Selenium-containing chrysin and quercetin derivatives: Attractive scaffolds for cancer therapy
195,196,197 At the cellular level, this translates into a massive increase in cytoplasmic Na + concentration, membrane depolarisation and opening of voltage-gated Ca 2+ channels, which in turn promotes massive release of glutamate that results in even large depolarisation enlarging Na + and Ca 2+ influx thus completing the vicious circle of excitotoxic damage, as Ca 2+ overload triggers necrotic cell death

However, the effect appears to differ according to baseline LVEF, with worse results in patients with reduced ejection fraction
