Enzyme mimics or artificial enzymes are a class of catalysts that have been actively pursued
for decades and have heralded much interest as potentially viable alternatives to natural …

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 …

Organochalcogen compounds (containing S, Se and Te) are interesting either for use as an
intermediate in the synthesis of complex molecules or for the exploitation of their biological …

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 …

Nanomaterials with intrinsic enzymatic activity are often referred to as nanozymes. They
exhibit many advantages over natural enzymes such as temporal and thermal stability …

The antioxidant properties of organoselenium compounds have been extensively
investigated with the aim of developing new drugs, since oxidative stress is responsible for a …

Background: This study presents the synthesis and multi-target behavior of the new 5'-
hydroxy-3-(chalcogenyl-triazoyl)-thymidine and the biological evaluation of these …

We describe here an efficient and regioselective synthesis of arylselanyl anilines by copper‐
catalyzed direct arylselenation of arylamines. Using a catalytic amount of copper iodide in …

The discovery and synthetic applications of novel organoselenium compounds and their
reactions proceeded rapidly during the past fifty years and such processes are now carried …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are responsible for many of civilization's diseases, including
cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease, decomposition of products in the food industry …
