The selenylation modification of Schisandra chinensis polysaccharide (SCP) was conducted by the HNO3-Na2SeO3 method respectively under nine conditions according to L9(34) orthogonal design. Nine selenizing SCPs, sSCP1-sSCP9, were obtained, and their antioxidant activities were compared. In vitro test, the free radical-scavenging rates of nine sSCPs were determined for DPPH., .OH and ABTS+. sSCP1 presented the most significant effect, and could inhibit the nonenzymatic protein glycation. In vivo test, 14-day-old chickens were injected respectively with sSCP1 and SCP, the serum contents of CAT, SOD and MDA were determined. The result showed that as compared with the SCP group, the SOD and CAT activities were significantly or numerically raised and MDA content was significantly or numerically lowered in the sSCP1 group. These results indicate that selenylation modification can significantly enhance the antioxidant and antiglycative activity of SCP in vitro or in vivo. sSCP1 possesses the best efficacy and its modification conditions can be as optimal modification conditions that were 200 mg of Na2SeO3 for 500 mg of SCP, reaction temperature of 50°C and reaction time of 6 h.

Electronic address:

A novel selenylated low molecular weight apple pectin (Se-LMWAP) was prepared through enzymatic modification combined with selenylation. The physicochemical properties, the structural characterization of Se-LMWAP were evaluated by FT-IR, NMR and SEM. Moreover, the antidiabetic activity and potential mechanism of Se-LMWAP were investigated using high-fat diet (HFD)/streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 2 diabetic mice.

CuI-Catalyzed Selenylation of Pyrrolo[2,1-]isoquinolines and Other Electron-Rich Heteroarenes.

J Org Chem

October 2024

Laboratory of Asymmetric Synthesis, College of Chemistry and Environmental Engineering, Chongqing University of Arts and Sciences, 319 Honghe Ave., Yongchuan, Chongqing 402160, P.R. China.

We have established a mild CuI-catalyzed selenylation of pyrrolo[2,1-]isoquinoline derivatives in the presence of CPBA (-chloroperoxybenzoic acid) at ambient temperature. Corresponding organoselenides have been prepared readily in 53-92% yields. This process can also be expanded to the modification of pyrroles, azaindole, and indoles, delivering the desired heterocyclic selenides in moderate to good yields.

Article Synopsis
  • Regioselective C-H functionalization of pyridines is difficult due to their electronic properties, but this study presents a strategy for selective modifications at the C3 position using N-2,4-dinitrophenyl Zincke imine intermediates under mild conditions.
  • The research involves radical inhibition and DFT calculations, showing thiolation and selenylation occur through a radical pathway, while fluorination follows a two-electron substitution mechanism.
  • The study highlights the importance of the electron-deficient N-DNP group for enhancing the reaction's efficiency and also demonstrates the method's effectiveness in large-scale synthesis and modifying pharmaceutical compounds.
