Abstract Purpose Selenium (Se) compounds are well known to inhibit cell proliferation and
induce cell death in human cancer cells. Respective chemical forms of Se are intracellularly …

Selenium compounds inhibit neoplastic growth. Redox active selenium compounds are
evolving as promising chemotherapeutic agents through tumour selectivity and multi‐target …

Apoptosis induction may be a mechanism mediating the anticancer activity of selenium. Our
earlier work indicated that distinct cell death pathways are likely involved in apoptosis …

Prospective studies and recent intervention trials suggest that the risk of some cancers,
including respiratory tract cancers, may be inversely related to selenium (SE) intake, and this …

The role of selenium as potential cancer chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic agents
has been supported by epidemiological, preclinical and clinical studies. Although cell …

The purpose of this study was to identify conditions that will increase the sensitivity of drug-
resistant cancer cells. Selenium derivatives have been shown to present anti-cancer …

The aim of this work was to compare different selenium species for their ability to induce cell
death in different cancer cell lines, while investigating the underlying chemistry by speciation …

Selenium is an important trace element with anti-cancer properties. In the present study, the
apoptosis-inducing effects of organic selenium derivatives, namely methyl-l-selenocysteine …

Recent epidemiological studies have demonstrated that selenium may be an effective
chemopreventive and anticancer agent with a broad spectrum against several human …

Purpose Although selenium compounds possess chemotherapeutic features by inducing
apoptosis in cancer cells with trivial side effects on normal cells, the mechanisms underlying …
