Vitamin E succinate selenium-conjugated molecules were synthesized and their apoptogenic properties were evaluated. 4-Methyl-2-phenylselenyl succinate (4) was prepared by the reaction of sodium benzeneselenolate with 2-bromosuccinic anhydrite in methanol solution. The methyl ester was converted to the acid (5) by hydrolysis with aqueous hydrochloric acid. Reaction of the 2-phenylselenyl succinic anhydrite (6) with alpha-tocopherol (1a), gamma-tocopherol (le), and gamma-tocotrienol (2c) in acidic conditions gave the respective esters. The free radical scavenging properties of alpha-tocopheryl-2-phenylselenyl succinate (7), gamma-tocopheryl-2-phenylselenyl succinate (8), and gamma-tocotrienyl-2-phenylselenyl succinate (9) were evaluated in comparison with those of alpha-tocopheryl succinate (10). gamma-tocopheryl succinate (11), and gamma-tocotrienyl succinate (12), respectively, and the free tocopherols and gamma-tocotrienol. Compounds 7-9 induced a statistically significant decrease in prostate cancer cell viability compared to 10-12, respectively, or 5, exhibiting features of apoptotic cell death and associated with caspase-3 activation. These data show that structural modifications of vitamin E components by 5 enhance their apoptogenic properties in cancer cells. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
