Abstract
The seleno-organic compounds based on bis(2-aminophenyl) diselenide- 1 are potential antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal agents. 1 In this work, we reported synthesis of bis(2-aminophenyl) diselenide derivatives 2 , 3 having amino acid and dipeptide moieties. This process was realized by acylation of amine groups in 1 with N-blocked amino acids, using the active esters method (with DCC and HOBT). After removing protective groups successive N-blocked amino acids were added the same way as previously. All compounds have been tested against broad spectrum of pathogenic microorganisms (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus simulans, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger) and viruses (HSV-1, EMCV, VSV), in vitro. Most of them exhibited high activity against EMCV. Some of tested compounds were active against gram-positive bacteria species (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus simulans) and yeast Candida albicans.
