Resumo: Tellurium is a rare element which has been regarded as a toxic, non-essential trace element and its biological role is not clearly established to date. Besides of that, the biological effects of elemental tellurium and some of its inorganic and organic derivatives have been studied, leading to a set of interesting and promising applications. As an example, it can be highlighted the uses of alkali-metal tellurites and tellurates in microbiology, the antioxidant effects of organotellurides and diorganoditellurides and the immunomodulatory effects of the non-toxic inorganic tellurane, named AS-101, and the plethora of its uses. Inasmuch, the nascent applications of organic telluranes (organotelluranes) as protease inhibitors and its applications in disease models are the most recent contribution to the scenario of the biological effects and applications of tellurium and its compounds discussed in this manuscript.

Apesar disso, os efeitos biológicos do telúrio elementar e de alguns derivados inorgânicos e orgânicos que têm sido estudados revelam um conjunto de aplicações diversificadas interessantes e promissoras. Como exemplo, pode-se destacar os usos de teluritos e teluratos de metais alcalinos em microbiologia, o efeito antioxidante de teluretos e diteluretos orgânicos, os efeitos imunomodulatórios e a diversidade de usos correlacionados a este efeito de uma telurana inorgânica denominada AS-101. Ademais, as aplicações de teluranas orgânicas (organoteluranas) como inibidoras de proteases e as aplicações em modelos de doenças compõem a mais recente contribuição ao cenário dos efeitos e aplicações biológicas do telúrio e seus compostos discutidas neste manuscrito.UNIFESP Departamento de Ciências Exatas e da TerraUNIFESP Departamento de BiofísicaUNIFESP, Depto. de Ciências Exatas e da TerraUNIFESP, Depto. de BiofísicaSciELOFundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)Academia Brasileira de CiênciasUniversidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Cunha, Rodrigo Luiz Oliveira Rodrigues [UNIFESP]Gouvea, Iuri Estrada [UNIFESP]Juliano, Luiz [UNIFESP]2015-06-14T13:41:07Z2015-06-14T13:41:07Z2009-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion393-407application/pdfhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0001-37652009000300006Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências.
