Synthesis, structure and cytotoxicity of 3-C, N, S, Se substituted benzo[b]selenophene derivatives

Synthesis, molecular structure and cytotoxic activity of a series of 3-C, N, S, Se substituted benzo[b]selenophene derivatives on human fibrosarcoma HT-1080, mouse hepatoma MG-22A, and mouse fibroblasts 3T3 cell lines are described. The correlation between compound LD50 3T3 fibroblast cell line and HT-1080 morphology was shown.
