L-Selenomethionine Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

Solid

Uses

A compound shown to increase expression of glutathione peroxidase

Uses

L-Selenomethionine has been used:

  • in toxicity studies in Japanese Medaka embryos
  • to study its effects on selenium status indicators in pregnant long-tailed macaques (Macaca Fascicularis)
  • to label proteins for single wavelength anomalous dispersion (SAD) phasing

Definition

ChEBI: The L-enantiomer of selenomethionine.

General Description

Seleno-L-Methionine (SeMet), an organic form of selenium is found in Cupriavidus metallidurans.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Seleno-L-Methionine (SeMet) is capable of repressing atopic dermatitis (AD)-like skin lesions. It can also prevent the expression of total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and interleukin 4 (IL-4). It can cause ecotoxicity as it is absorbed by fish through diet.

Synthesis

2185-03-7

37773-10-7

3211-76-5

Under nitrogen protection, 13.75 g of L-homoserine lactone hydrochloride was mixed with 40 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and stirred until completely dissolved. Subsequently, 15.2 g of methyl selenate (CAS:37773-10-7) was dissolved in 20 mL of DMF and slowly added to the above reaction system. The reaction was heated and refluxed for 2 hours. Upon completion of the reaction, the pH of the reaction system was adjusted to 6.0 with aqueous acetic acid and a white solid was precipitated. The resulting solid was dissolved in a mixed solvent of water and ethanol for recrystallization to obtain L-selenomethionine. The total yield of this synthetic route was 72.11%, the chemical purity of the product was greater than 99% and the enantiomeric excess value (ee) was greater than 99%.
