Novel selenocyanate and diselenide derivatives containing a carbamate moiety were synthesised and evaluated in vitro to determine their cytotoxic and radical scavenging properties. Cytotoxic activity was tested against a panel of human cell lines including CCRF-CEM (lymphoblastic leukaemia), HT-29 (colon carcinoma), HTB-54 (lung carcinoma), PC-3 (prostate carcinoma), MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma), 184B5 (non-malignant, mammary gland derived) and BEAS-2B (non-malignant, derived from bronchial epithelium). Most of the compounds displayed high antiproliferative activity with GI50 values below 10 μM in MCF-7, CCRF-CEM and PC-3 cells. Radical scavenging properties of the new selenocompounds were confirmed testing their ability to scavenge DPPH and ABTS radicals. Based on the activity of selenium-based glutathione peroxidases (GPxs), compounds 1a, 2e and 2h were further screened for their capacity to reduce hydrogen peroxide under thiol presence. Results suggest that compound 1a mimics GPxs activity. Cytotoxic parameters, radical scavenging activity and ADME profile point to 1a as promising drug candidate.
Synthesis and antiproliferative activity of novel methylselenocarbamates

A series of new aliphatic, aromatic and heteroaromatic carbamate derivatives containing a methylseleno moiety were synthesized and evaluated in vitro for their cytotoxic activity against a panel of human cell lines including CCRF-CEM (lymphoblastic leukaemia), K-562 (lymphocytic leukaemia), HT-29 (colon carcinoma), HTB-54 (lung carcinoma), PC-3 (prostate carcinoma), MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma), 184B5 (non-malignant, mammary gland derived) and BEAS-2B (non-malignant, derived from bronchial epithelium). Most of the compounds are highly cytotoxic with GI50 values below 10 μM in every tested tumour cell line. Based on its cytotoxic parameters, selectivity index and ADME profile, the biological activity of compound 2, the propyl derivative, was further analysed in CCRF-CEM and HTB-54 cells. Results showed that this compound is able to induce apoptosis in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Involvement of caspases in cell death induction by 2 was detected. Besides, compound 2 was also able to induce cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 in CCRF-CEM cells and at G2/M in HTB-54 cells.

A series of thirty-three thymol, p-cymene-3-carboxylic acid, and 3-amino-p-cymene derivatives was synthesized and tested on TRPA1, TRPM8, and TRPV3 channels. Most of them acted as strong modulators of TRPA1, TRPM8, and TRPV3 channels with EC50 and/or IC50 values distinctly lower than those of thymol and related monoterpenoids. Some of the compounds examined, that is, 3c, 4e, f, 6b, and 8b exhibited an appreciable subtype-selectivity.
