Synthesis and Anticancer Activity of Certain Selenophene Derivatives

Selenopheno[2,3-d]pyrimidine- and selenopheno[2,3-d][1,2,3]triazine-containing compounds were synthesized starting from 2-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-cyclohepta[b]selenophene-3-carbonitrile. In vitro anticancer activity of the newly synthesized compounds was tested using 60 different human cancer cell lines.
