Abstract
Nanomaterials in particular the magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) offer tremendous potential for cancer treatment due to their unique intrinsic properties. Combining materials with a variety of functional groups, and forming a multifunctional nanosystem to overcome the limitations of monotherapy for cancer treatment has always been a research focus with notable difficulties. Considering the many challenges faced by radiotherapy and hyperthermia, in this study, we designed a rational strategy for magnetic hyperthermia using Fe3O4@SiO2@Sec2@FA nanoparticles as a novel nano-radiosensitizer to simultaneously enhance the therapeutic effects of radiotherapy in the future. Fe3O4@SiO2 core-shell structured nanoparticles were synthesized with an appropriate silica layer thickness to maintain good saturation magnetization. The as-prepared Fe3O4@SiO2@Sec2@FA nanoparticles had the specific absorption rate (SAR)value of 57 W/g, which was below the clinically acceptable alternating magnetic field value of 4.9 × 109 Am-1s-1, indicating good heat generation efficiency (the temperature level ΔT=6-10 °C). Moreover, Folate-modified nanoparticles exhibited approximately 6-fold higher cellular internalization of Hela cells with no obvious cytotoxicity for the Hela and MDA-MB-231 cells, and lower cytotoxicity for the HUVECs in a concentration range of 0-150 µg/mL. In addition, these nanoparticles were modified on the silica surface by L-selenocystine, which could enhance the elimination of tumor cells by producing reactive oxygen species under X-rays, resulting in a novel radiosensitization effect. Therefore, the as-prepared Fe3O4@SiO2@Sec2@FA nanoparticles with good biocompatibility and active targeting would possess synergistic magnetic hyperthermia/radiotherapy effect.

OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:3710449.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a notably lethal brain tumor associated with high proliferation rate and therapeutic resistance, while currently effective treatment options are still lacking. Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives and organoselenium compounds are largely used in medicinal chemistry and drug development. This study is aimed at further investigating the antitumor mechanism of IP-Se-06 (3-((2-methoxyphenyl)selanyl)-7-methyl-2-phenylimidazol[1,2-a]pyridine), a selenylated imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivative in glioblastoma cells. IP-Se-06 exhibited high cytotoxicity against A172 cells (IC50 = 1.8 μM) and selectivity for this glioblastoma cell. The IP-Se-06 compound has pharmacological properties verified in its ADMET profile, especially related to blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. At low concentration (1 μM), IP-Se-06 induced intracellular redox state modulation with depletion of TrxR and GSH levels as well as inhibition of NRF2 protein. IP-Se-06 also decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, induced cytochrome c release, and chromatin condensation. Furthermore, IP-Se-06 induced apoptosis by decreasing levels of Bcl-xL while increasing levels of γ-H2AX and p53 proteins. Treatment with IP-Se-06 induced cell cycle arrest and showed antiproliferative effect by inhibition of Akt/mTOR/HIF-1α and ERK 1/2 signaling pathways. In addition, IP-Se-06 displayed significant inhibition of p38 MAPK and p-p38, leading to inhibition of inflammasome complex proteins (NLRP3 and caspase-1) in glioblastoma cells. These collective findings demonstrated that IP-Se-06 is a bioactive molecule that can be considered a candidate for the development of a novel drug for glioblastoma treatment.

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
Recent studies on flavonoids forming complexes with macromolecules attract researchers due to their enhanced bioavailability as well as chemo-preventive efficacy. In this study, a flavonoid rutin (Ru) is non-covalently complexed with fucoidan (Fu) using the functional groups to obtain a therapeutic polymeric complex overcoming the limitations of bioavailability of rutin. The prepared novel rutin-fucoidan (Ru-Fu) complex is characterized for spectroscopic features, particle size and distribution analysis by DLS. It is shown that the complex displayed the nanostructural features that are different from that of the usual rutin-fucoidan mixture. The studies on drug release profiles at different pH (5.5, 6.8 and 7.4) show that the sustained release of compounds from complex occurs preferentially at the desired endosomal pH (5.5). Further, the chemopreventive potential of Ru-Fu complex is investigated against HeLa cells by cellular apoptotic assays and flow cytometric analysis. It showed that the complex is able to disrupt cell cycle regulation and has the ability to induce cellular apoptosis via nuclear fragmentation, ROS generation and mitochondrial potential loss. In vitro cell viability assay with Ru-Fu complex shows that the complex is biocompatible on normal cells. The hemolysis assay also reveals that the complex does not release hemoglobin from human red blood cells (RBCs). Thus, the study is envisaged to open up interests for developing such formulations against cervical cancer and other cancers.

Abstract
Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have attracted great attention because of their superior optical properties and wide utilization in biological and biomedical studies. This paper reports an environmentally benign procedure of greener monodispersible SeNP synthesis using the reducing power of Trigonella foenum-graecum extract, characterization and their protective effect against unfolded (Herring sperm DNA) hsDNA. We investigated the anti-cancer activity of SeNPs against MCF-7, MDA MB 435 and COLO-205 cells. The photocatalytic activity of SeNPs was investigated for the degradation of a Sunset Yellow FCF (SYFCF) dye using ultraviolet-B light. The reduction of the Se ion to SeNPs was monitored by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis). The size and morphology of the SeNPs were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). The SeNPs were stable, and the diameter was homogeneous at around 5-12 nm. Interactions of various concentrations of SeNPs with hsDNA were systematically investigated by UV-vis, fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD), polarimetry and FTIR spectroscopy under physiological conditions. The results from fluorescence spectroscopy indicated that SeNPs quenched the fluorescence intensity of hsDNA with increasing concentrations. The modified Stern-Volmer quenching rate constant Ksv, binding constant K and binding sites n at different temperatures and the corresponding thermodynamic parameters ΔH°, ΔG° and ΔS° were calculated. Hoechst 33258 and methyl green (MG) site markers, melting experiment (Tm), viscosity measurements and sequence specificity verification by DNA bases clarified that SeNPs bind to hsDNA via a groove site. The rate of photocatalytic degradation of the SYFCF dye in the presence and absence of photocatalysts (SeNPs) was studied using UV-vis, the results showed appreciable degradation of the SYFCF dye. Our results suggested that nano Se can be used as a promising selenium species with potential application in cancer treatment. These nanoparticles were found to be the most active cytotoxic agent prepared in a new green synthesis manner, causing >50% inhibition of MCF-7, MDA MB-435 and COLO-205 cell proliferation at concentrations <10(-7) M. Hence these SeNPs could be recognized as promising materials for biomedical applications.
