Synthesis of New Diselenide Compounds as Anti-Inflammatory Agents

  • Published : 2004.08.01

Abstract

Many diselenide compounds are used as antioxidants, enzyme inhibitors and cytokine induc-ers. Three new diselenide compounds, bis-(2-hydroxyphenyl) diselenide, bis-(3-hydroxyphe-nyl) diselenide and bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl) diselenide were designed and synthesized as anti-inflammatory agent. All of them were found to have strong in vitro activity in anti-inflammatory assays.
