Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of treating includes contacting cancer cells with a bis-(organoselanyl urea)aryl agent of Formula (I). The method includes effective inhibition of growth of cancer cells using the bis-(organoselanyl urea)aryl agent of Formula (I) as compared to doxorubicin

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A method of in vitro inhibition of a cancer cell line, the method comprising: contacting cells of the cancer cell line with 1-(4-(methylselanyl)phenyl)-3-((1,3,3-trimethyl-5-(3-(4-(methylselanyl)phenyl) ureido)cyclohexyl)methyl)urea wherein the cancer is a cancer cell line is selected from the group consisting of HN9, HuH7, FaDu, MCF7, HEPG2, A549, HCT116, and A375. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the 1-(4-(methylselanyl)phenyl)-3-((1,3,3-trimethyl-5-(3-(4-(methylselanyl)phenyl) ureido)cyclohexyl)methyl)urea has a cancer cell growth inhibition percentage of at least 65%. 3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the 1-(4-(methylselanyl)phenyl)-3-((1,3,3-trimethyl-5-(3-(4-(methylselanyl)phenyl) ureido)cyclohexyl)methyl)urea has a non-cancer cell growth inhibition percentage of 55% or less against a non-cancer cell line. 4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the non-cancer cell line is a normal oral epithelial cell line or a human skin fibroblast normal cell line. 5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the 1-(4-(methylselanyl)phenyl)-3-((1,3,3-trimethyl-5-(3-(4-(methylselanyl)phenyl) ureido)cyclohexyl)methyl)urea has a cancer cell growth inhibition percentage of at least 74%. 6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the 1-(4-(methylselanyl)phenyl)-3-((1,3,3-trimethyl-5-(3-(4-(methylselanyl)phenyl) ureido)cyclohexyl)methyl)urea has a non-cancer cell growth inhibition percentage of 35% or less against a non-cancer cell line. 7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the non-cancer cell line is a normal oral epithelial cell line or a human skin fibroblast normal cell line. 8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the 1-(4-(methylselanyl)phenyl)-3-((1,3,3-trimethyl-5-(3-(4-(methylselanyl)phenyl) ureido)cyclohexyl)methyl)urea has a cancer cell growth inhibition percentage at least 10% greater than a cancer cell growth inhibition percentage of doxorubicin. 9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the 1-(4-(methylselanyl)phenyl)-3-((1,3,3-trimethyl-5-(3-(4-(methylselanyl)phenyl) ureido)cyclohexyl)methyl)urea has a cancer cell growth inhibition percentage at least 15% greater than a cancer cell growth inhibition percentage of doxorubicin. 10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the 1-(4-(methylselanyl)phenyl)-3-((1,3,3-trimethyl-5-(3-(4-(methylselanyl)phenyl) ureido)cyclohexyl)methyl)urea has having a cancer cell growth inhibition percentage at least 30% greater than a cancer cell growth inhibition percentage of doxorubicin.
