Abstract
There is an urgent need to develop safer and more effective modalities for the treatment of numerous pathologies due to the increasing rates of drug resistance, undesired side effects, poor clinical outcomes, etc. Over the past decades, cyclodextrins (CDs) have gathered great attention as potential drug carriers due to their ability to enhance their bioactivities and properties. Likewise, selenium (Se) and tellurium (Te) have been extensively studied during the last decades due to their possible therapeutical applications. Although there is limited research on the relationship between Se and Te and CDs, herein, we highlight different representative examples of the advances related to this topic as well as give our view on the future directions of this emerging area of research. This review encompasses three different aspects of this relationship: (1) modification of the structure of the different CDs; (2) formation of host-guest interaction complexes of naïve CDs with Se and Te derivatives in order to overcome specific limitations of the latter; and (3) the use of CDs as catalysts to achieve novel Se and Te compounds.

Selenium-Functionalized Corn Starch as a Biodegradable GPx Mimic with High Catalytic Performance. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13244309.

Abstract
Selenium-functionalized starch (Se-starch80) is one of the main functional foods used for selenium supplementation. In traditional agriculture, Se-starch has some deficiencies such as long growth cycle and unstable selenium content that prevent its antioxidant performance. In this study, Se-starch was prepared by the nucleophilic addition between NaSeH and carbon-carbon double bond of octenyl succinic anhydride waxy corn starch ester (OSA starch). Some techniques such as 1HNMR, XPS, SEM-EDS, XRD and FT-IR were used to characterize the relevant samples and the results showed that the modification did not destroy the starch framework significantly and the catalytic center (negative divalent selenium) was anchored on the starch framework. The intensive distribution of catalytic center on the starch surface and the hydrophobic microenvironments derived from the OSA chains furnished the Se-starch80 with a high GPx-like catalytic activity (initial reaction rate = 3.64 μM/min). This value was about 1.5 × 105 times higher than that of a typical small-molecule GPx mimic (PhSeSePh). In addition, the Se-starch80, without any cytotoxicity, showed a saturated kinetic catalytic behavior that is similar to a typical enzyme. This work exemplifies a biodegradable selenium-functionalized polymer platform for the high-performing GPx mimic.

Abstract
Macrocyclic compounds have been studied extensively as the host molecules in supramolecular chemistry. Their structural characteristics make macrocycles desirable in the field of molecular recognition, which is the key to high catalytic efficiencies of natural enzymes. Therefore, macrocycles are ideal building blocks for the design of bioinspired catalysts. This mini review highlights recent advances ranging from single-molecule to metal-organic framework materials, exhibiting multilevel macrocycle catalysts with unique catalytic centers and substrate-binding affinities.

Abstract
Organic selenides are famous for their coordination and catalytic functions in the organic phase, albeit challenging for aqueous medium. Herein, the combination of a hydrophilic body of crown ether and substitution of one oxygen atom with a selenium one provides a new type of design route for organic selenide entities with charming functions in aqueous solution. The selenacrown ether C9Se presented here intrinsically shows an amphiphile-like property. Its nanosphere structure in water readily expands the catalysis of organic selenide to aqueous substrates in thiol/disulfide conversion.

Abstract
Two organoselenium compounds, both of which were modified with two primary amine groups, were designed and synthesized to mimic the catalytic properties of glutathione peroxidase (GPx). It was demonstrated that the catalytic mechanism of the diselenide organoselenium compound (compound 1) was a ping-pong mechanism while that of the selenide organoselenium compound (compound 2) was a sequential mechanism. The pH-controlled switching of the catalytic activities was achieved by controlling the formation and dissociation of the pseudorotaxanes based on the organoselenium compounds and cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]). Moreover, the switching was reversible at pH between 7 and 9 for compound 1 or between 7 and 10 for compound 2.

Abstract
Excessive reactive oxygen free radicals (ROS) are the main cause of various oxidative diseases. It is of great significance to develop antioxidant drugs that can intelligently regulate free radical concentrations. The biomimetic simulation of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) can provide an important theoretical basis for the development of antioxidant drugs. In order to explore a simple and efficient strategy for constructing biomimetic GPx, a microgel biomimetic GPx (PNTegel) with temperature responsive catalytic activity was prepared by a one-pot synthesis method. The PNTegel, with typical enzymatic catalytic characteristics, exhibited a maximum catalytic activity at 37 °C (υ0 = 11.51 mM min−1). The investigation of the catalytic mechanism of PNTegel suggested that the binding of different hydrophobic substrates to PNTegel was altered by the change of hydrophobicity of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) in the microgel scaffold of PNTegel during the temperature response process. The change of hydrophobicity was the main factor for regulating the catalytic activity of PNTegel, which resulted in a temperature responsive catalytic behavior of PNTegel. This new strategy for the simple and efficient construction of biomimetic GPx by a one-pot method provides important theoretical support for exploring the preparation of highly effective antioxidant drugs. A microgel-based biomimetic glutathione peroxidase with temperature responsive catalytic behavior is synthesized by integrating atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) technology into one-pot synthesis.![]()

Abstract
We have quantum chemically explored the mechanism of the substitution reaction between CH3X(-) and the homo- and heterodichalcogenides CH3X'X″CH3 (X, X', X″ = S, Se, Te) using relativistic density functional theory at ZORA-OLYP/TZ2P and COSMO for simulating the effect of aqueous solvation. In the gas phase, all substitution reactions proceed via a triple-well addition-elimination mechanism that involves a stable three-center intermediate. Aqueous solvation, in some cases, switches the character of the mechanism to double-well SN2 in which the stable three-center intermediate has become a labile transition state. We rationalize reactivity trends and some puzzling aspects of these elementary reactions, in particular, vanishing activation energies and ghost three-center intermediates, using the activation strain model (ASM).

Abstract
Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) is a major defense against hydroperoxides as a kind of seleno-enzyme that protects cells from oxidative damage. A supramolecular vesicle with controllable GPx activity and morphology has been successfully constructed by the self-assembly of supra-amphiphiles formed by host-guest recognition between cyclodextrin and adamantane derivatives. By introducing thermosensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) scaffolds and the catalytic moiety selenium into adamantane and cyclodextrin, respectively, the complex of catalysis-functionalized cyclodextrin with thermosensitivity-functionalized adamantane directed the formation of a supramolecular vesicle which acted as a GPx mimic at 37 °C. The self-assembled nanoenzyme exhibited an obvious temperature responsive characteristic and high GPx-like catalytic activity promoting the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) with glutathione (GSH) as the reducing substrate at 37 °C. However, the vesicle disassembled when the temperature decreased to 25 °C due to the transition of PNIPAM between the coil and the globule. Interestingly, the catalytic activity changed along with the transformation of morphologies. The vesicle structure self-assembled at 37 °C provided the favorable microenvironment for the enzymatic reaction, hence we successfully developed a temperature-responsive nanoenzyme model. Moreover, the catalytic activity of the thermosensitive GPx mimic exhibited excellent reversibility and typical saturation kinetics behaviour similar to a natural enzyme catalyst. It is assumed that the proposed GPx model not only has remarkable advantages such as easy functionalization and facile preparation but also provided a new way to develop intelligent responsive materials.

Abstract
In an effort to construct smart artificial glutathione peroxidase (GPx) featuring high catalytic activity in an efficient preparation process, an artificial microgel GPx (PPAM-ADA-Te) has been prepared using a supramolecular host-guest self-assembly technique. Herein, 6,6'-telluro-bis(6-deoxy-β-cyclodextrin) (CD-Te-CD) was selected as a tellurium-containing host molecule, which also served as the crosslinker for the scaffold of the supramolecular microgel. And an adamantane-containing block copolymer (PPAM-ADA) was designed and synthesized as a guest building block copolymer. Subsequently, PPAM-ADA-Te was constructed through the self-assembly of CD-Te-CD and PPAM-ADA. The formation of this self-assembled construct was confirmed by dynamic light scattering, NMR, SEM and TEM. Notably, PPAM-ADA-Te not only exhibits a significant temperature responsive catalytic activity, but also features the characteristic saturation kinetics behaviour similar to that of a natural enzyme catalyst. We demonstrate in this paper that both the hydrophobic microenvironment and the crosslinker in this supramolecular microgel network played significant roles in enhancing and altering the temperature responsive catalytic behaviour. The successful construction of PPAM-ADA-Te not only provides a novel method for the preparation of microgel artificial GPx with high catalytic activity but also provides properties suitable for the future development of intelligent antioxidant drugs.

Abstract
Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) protects cells from oxidative damage by scavenging surplus reactive oxygen species (ROS). Commonly, an appropriate amount of ROS acts as a signal molecule in the metabolism. A smart artificial GPx exhibits adjustable catalytic activity, which can potentially reduce the amount of ROS to an appropriate degree and maintain its important physiological functions in metabolism. To construct an optimum and excellent smart artificial GPx, a novel supramolecular microgel artificial GPx (SM-Te) was prepared based on the supramolecular host-guest interaction employing the tellurium-containing guest molecule (ADA-Te-ADA) and the cyclodextrin-containing host block copolymer (poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-b-[polyacrylamides-co-poly(6-o-(triethylene glycol monoacrylate ether)-β-cyclodextrin)], PPAM-CD) as building blocks. Subsequently, based on these building blocks, SM-Te was constructed and the formation of its self-assembled structure was confirmed by dynamic light scattering, NMR, SEM, TEM, etc. Typically, benefitting from the temperature responsive properties of the PNIPAM scaffold, SM-Te also exhibited similar temperature responsive behaviour. Importantly, the GPx catalytic rates of SM-Te displayed a noticeable temperature responsive characteristic. Moreover, SM-Te exhibited the typical saturation kinetics behaviour of a real enzyme catalyst. It was proved that the changes of the hydrophobic microenvironment and the pore size in the supramolecular microgel network of SM-Te played significant roles in altering the temperature responsive catalytic behaviour. The successful construction of SM-Te not only overcomes the insurmountable disadvantages existing in previous covalent bond crosslinked microgel artificial GPx but also bodes well for the development of novel intelligent antioxidant drugs.

Abstract
Smart supramolecular nanoenzymes with temperature-driven switching property have been successfully constructed by the self-assembly of supra-amphiphiles formed by the cyclodextrin-based host-guest chemistry. The self-assembled nanostructures were catalyst-functionalized and thermosensitively-functionalized through conveniently linking the catalytic center of glutathione peroxidase and thermosensitive polymer to the host cyclodextrin molecules.The ON-OFF switches for the peroxidase activity by reversible transformation of nanostructures from tube to sphere have been achieved through changing the temperature. We anticipate that such intelligent enzyme mimics could be developed to use in an antioxidant medicine with controlled catalytic efficiency according to the needs of the human body in the future.

Abstract
Organochalcogen compounds have attracted the interest of a multitude of studies to design potential therapeutic agents mimicking the peroxidase activity of selenium-based glutathione peroxidases (GPx's). Starting from the pioneering ebselen, various compounds have been synthesized over the years, which may be traced in three major classes of molecules: cyclic selenenyl amides, diaryl diselenides, and aromatic or aliphatic monoselenides. These compounds share common features and determinants needed to exert an efficient GPx-like activity, such as polarizing groups in close proximity to selenium and steric effects. Nonetheless, the reactivity of selenium, and tellurium as well, poses serious problems for the predictability of the biological effects of these compounds in vivo when used as potential drugs. These molecules, indeed, interfere with thiols of redox-regulated proteins and enzymes, leading to unexpected biological effects. The various chemical aspects of the reaction mechanism of peroxidase mimetics are surveyed here, focusing on experimental evidence and quantum mechanics calculations of organochalcogen representatives of the various classes.

Abstract
The design of artificial catalysts able to compete with the catalytic proficiency of enzymes is an intense subject of research. Non-covalent interactions are thought to be involved in several properties of enzymatic catalysis, notably (i) the confinement of the substrates and the active site within a catalytic pocket, (ii) the creation of a hydrophobic pocket in water, (iii) self-replication properties and (iv) allosteric properties. The origins of the enhanced rates and high catalytic selectivities associated with these properties are still a matter of debate. Stabilisation of the transition state and favourable conformations of the active site and the product(s) are probably part of the answer. We present here artificial catalysts and biomacromolecule hybrid catalysts which constitute good models towards the development of truly competitive artificial enzymes.

Abstract
A catalytic reduction of graphene oxide (GO) by glutathione peroxidase (GPx) mimics is reported. This study reveals that GO contains peroxide functionalities, in addition to the epoxy, hydroxyl and carboxylic acid groups that have been identified earlier. It also is shown that GO acts as a peroxide substrate in the GPx-like catalytic activity of organoselenium/tellurium compounds. The reaction of tellurol, generated from the corresponding ditelluride, reduces GO through the glutathione (GSH)-mediated cleavage of the peroxide linkage. The mechanism of GO reduction by the tellurol in the presence of GSH involves the formation of a tellurenic acid and tellurenyl sulfide intermediates. Interestingly, the GPx mimics also catalyze the decarboxylation of the carboxylic acid functionality in GO at ambient conditions. Whereas the selenium/tellurium-mediated catalytic reduction/decarboxylation of GO may find applications in bioremediation processes, this study suggests that the modification of GO by biologically relevant compounds such as redox proteins must be taken into account when using GO for biomedical applications because such modifications can alter the fundamental properties of GO.

Abstract
Herein, we report the construction of a novel hydrolase model via self-assembly of a synthetic amphiphilic short peptide (Fmoc-FFH-CONH2) into nanotubes. The peptide-based self-assembled nanotubes (PepNTs-His) with imidazolyl groups as the catalytic centers exhibit high catalytic activity for p-nitrophenyl acetate (PNPA) hydrolysis. By replacement of the histidine of Fmoc-FFH-CONH2 with arginine to produce a structurally similar peptide Fmoc-FFR-CONH2, guanidyl groups can be presented in the nanotubes through the co-assembly of these two molecules to stabilize the transition state of the hydrolytic reaction. Therefore significantly improved catalytic activity has been achieved by the reasonable distribution of three dominating catalytic factors: catalytic center, binding site and transition state stabilization to the co-assembled peptide nanotubes (PepNTs-His-Argmax). The resulting hydrolase model shows typical saturation kinetics behaviour to that of natural enzymes and the catalytic efficiency of a single catalytic center is 519-fold higher than that without catalysts. As for a nanotube with multi-catalytic centers, a remarkable catalytic efficiency could be achieved with the increase of building blocks. This model suggests that the well ordered and dynamic supramolecular structure is an attractive platform to develop new artificial enzymes to enhance the catalytic activity. Besides, this novel peptide-based material has excellent biocompatibility with human cells and is expected to be applied to organisms as a substitute for natural hydrolases.

Abstract
RATIONALE 2,2'-Ditellurobis(2-deoxy-β-cyclodextrin) (2-TeCD) is one of the most well-known glutathione peroxidase (GPx) mimics. However, because the critical reaction intermediates had not previously been isolated or directly detected due to its short lifetime, the catalytic mechanism of 2-TeCD is not very clear and further experiments are needed to characterize each of the intermediates in the catalytic cycle. METHODS Using electrospray ionization mass (and tandem) spectrometry (ESI-MS and ESI-MS/MS) experiments, the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide at the expense of glutathione (GSH) catalyzed by 2-TeCD was monitored on-line. RESULTS The key intermediates were successfully intercepted and structurally characterized for the first time by coupling a microreactor on-line to the ESI ion source, which permitted the fast screening of intermediates directly from solution. CONCLUSIONS The catalytic mechanism of 2-TeCD catalysis has been elaborated based on mass spectrometric data and exerted its peroxidase activity via tellurol, tellurenic acid, and tellurosulfide, in analogy with natural GPX.

Abstract
Construction of catalytic centers on natural protein aggregates is a challenging topic in biomaterial and biomedicine research. Here we report a novel construction of artificial nanoenzyme with glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-like function. By engineering the surface of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) coat protein, the main catalytic components of GPx were fabricated on TMV protein monomers. Through direct self-assembly of the functionalized viral coat proteins, the multi-GPx centers were installed on these well-defined nanodisks or nanotubes. With the help of muti-selenoenzyme centers, the resulting organized nanoenzyme exhibited remarkable GPx activity, even approaching the level of natural GPx. The antioxidation study on subcell mitochondrial level demonstrated that virus-based nanoenzyme exerted excellent capacity for protecting cell from oxidative damage. This strategy represents a new way to develop artificial nanoenzymes.

Abstract
Living systems are replete with complex, stimuli-responsive nanoscale materials and molecular self-assemblies. There is an ever increasing and intense interest within the chemical sciences to understand, mimic and interface with these biological systems utilizing synthetic and/or semi-synthetic tools. Our aim in this review is to give perspective on this emerging field of research by highlighting examples of polymeric nanoparticles and micelles that are prepared utilizing biopolymers together with synthetic polymers for the purpose of developing nanomaterials capable of interacting and responding to biologically relevant stimuli. It is expected that with the merging of evolved biological molecules with synthetic materials, will come the ability to prepare complex, functional devices. A variety of applications will become accessible including self-healing materials, self-replicating systems, biodiagnostic tools, drug targeting materials and autonomous, adaptive sensors. Most importantly, the success of this type of strategy will impact how biomolecules are stabilized and incorporated into synthetic devices and at the same time, will influence how synthetic materials are utilized within biomedical applications.

Abstract
The conformation and binding behavior of 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl disulfide bridged bis(β-cyclodextrin) (1) towards representative aliphatic oligopeptides, i.e., Leu-Gly, Gly-Leu, Glu-Glu, Met-Met, Gly-Gly, Gly-Gly-Gly, and Gly-Pro, were investigated by circular dichroism, fluorescence, and 1H and 2D NMR spectroscopy at 25 °C in phosphate buffer (pH 7.20). The results indicated that 1 acts as an efficient fluorescent sensor and displays remarkable fluorescence enhancement upon addition of optically inert oligopeptides. Owing to the cooperative host–linker–guest binding mode in which the linker and guest are coincluded in the two cyclodextrin cavities, the bis(β-cyclodextrin) 1 gives high binding constants of up to 103–104 (mol/L)–1 for oligopeptides. The bis(β-cyclodextrin) 1 can recognize not only the size and shape of oligopeptides but also the hydrophobicity, giving an exciting residue selectivity of up to 61.3 for the Gly-Leu/Glu-Glu pair. These phenomena are discussed from the viewpoints of multiple recognition and induce-fit interactions between host and guest.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) exhibits potent antitumor activity via membrane receptors on cancer cells without deleterious side effects for normal tissue. Unfortunately, breast cancer cells, as many other cancer types, develop resistance to TRAIL; therefore, TRAIL sensitizing agents are currently being explored. 2-Tellurium-bridged β-cyclodextrin (2-TeCD) is a synthetic organotellurium compound, with both glutathione peroxidase-like catalytic ability and thioredoxin reductase inhibitor activity. In the present study, we reported that 2-TeCD sensitized TRAIL-resistant human breast cancer cells and xenograft tumors to undergo apoptosis. In vitro, 2-TeCD efficiently sensitized MDA-MB-468 and T47D cells, but not untransformed human mammary epithelial cells, to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis, as evidenced by enhanced caspase activity and poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase cleavage. From a mechanistic standpoint, we showed that 2-TeCD treatment of breast cancer cells significantly upregulated the messenger RNA and protein levels of TRAIL receptor, death receptor (DR) 5, in a transcription factor Sp1-dependent manner. 2-TeCD treatment also suppressed TRAIL-induced nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) prosurvival pathways by preventing cytosolic IκBα degradation, as well as p65 nuclear translocation. Consequently, the combined administration suppressed anti-apoptotic molecules that are transcriptionally regulated by NF-κB. In vivo, 2-TeCD and TRAIL were well tolerated in mice and their combination significantly inhibited growth of MDA-MB-468 xenografts and promoted apoptosis. Upregulation of DR5 and downregulation of NF-κB by the dual treatment were also observed in tumor tissues. Overall, 2-TeCD sensitizes resistant breast cancer cells to TRAIL-based apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. These findings provide strong evidence for the therapeutic potential of this combination against breast cancers.
