Abstract excerpt
Organoselenium compounds have a potential thiol peroxidase-like activity. Diphenyl diselenide (DPDS) is an electrophilic reagent used in the synthesis of a variety of pharmacologically active organic selenium compounds. Using TRAP assay of chemiluminescense we have shown that diphenyl diselenide clearly possesses a pro-oxidant property. For an investigation on the mechanisms of this property, we used mutant...
