Oxidation Reactions Promoted or Catalyzed by Organotellurium Compounds [PDF]
Oxidation of organic substrates is a pivotal transformation, with profound chemical and biological implications. This review covers the synthetic application of organotellurium compounds as promoters or activators of oxidizing agents in such reactions. This research field has evolved from utilizing stoichiometric amounts of organotellurium as oxidizing

Antiviral Effect of 5′-Arylchalcogeno-3-aminothymidine Derivatives in SARS-CoV-2 Infection [PDF]
The understanding that zidovudine (ZDV or azidothymidine, AZT) inhibits the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of SARS-CoV-2 and that chalcogen atoms can increase the bioactivity and reduce the toxicity of AZT has directed our search for the discovery ...

Transition-Metal-Free Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Diaryl Tellurides via SH2 Reaction of Aryl Radicals on Tellurium [PDF]
Although diaryl tellurides are parent organotellurium compounds, their synthesis methods, especially for unsymmetrical ones, are limited. This may be due to the instability of diaryl tellurides and their synthesis intermediates under reaction conditions.

Cytotoxic, Genotoxic, and Mutagenic Effects of Organotellurane RF07 in Female Swiss Mice (Mus musculus). [PDF]
ABSTRACT The organotellurane RF07 (RF07) is an organic compound containing tellurium, a rare semi‐metal, and its leishmanicidal and antimalarial activity has already been reported in previous studies. This study evaluated the toxic effects of RF07 at 0.42, 21.37, and 42.75 mg/kg using comet assay, micronucleus test, and hematological/biochemical tests ...

Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Molecular Docking of Tellurium-Containing Benzothiazole Derivatives as Enzyme Inhibitors of DNA Gyrase and Dihydrofolate Reductase. [PDF]
Tellurium‐containing heterocycles represent an emerging class of organochalcogen compounds with notable redox properties and antimicrobial potential. Incorporation of tellurium into sulfur‐ and nitrogen‐containing frameworks can enhance biological activity through increased polarizability and favorable noncovalent interactions.
