In this work, an innovative series of methylselenoesters as methylselenol precursors has been designed, synthesized and evaluated. The chemical characteristics of the carbonyl-selenium bond allow a nucleophilic attack that can render methylselenol, a key molecule in selenium biological activity. The scaffolds were chosen among carboaromatic and heteroaromatic rings with reported antitumoral activity to improve the action of methylselenol and to provide enough chemical variety to modulate the strength of the carbonyl-selenium bond, therefore hindering or facilitating a nucleophilic attack, i.e., by water. The release rate of methylselenol was determined, as well as the cytotoxic activity of the compounds against a panel of cancer cell lines....
