Diphenyl Diselenide Through Reduction of Inflammation, Oxidative Injury and Caspase-3 Activation Abates Doxorubicin-Induced Neurotoxicity in Rats. Neurochem Res 2024; 49:1076-1092.

Abstract
Neurotoxicity associated with chemotherapy is a debilitating side effect of cancer management in humans which reportedly involves inflammatory and oxidative stress responses. Diphenyl diselenide (DPDS) is an organoselenium compound which exhibits its anti-tumoral, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-mutagenic effects. Nevertheless, its possible effect on chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity is not known. Using rat model, we probed the behavioral and biochemical effects accompanying administration of antineoplastic agent doxorubicin (7.5 mg/kg) and DPDS (5 and 10 mg/kg). Anxiogenic-like behavior, motor and locomotor insufficiencies associated with doxorubicin were considerably abated by both DPDS doses with concomitant enhancement in exploratory behavior as demonstrated by reduced heat maps intensity and enhanced track plot densities. Moreover, with exception of cerebral glutathione (GSH) level, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities, biochemical data demonstrated reversal of doxorubicin-mediated decline in cerebral and cerebellar antioxidant status indices and the increase in acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity by both doses of DPDS. Also, cerebellar and cerebral lipid peroxidation, hydrogen peroxide as well as reactive oxygen and nitrogen species levels were considerably diminished in rats administered doxorubicin and DPDS. In addition, DPDS administration abated myeloperoxidase activity, tumour necrosis factor alpha and nitric oxide levels along with caspase-3 activity in doxorubicin-administered rats. Chemoprotection of doxorubicin-associated neurotoxicity by DPDS was further validated by histomorphometry and histochemical staining. Taken together, DPDS through offsetting of oxido-inflammatory stress and caspase-3 activation elicited neuroprotection in doxorubicin-treated rats.

Click Chemistry of Selenium Dihalides: Novel Bicyclic Organoselenium Compounds Based on Selenenylation/Bis-Functionalization Reactions and Evaluation of Glutathione Peroxidase-like Activity. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232415629. [PMID: 36555274 PMCID: PMC9779772 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232415629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
A number of highly efficient methods for the preparation of novel derivatives of 9-selenabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane in high yields based on selenium dibromide and cis,cis-1,5-cyclooctadiene are reported. The one-pot syntheses of 2,6-diorganyloxy-9-selenabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes using various O-nucleophiles including alkanols, phenols, benzyl, allyl, and propargyl alcohols were developed. New 2,6-bis(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-9-selenabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes were obtained by the copper-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 2,6-diazido-9-selenabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane with unsubstituted gaseous acetylene and propargyl alcohol. The synthesis of 2,6-bis(vinylsulfanyl)-9-selenabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, based on the generation of corresponding dithiolate anion from bis[amino(iminio)methylsulfanyl]-9-selenabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane dibromide, followed by the nucleophilic addition of the dithiolate anion to unsubstituted acetylene, was developed. The glutathione peroxidase-like activity of the obtained water-soluble products was estimated and compounds with high activity were found. Overall, 2,6-Diazido-9-selenabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane exhibits the highest activity among the obtained compounds.
