of diorganyl diselenides, emphasizing anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, chemotherapeutic, and antimicrobial activities. Therefore, an examination detailing the reactivity and biological characteristics of diorganyl diselenides provides valuable insights for academic researchers and industrial professionals.

Food Chem X 2024; 22:101388. [PMID: 38665628 PMCID: PMC11043841 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2024.101388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 03/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The variety of enzyme-based biological preservatives is limited. This study evaluated the effects of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) on the quality of crayfish during refrigerated storage by measuring the pH, total volatile basic nitrogen, trimethylamine, and microbial contamination in crayfish muscle simulation system. The results revealed that 0.3% GSH-Px (CK3) not only suppressed the degradation of nitrogenous substances but also decreased the contamination levels of total viable, Enterobacteriaceae, and Pseudomonas counts (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the populations of Lactococcus, Aeromonas, and Massilia differed in the CK3 group compared to the other groups (P < 0.05) at the end of the storage (day 15). Moreover, the principal coordinate analysis showed that the colony composition of CK3 stored for 15 days was similar to that of the control group stored for 10 days. Therefore, GSH-Px exhibits antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria and has good application potential in freshwater aquatic product preservation.

Selenylated Imidazo [1,2- a]pyridine Induces Apoptosis and Oxidative Stress in 2D and 3D Models of Colon Cancer Cells. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:814.

Abstract
Colon cancer incidence rates are increasing annually, a scenario aggravated by genetic and epigenetic alterations that promote drug resistance. Recent studies showed that novel synthetic selenium compounds are more efficient and less toxic than conventional drugs, demonstrating biocompatibility and pro-oxidant effects on tumor cells. This study aimed to investigate the cytotoxic effect of MRK-107, an imidazo [1,2- a]pyridine derivative, in 2D and 3D cell culture models of colon cancer (Caco-2 and HT-29). Sulforhodamine B results revealed a GI50 of 2.4 µM for Caco-2, 1.1 µM for HT-29, and 22.19 µM for NIH/3T3 in 2D cultures after 48 h of treatment. Cell recovery, migration, clonogenic, and Ki-67 results corroborated that MRK-107 inhibits cell proliferation and prevents cell regeneration and metastatic transition by selectively reducing migratory and clonogenic capacity; non-tumor cells (NIH/3T3) re-established proliferation in less than 18 h. The oxidative stress markers DCFH-DA and TBARS revealed increased ROS generation and oxidative damage. Caspases-3/7 are activated and induce apoptosis as the main mode of cell death in both cell models, as assessed by annexin V-FITC and acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining. MRK-107 is a selective, redox-active compound with pro-oxidant and pro-apoptotic properties and the capacity to activate antiproliferative pathways, showing promise in anticancer drug research.

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.

Toxicology and pharmacology of synthetic organoselenium compounds: an update. Arch Toxicol 2021; 95:1179-1226.

Abstract
Here, we addressed the pharmacology and toxicology of synthetic organoselenium compounds and some naturally occurring organoselenium amino acids. The use of selenium as a tool in organic synthesis and as a pharmacological agent goes back to the middle of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries. The rediscovery of ebselen and its investigation in clinical trials have motivated the search for new organoselenium molecules with pharmacological properties. Although ebselen and diselenides have some overlapping pharmacological properties, their molecular targets are not identical. However, they have similar anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, possibly, via activation of transcription factors, regulating the expression of antioxidant genes. In short, our knowledge about the pharmacological properties of simple organoselenium compounds is still elusive. However, contrary to our early expectations that they could imitate selenoproteins, organoselenium compounds seem to have non-specific modulatory activation of antioxidant pathways and specific inhibitory effects in some thiol-containing proteins. The thiol-oxidizing properties of organoselenium compounds are considered the molecular basis of their chronic toxicity; however, the acute use of organoselenium compounds as inhibitors of specific thiol-containing enzymes can be of therapeutic significance. In summary, the outcomes of the clinical trials of ebselen as a mimetic of lithium or as an inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 proteases will be important to the field of organoselenium synthesis. The development of computational techniques that could predict rational modifications in the structure of organoselenium compounds to increase their specificity is required to construct a library of thiol-modifying agents with selectivity toward specific target proteins.

Abstract
Adhesion capacity on biological surfaces and biofilm formation is considered an important step in the infection process by Candida albicans. The ability of (PhSe)2 and (pCl-PhSe)2, two synthetic organic selenium (organochalcogen) compounds, to act on C. albicans virulence factors related to adhesion to human endocervical (HeLa) cell surfaces and their anti-biofilm activities was analyzed. Both organochalcogen compounds inhibited C. albicans adhesion to HeLa cells, dependent on compound concentrations. (PhSe)2 (at 20 µM; p = 0.0012) was significantly more effective than (pCl-PhSe)2 (at 20 µM; p = 0.0183) compared with the control. (PhSe)2 inhibited biofilm formation and decreased biofilm viability in both early and mature biofilms more efficiently than (pCl-PhSe)2. Overall, the organochalcogen compounds, especially (PhSe)2, were demonstrated to be effective antifungal drugs against C. albicans virulence factors related to epithelial cell surface adhesion and the formation and viability of biofilms.
