A novel series of thirty-one N-substituted urea, thiourea, and selenourea derivatives containing diphenyldiselenide entities were synthesized, fully characterized by spectroscopic and analytical methods, and screened for their in vitro leishmanicidal activities. The cytotoxic activity of these derivatives was tested against Leishmania infantum axenic amastigotes, and selectivity was assessed in human THP-1 cells. Thirteen of the synthesized compounds showed a significant antileishmanial activity, with 50% effective concentration (EC50) values lower than that for the reference drug miltefosine (EC50, 2.84 M). In addition, the derivatives 9, 11, 42, and 47, with EC50 between 1.1 and 1.95 M, also displayed excellent selectivity (selectivity index ranged from 12.4 to 22.7) and were tested against infected macrophages. Compound 11, a derivative with a cyclohexyl chain, exhibited the highest activity against intracellular amastigotes, with EC50 values similar to those observed for the standard drug edelfosine. Structure-activity relationship analyses revealed that N-aliphatic substitution in urea and selenourea is recommended for the leishmanicidal activity of these analogs. Preliminary studies of the mechanism of action for the hit compounds was carried out by measuring their ability to inhibit trypanothione reductase. Even though the obtained results suggest that this enzyme is not the target for most of these derivatives, their activity comparable to that of the standards and lack of toxicity in THP-1 cells highlight the potential of these compounds to be optimized for leishmaniasis treatment.

The fusion and thermal decomposition of thirty-three diselenide compounds with a urea, thiourea or selenourea group linked with different aliphatic or aromatic substituents have been studied by thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry and mass spectrometry in order to perform comparative thermal stability studies among analogs. A relationship has been found between stability and a series of effects which occur in the compound structures. Analysis of the thermal data indicated that: (a) in general, compounds with a urea or selenourea group are more stable than those with a thiourea group; (b) no difference in stability exists when an aromatic or aliphatic group is linked to the thiourea group but when linked to the urea or selenourea groups, stability does differ; (c) selenourea compounds with aliphatic chain are the most unstable; and (d) the nature of the substituent located on the benzyl ring has no effects on thermal stability. Therefore, criteria for the selection of substituents can be established in order to improve the stability of these drugs. In addition, the mass spectral fragmentation in comparison with thermal analytical data helps in confirming the thermal behavior of the compounds.

, p. 351 - 355 (2013/07/26)
A synthesis in good to excellent yields of 23 4H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-4- ones, 18 of which are novel, from monosubstituted anthranilic acids and variously substituted phenyl isoselenocyanates without using any harsh reagents has been developed. The Se powder precipitated during the reaction could be efficiently recycled for the preparation of the aryl isoselenocyanates.

Isocyanates were efficiently selenated by the reaction with bis(dimethylaluminum) selenide to give the corresponding isoselenocyanates. One-pot synthesis of unsymmetrical selenoureas and selenocarbamates was achieved in high yields by the subsequent addit
Synthesis and pesticidal properties of thio and seleno analogs of some common urea herbicides
Zakrzewski, Jerzy,Krawczyk, Maria
experimental part, p. 1880 - 1903 (2010/02/28)
Thio and seleno analogs of fenuron, isoproturon, chlorotoluron, metoxuron, monuron, and diuron were synthesized from the corresponding aryl amines. Their reaction with thiophosgene leads to isothiocyanates. Aryl amines were also converted (via isocyanides) to isoselenocyanates. The reaction of both isothio- and isoselenocyanates with dimethylamine affords the corresponding thio and seleno analogs of the above-mentioned urea herbicides. Herbicidal activity of the synthesized compounds was slightly lower than the activity of the parent urea herbicides. The thio and seleno analogs as well as the parent ureas showed good fungicidal activity at a concentration of 200 ppm against selected fungi.
