L-Selenomethylselenocysteine, 26046-90-2, Structural Formula [Cas No] 26046-90-2 [Chinese Alias] Methylselenocysteine; Methylseleno-L-cysteine; [Molecular Formula] C4H9NO2Se [Molecular Weight] 182.08 [Appearance] White powder or granules [Storage] Store in a light-proof, sealed, and room-temperature environment. Tumor inhibition and anticancer studies have shown that the antitumor activity of Se is due to the generation of methylseleno, which is produced by MSCs through β-lyase [1]. Therefore, as one of the compounds with better chemical activity among selenium-containing compounds, MSCs have good anticancer effects. Antioxidant and anti-aging MSCs are free radical scavengers and directly exert antioxidant functions. They can prevent lipid peroxides from combining with free carboxyl groups, prevent free radicals from damaging related macromolecules on the cell membrane, thereby reducing the damage of free radicals and lipid peroxides to the body and playing a role in delaying aging. MSCs can also indirectly participate in the antioxidant process by participating in the synthesis of peroxidase. It can be inserted into various selenium-containing proteins in the form of selenocysteine after entering the body, becoming the active center of antioxidant enzymes [2]. Selenium has strong antioxidant activity, which can protect the integrity of cell membranes and enable cardiovascular cells to function normally. In cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, and hypertension, free radicals, lipid peroxidation, and LDL oxidation play an important role. MSCs have the function of detoxifying heavy metals because selenium has a strong affinity for metals and is a natural anti-heavy metal detoxifier. It combines with heavy metals in the body to form metal-selenium-protein complexes (complexes), thereby causing the metals to be excreted and detoxified.
