Abstract
The first example of an electrochemical multicomponent synthesis of selenium-containing compounds with inexpensive and abundant elemental selenium as the selenating reagent was developed. A variety of selenazol-2-amines were constructed in high yields with good functional group tolerance under metal-free and chemical oxidant-free conditions.

Abstract
Developing c-MYC transcription inhibitors that target the G-quadruplex has generated significant interest; however, few compounds have demonstrated specificity for c-MYC G-quadruplex and cancer cells. In this study, we designed and synthesized a series of benzoazole derivatives as potential G-quadruplex ligand-based c-MYC transcription inhibitors. Surprisingly, benzoselenazole derivatives, which are rarely reported as G-quadruplex ligands, demonstrated greater c-MYC G-quadruplex selectivity and cancer cell specificity compared to their benzothiazole and benzoxazole analogues. The most promising compound, benzoselenazole m-Se3, selectively inhibited c-MYC transcription by specifically stabilizing the c-MYC G-quadruplex. This led to selective inhibition of hepatoma cell growth and proliferation by affecting the MYC target gene network, as well as effective tumor growth inhibition in hepatoma xenografts. Collectively, our study demonstrates that m-Se3 holds significant promise as a potent and selective inhibitor of c-MYC transcription for cancer treatment. Furthermore, our findings inspire the development of novel selenium-containing heterocyclic compounds as c-MYC G-quadruplex-specific ligands and transcription inhibitors.

Abstract
Bis(3-amino-1-hydroxybenzyl)diselenide containing two ortho groups was synthesized from 7-nitro-3H-2,1-benzoxaselenole and in situ generated sodium benzene tellurolate (PhTeNa). One-pot synthesis of 1,3-benzoselenazoles was achieved from bis(3-amino-1-hydroxybenzyl)diselenide and aryl aldehydes using acetic acid as a catalyst. The X-ray crystal structure of chloro-substituted benzoselenazole revealed a planar structure with T-shaped geometry around the Se atom. Both natural bond orbital and atoms in molecules calculations confirmed the presence of secondary Se···H interactions in bis(3-amino-1-hydroxybenzyl)diselenide and Se···O interactions in benzoselenazoles, respectively. The glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-like antioxidant activities of all compounds were evaluated using a thiophenol assay. Bis(3-amino-1-hydroxybenzyl)diselenide and benzoselenazoles showed better GPx-like activity compared to that of the diphenyl diselenide and ebselen, used as references, respectively. Based on 77Se{1H} NMR spectroscopy, a catalytic cycle for bis(3-amino-1-hydroxybenzyl)diselenide using thiophenol and hydrogen peroxide was proposed involving selenol, selenosulfide, and selenenic acid as intermediates. The potency of all GPx mimics was confirmed by their in vitro antibacterial properties against the biofilm formation of Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Additionally, molecular docking studies were used to evaluate the in silico interactions between the active sites of the TsaA and LasR-based proteins found in Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract
The present study reports a simple two-step method for the synthesis of arylselanyl hydrazide derivatives using hypophosphorous acid and polyethylene glycol (H3 PO2 /PEG-400) as an alternative reducing system and hydrazine hydrate (NH2 NH2 ⋅xH2 O/50-60 %). This single-vessel procedure was employed with methyl acrylate 2a and methyl bromoacetate 2b using diaryl diselenides to generate the nucleophile species to produce, respectively, 3-(arylselanyl)propane-hydrazides 4a-e and 2-(arylselanyl)acetohydrazides 5a-e with good yields by accelerating the reduction of -Se-Se- bond, when compared to available methods. The synthesized molecules are structurally similar to the isoniazid (INH). Therefore, we perform in silico molecular docking studies, using the lactoperoxidase enzyme, in order to verify whether the INH Se derivatives could interact in a similar way to INH at the active site of the mammalian enzyme. The in silico results indicated a similar type of interaction of the arylselanyl hydrazide derivatives with that of INH. In view of the similar in silico interaction of the selenium derivatives of INH, the arylselanyl hydrazide derivatives reported here should be tested against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro.
