Ephedrine-based diselenide: a promiscuous catalyst suitable to mimic the enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and to promote enantioselective C-C coupling reactions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ephedrine-based diselenide appears as a new promiscuous catalyst, able to generate optically active alcohols by addition of organozinc to aldehydes (up to 97% ee), and shows powerful GPx like activity, reducing H(2)O(2) to water in only 16.33 min (eleven times faster than PhSeSePh).

Construction of a smart temperature-responsive GPx mimic based on the self-assembly of supra-amphiphiles.
Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) is a major defense against hydroperoxides as a kind of seleno-enzyme that protects cells from oxidative damage. A supramolecular vesicle with controllable GPx activity and morphology has been successfully constructed by the self-assembly of supra-amphiphiles formed by host-guest recognition between cyclodextrin and adamantane derivatives. By introducing thermosensit...
متن کاملA novel dicyclodextrinyl diselenide compound with glutathione peroxidase activity.
A 6A,6A'-dicyclohexylamine-6B,6B'-diselenide-bis-beta-cyclodextrin (6-CySeCD) was designed and synthesized to imitate the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPX). In this novel GPX model, beta-cyclodextrin provided a hydrophobic environment for substrate binding within its cavity, and a cyclohexylamine group was incorporated into cyclodextrin in proximity to the catalytic selenium in or...
متن کاملReduction of diphenyl diselenide and analogs by mammalian thioredoxin reductase is independent of their gluthathione peroxidase-like activity: a possible novel pathway for their antioxidant activity.
Since the successful use of the organoselenium drug ebselen in clinical trials for the treatment of neuropathological conditions associated with oxidative stress, there have been concerted efforts geared towards understanding the precise mechanism of action of ebselen and other organoselenium compounds, especially the diorganyl diselenides such as diphenyl diselenide, and its analogs. Although ...
متن کاملA Non Glutathione Dependent Mechanism for Diphenyl Diselenide in Its Protection against Oxidative Assaults on Cerebral Lipids
Literatures have reported that the pharmacological mechanism of diphenyl diselenide (DPDS) is strictly dependent on its ability to mimic the endogenous antioxidant enzyme, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), utilizing reduced glutathione (GSH) to deactivate hydroperoxides. However, in the present study, we investigated the strict dependence of DPDS on GSH utilization via its GPx mimetic ability by mo...

We have demonstrated a simple and efficient route for the synthesis of a novel imine based tridentate ligand and its Pd-complex to investigate the C-C cross-coupling reactions, that involve column chromatography purification in only one step. The catalytic activity of the newly synthesized catalyst was studied for the Suzuki, Sonogashira and, Heck cross-coupling reactions under mild conditions....
