Eighteen Se-substituted selenocysteine derivatives were synthesized as potential kidney selective prodrugs which can be activated by renal cysteine conjugate β-lyase to selenium- containing chemoprotectants or antitumor agents. Selenocysteine derivatives with aliphatic and benzylic Se-substituents were synthesized by reducing selenocystine to selenocysteine followed by a reaction with the corresponding alkyl and benzyl halogenides. ...
