The emerging role of selenium metabolic pathways in cancer: New therapeutic targets for cancer

Kalishwaralal Kalimuthu et al.

Summary: This review critically analyzes the molecular mechanisms of selenium metabolism and its potential as a therapeutic target for cancer, highlighting SECISBP2 as a novel prognostic predictor and an alternative target for cancer. Strategies to develop a novel selenium metabolism-based approach for cancer therapy are emphasized, with expectations for extensive clinical use of SECISBP2 as a specific biomarker in cancer therapy. Scientists face additional challenges, including research on anticancer peptides targeting the intracellular protein SECISBP2.

Synthesis, experimental, and computational studies of water soluble anthranilic organoselenium compounds as safe corrosion inhibitors for J55 pipeline steel in acidic oilfield formation water

Hany M. Abd El-Lateef et al.

Summary: This study investigated the corrosion protection properties of two water-soluble organoselenium compounds based on anthranilic acid for J55 steel in simulated acidic oilfield formation water. The results showed that the diselenide-based anthranilic acid AnSe-SeAn exhibited higher protection capacity compared to the selenocyanate analog AnSe, with protection efficacy increasing in a concentration-dependent manner. Surface morphology inspections confirmed the formation of a protective film on the steel surface, shielding it from corrosion at the optimal dose. Computational studies were also conducted to identify the active sites on the molecules responsible for adsorption and protection of the steel surface.
