In SKOV-33 cells, selenium (100–400 μM; 3 days) promotes inertness [1]. Cellular inertness mediated by caspase-3 is induced by 100–400 μM of selenium methyl ester for three days [1]. Examination [1]

ln Vivo |
Nude mice given FaDu and A253 head and neck xenografts tumor activity have increased CDDP and cyclophosphamide resistance when treated with selenium selenium (0.2 mg/mouse; face; once daily for 14 days)[2]. For ten months, methyltyrosine (0.75 mg/kg body weight per day) was administered intraperitoneally (IT) to mice suffering from Alzheimer's disease (AD). Reduces oxidative intermediates, neural pathways, and levels of various metal ions. It also inhibits the expression of precursor protein APP and beta-enzyme (BACE1), which lowers the production of amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ), forms fragmented tau hyperphosphorylation, and forms neurofibrillary tangles by promoting protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) activity (NFT). This protects synaptic proteins and neuronal activity, which in turn improves spatial learning and memory deficits in AD models [3].

Additional Infomation |
Se-methyl-L-selenocysteine is an L-alpha-amino acid compound having methylselanylmethyl as the side-chain. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent. It is a Se-methylselenocysteine, a non-proteinogenic L-alpha-amino acid and a L-selenocysteine derivative. It is a conjugate base of a Se-methyl-L-selenocysteinium. It is a conjugate acid of a Se-methyl-L-selenocysteinate. It is an enantiomer of a Se-methyl-D-selenocysteine. It is a tautomer of a Se-methyl-L-selenocysteine zwitterion.
Methylselenocysteine has been used in trials studying the prevention of Prostate Carcinoma and No Evidence of Disease. Se-Methylselenocysteine is a metabolite found in or produced by Escherichia coli (strain K12, MG1655). Se-methylselenocysteine has been reported in Bos taurus, Astragalus bisulcatus, and Euglena gracilis with data available. Methylselenocysteine is a naturally occurring organoselenium compound found in many plants, including garlic, onions, and broccoli, with potential antioxidant and chemopreventive activities. Se-Methyl-seleno-L-cysteine (MSC) is an amino acid analogue of cysteine in which a methylselenium moiety replaces the sulphur atom of cysteine. This agent acts as an antioxidant when incorporated into glutathione peroxidase and has been shown to exhibit potent chemopreventive activity in animal models. |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
Calculation results
Working concentration: mg/mL;
Method for preparing DMSO stock solution: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO (stock solution concentration mg/mL). Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation::Take μL DMSO stock solution, next add μL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
(1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
(2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
