The process by which cancer cells evade or inhibit apoptosis is considered one of the characteristics cancer. ability to escape contributes tumor proliferation and promotes metastasis. discovery new antitumor agents essential for treatment due lack selectivity drugs cellular resistance anticancer agents. Several studies showed that macroalgae produce various metabolites with different biological activities among marine organisms. This review discusses multiple extracted from their pro-apoptotic effects through regulating signaling pathway target molecules structure-activity relationship. Twenty-four promising bioactive compounds have been reported, where eight these exhibited values maximum inhibitory concentration (IC50) less than 7 μg/mL. Fucoxanthin was only carotenoid reported induced in HeLa an IC50 below 1 µg/mL. Se-PPC (a complex proteins selenylated polysaccharides) magistral compound because it 2.5 µg/mL regulates primary critical genes both pathways. Therefore, this will help provide basis further development drugs, as single adjuvants, decreasing aggressiveness first-line offering patients better survival quality life.

We disclose herein a strategy for the rapid synthesis of versatile organoselenium compounds under mild conditions. In this work, magnesium-based selenium nucleophiles are formed in situ from easily available organic halides, magnesium metal, and elemental via mechanical stimulation. This process occurs liquid-assisted grinding (LAG) conditions, requires no complicated pre-activation procedures, operates broadly across diverse range aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl substrates. symmetrical diselenides efficiently obtained after work-up air, while one-pot nucleophilic addition reactions with various electrophiles allow comprehensive unsymmetrical monoselenides high functional group tolerance. Notably, method is applied to regioselective selenylation diiodoarenes polyaromatic aryl halides that difficult operate solution approaches. Besides selenium, sulfur tellurium also competent process, which showcases potential methodology facile organochalcogen compounds.

Strokes rank as the second most common cause of mortality and disability in human population across world. Currently, available methods treating or preventing strokes have significant limitations, primarily need to use high doses drugs due presence blood-brain barrier. In last decade, increasing attention has been paid capabilities nanotechnology. However, vast majority research this area is focused on mechanisms anticancer antiviral effects nanoparticles. our opinion, not enough neuroprotective nanomaterials. review, we attempted summarize key molecular brain cell damage during ischemia. We discussed current literature regarding various nanomaterials for treatment strokes. examined features all known nanomaterials, possibility which are currently being studied regard, positive negative properties identified. Particular review was nanoselenium since selenium a vital microelement part very important little-studied proteins, e.g., selenoproteins selenium-containing proteins.

Abstract The chemical and biological interest in this element the molecules bearing selenium has been exponentially growing over years. Selenium, formerly designated as a toxin, becomes vital trace for life that appears selenocysteine its dimeric form, selenocystine, active sites of selenoproteins, which catalyze wide variety reactions, including detoxification reactive oxygen species modulation redox activities. From point view drug developments, organoselenium drugs are isosteres sulfur‐containing oxygen‐containing with advantage presence atom confers antioxidant properties high lipophilicity, would increase cell membrane permeation leading to better oral bioavailability. This statement is paramount relevance considering big number clinically employed compounds sulfur or atoms their structures nucleosides carbohydrates. Thus, article we have focused on relevant features application medicinal chemistry. With increasing chemistry, attempted highlight most significant published data subject, mainly concentrating analysis last In consequence, recent advances pharmacological discussed.

Organodichalcogenides have been explored due to their therapeutic properties. They demonstrated be active against several diseases such as cancer, bacteria, viruses, parasites, or neurological diseases. Among the different classes of dichalcogenides, disulfide derivatives widely studied, and many studies cover therapeutical use. For this reason, review includes latest diselenides ditellurides with biological applications. With aim, bioactive small molecules containing diselenide ditelluride bond in structure discussed. Furthermore, it should highlighted that, recent years, there has an increasing interest development nanomaterials for drug delivery advantages. In context, ditelluride-containing nanocarriers emerged novel approaches. The information compiled more complex materials bonds applications, which could helpful further drugs treatment

Redox balance is important for the homeostasis of normal cells, but also proliferation, progression, and survival cancer cells. Both oxidative reductive stress can be harmful to In contrast stress, therapeutic opportunities underlying mechanisms in cancer, as well how cells respond have received little attention are not characterized. Therefore, there recent interest understanding selective induction may influence treatment disease progression cancer. There question stress. Selenium compounds been shown chemotherapeutic effects against their anticancer mechanism thought related formation metabolites, including hydrogen selenide (H2Se), which a highly reactive reducing molecule. Here, we highlight reports on molecular recognize (1) through different types selenium generate H2Se (2) thus selectively affect under controlled conditions, effects.
