Ebselen is an organoselenium compound that exhibits a glutathione peroxidase-like activity. The kinetics of ebselen degradation in basic aqueous solution containing primary alcohol was investigated by HPLC. The reversible reaction of ebselen and its dimer (diselenide) was discovered as a novel redox reaction. This reaction followed first-order degradation in basic solution at a constant temperature, and the equilibrium constants of ebselen and diselenide depended on pH. Analysis of the degradation rate for the forward reaction-pH profile indicated that specific base catalysis occurs in ebselen. The mechanism of this redox reaction was investigated by HPLC, spectrophotometry and trapping the labile intermediate with trichloroethylene. Ebselen decomposes to diselenide via selenenic acid and selenol by reacting with primary alcohol. The deuterium isotope effect on the forward reaction indicated that the reaction rate depends on the strength of the hydrogen-carbon bond at the α-position of primary alcohol. On the other hand, the effect of nitrogen replacement on the reverse reaction showed that diselenide is converted into ebselen by oxidation with oxygen existing in the solution.

A new one-step method for the synthesis of diaryl diselenides has been developed. The reaction of o-iodobenzamides with dilithium diselenide can be controlled by the presence of water providing a simple and efficient protocol to obtain benzisoselenazolones or diaryl diselenides. A series of N-Aryl ebselen derivatives and the corresponding diselenides was obtained. All synthesized compounds were tested in vitro as antioxidants and cytotoxic agents. N-(2,3,4-Trimethoxyphenyl)benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one was the best in vitro antioxidant and the corresponding diselenide the most potent cytotoxic agent against prostate cancer cell line DU145, being inactive towards healthy prostate cell line PNT1A. Formula parented.

Urease inhibitors are considered promising compounds for the treatment of ureolytic bacterial infections, particularly infections resulting from Helicobacter pylori in the gastric tract. Herein, we present the synthesis and the inhibitory activity of novel and highly effective organoselenium compounds as inhibitors of Sporosarcina pasteurii and Helicobacter pylori ureases. These studied compounds represent a class of competitive reversible urease inhibitors. The most active compound, 2-phenyl-1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one (ebselen), displayed Kivalues equal to 2.11 and 226 nM against S. pasteurii and H. pylori enzymes, respectively, indicating ebselen as one of the most potent low-molecular-weight inhibitors of bacterial ureases reported to date. Most of these molecules penetrated through the cell membrane of the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli (pGEM::ureOP) in vitro. Furthermore, whole-cell studies on the H. pylori J99 reference strain confirmed the high efficiency of the examined organoselenium compounds as urease inhibitors against pathogenic bacteria.

In this study, ebselen and its analogues are shown to be catalysts for the decomposition of peroxynitrite (PN). This study suggests that the PN-scavenging ability of selenenyl amides can be enhanced by a suitable substitution at the phenyl ring in ebselen
