Selenocyanates and diselenides: A new class of potent antileishmanial agents
摘要:
Thirty five selenocyanate and diselenide compounds were subjected to in vitro screening against Leishmania infantum promastigotes and the most active ones were also tested in an axenic amastigote model. In order to establish the selectivity indexes (SI) the cytotoxic effect of each compound was also assayed against Jurkat and THP-1 cell lines.Thirteen derivatives exhibit better IC50 values than miltefosine and edelfosine. Bis(4-aminophenyl) diselenide exhibits the best activity when assayed in infected macrophages and one of the lowest cytotoxic activities against the human cell lines tested, with SI values of 32 and 24 against Jurkat and THP-1 cells, respectively. This compound thus represents a new lead for further studies aimed at establishing its mechanism of action. (C) 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
A practical method for the umpolung selenocyanation of aryl ketones, alkyl ketones, β-ketoesters and electron-rich arenes has been developed, affording various selenocyanates in moderate to excellent yields. This transformation proceeds by an oxidative umpolung selenocyanation through nitrogen oxides-mediated electrophilic selenocyanation process. This method is simpler, more efficient, and less costly

trifluoromethyl moiety was reacted with aromatic and heterocyclic selenium cyanide derivatives to form the corresponding trifluoromethylselenium compounds. Selenium cyanides were made with 1,3-dicyanotriselenide prepared in situ from malononitrile and selenium dioxide. The electrophilicity of the reagent (δ+SeCN) was enough to attack aniline derivatives at the para position, but with other aromatics it

A new electrophilic selenocyanation reagent N-selenocyanato-dibenzenesulfonimide was readily prepared in two steps from commercially available dibenzenesulfonimide for the first time. A variety of electrophilic selenocyanato reactions of nucleophiles have been achieved using it as selenocyanato source under mild and simple conditions. Numerous SeCN-containing compounds were obtained in moderate to
