Chemistry and pharmacological Applications of Organoselenium Compounds

Organoselenium compounds have the seniority over the inorganic ones in the bioavailability. Its toxicity is less than toxicity of inorganic selenium compounds. Novel synthetic selenium compounds may supply a way to reduce toxicity connected with higher selenium ingestion.During the past decade, various studies has been reported about using of organoselenium as enzyme inhibitors, anti-effective agents, inducers for cytokine, immunomodulator and antioxidant.The importance of organoselenium compounds arise from the predominance of C-Se bonds in compounds with biological and pharmaceutical impact.
