In the domain of brain malignancies, glioma, in particular the World Health Organization (WHO) Grade IV Glioblastoma, persists as having one of the worst prognoses in modern medicine. Despite the protocol leading to the convention of surgery with chemo-radiotherapy as the mainstay of treatment, mean survival rarely exceeds 18 months. In this work, we tested the antiglioma potential of three organochalcogenyl-benzoates containing an organoselenium group in their structure, obtained by chemical synthesis: 3-(phenylselanyl)prop-2-yn-1-yl nicotinate, 3-(phenylselanyl)benzoate)prop-2-yn-1-yl, and 3-((4-fluorophenyl)selanyl)prop-2-yn-1-yl benzoate. The tests were performed on a C6 rat glioblastoma cell line, which was treated with the compounds for different times (24, 48, and 72 hours) and concentrations (10-100 µM). After the treatments, MTT assays and cell counts were performed. All compounds showed cytotoxic effects, decreasing cell viability and the number of cells. For compound 3-((4-fluorophenyl)selanyl)prop-2-in-1-yl benzoate—which showed the most pronounced cytotoxic effects— analyses of cumulative population doubling, clonogenic ability, induction potential of senescence, and lipid peroxidation were performed. The compound was only able to induce a significant increase in lipid peroxidation, with no effect over the other parameters studied. The results presented here are unprecedented and promising, introducing new compounds with antitumor potential for glioma therapy.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
