Selenium is an essential trace element in living organisms, and is present in selenoenzymes
with antioxidant activity, like glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) …

Selenium compounds play an important role in redox homeostasis in living organisms. One
of their major functions is to suppress the harmful effects of hydrogen peroxide …

Here, the synthesis and catalytic activities of benzoimidazole-derived organoselenium
compounds have been explored. The synthesized bis (2-benzoimidazolyl) diselenide …

During attempts to prepare spirodithiaselenuranes as GPx mimetics, a series of unexpected
dimeric macrocycles was obtained, each containing two selenide and two disulfide moieties …

The selenium element is essential to some life forms and its biological-chemistry function is
mainly performed by the selenol/selenolate moiety (–SeH/–Se–) in a few selenoproteins …

Diaryl selenides containing o-hydroxymethylene substituents function as peroxide-
destroying mimetics of the antioxidant selenoenzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPx), via …

Hydrogen peroxide plays a crucial role in the melanogenesis process by regulating the
activity of the key melanin-forming enzyme tyrosinase, responsible for the browning of fruits …

To date, organoseleniums are pre-eminent for peroxide decomposition and radical
quenching antioxidant activities. On the contrary, here, a series of Janus-faced …

Amphiphilic derivatives of (±)-trans-1, 2-diselenane-4, 5-diol (DST ox) decorated with long
alkyl chains or aromatic substituents via ester linkages were applied as glutathione …

The synthesis of 1, 3-benzoselenazoles was achieved by the reaction of corresponding bis
[3-amino-N-(p-tolyl) benzamide-2-yl] diselenide, bis [3-amino-N-(4-methoxyphenyl) …
