Anticancer selenopeptides from food sources: synthesis strategies and multitarget mechanisms

Key Points

• The incorporation of selenopeptides shows significant anticancer properties, influencing various signaling pathways.
• Results from in vitro studies indicate that selenopeptides can suppress tumor growth by targeting multiple mechanisms.
• Analysis of selenoproteins highlights their ability to act as biomarkers in cancer therapy and prevention.
• The findings imply that dietary sources rich in selenium may provide cancer-fighting benefits, warranting further exploration.
