In the search for an alternative strategy to the radioactivity measurement conventionally performed to probe receptor-ligand interactions in pharmacological assays, we demonstrated that selenium labeling of the studied ligand combined with elemental mass spectrometry was as efficient and robust as the reference method but devoid of its environmental and health hazards. The proof-of-concept was illustrated on two GPCR receptors, vasopressin (V1A) and cholecystokinin B (CCK-B), involving peptides as endogenous ligands. We proposed several methodologies to produce selenium-labeled ligands according to peptide sequences along with binding affinity constraints. A selection of selenopeptides that kept high affinities toward the targeted receptor were engaged in saturation and competitive binding experiments with subsequent sensitive RP-LC-ICP-MS measurements. Experimental values of affinity constant (Ki) were perfectly correlated to literature data, illustrating the general great potency of replacing radioactive iodine by selenium for ligand labeling to further undergo unaffected pharmacology experiments efficiently monitored by elemental mass spectrometry.

The synthesis of molecules bearing (trifluoromethylselenyl)methylchalcogenyl groups is described via an efficient two-step strategy based on a metal-free photoredox catalyzed decarboxylative trifluoromethylselenolation with good yields up to 88 %, which raised to 98 % in flow chemistry conditions. The flow methods allowed also to scale up the reaction. The mechanism of this key reaction was studied. The physicochemical characterization of these emerging groups was performed by determining their Hansch–Leo lipophilicity parameters with high values up to 2.24. This reaction was also extended to perfluoroalkylselenolation with yields up to 95 %. Finally, this method was successfully applied to the functionalization of relevant bioactive molecules such as tocopherol or estrone derivatives.

Abstract A simple and efficient procedure for the synthesis of three new series of chalcogen liquid crystals, based on selenides and diselenides, containing cholesterol in their structure, is described. Thermal and liquid crystalline properties were investigated by POM, DSC, TGA and XRD scattering. Six of the nine molecules synthesized showed liquid crystal properties, with smectic mesomorphism. All the compounds presented good thermal stability. The smectic mesomorphism was confirmed through XRD analysis. The morphology of the surface of the films was investigated by using atomic force microscopy (AFM). All prepared diselenides showed good glutathione peroxidase like activity and one of the diselenides was 3.3 times more active than the standard Ebselen.
