Selenium is an essential trace element for animals and its role in the chemistry of life relies
on a unique functional group: the selenol (–SeH) group. The selenol group participates in …

In this review, we summarized the potential role of synthetic organoseleno compounds as
therapeutic or toxic agents, giving emphasis almost exclusively to diphenyl diselenide, the …

Abstract δ-ALA-D is a metalloenzyme that has 3 vicinal thiol/thiolate groups that coordinate
with Zn (ii). The proximity between the sulfhydryl groups renders δ-ALA-D extremely …

The oxidation of organic phenylselenides by H2O2 is investigated in model compounds,

Selenium based diaryl dichalcogenides are compounds that are receiving attention in
organic synthesis as eco‐friendly oxidation agents as well as in pharmaceutical chemistry …

Since the successful use of the organoselenium drug ebselen in clinical trials for the
treatment of neuropathological conditions associated with oxidative stress, there have been …

Organodiselenides are an important class of compounds characterized by the presence of
two adjacent covalently bonded selenium nuclei. Among them, diaryldiselenides and their …

Toxicity of selenomethionine, an organic derivative of selenium widely used as supplement
