Se-Methylselenocysteine

selenomethylselenocysteine, (L)-isomer, 75Se-labeled

C4H9NO2Se (182.9798)


Se-Methylselenocysteine (SeMSC) is a naturally occurring seleno-amino acid that is synthesized by plants such as garlic, astragalus, onions, and broccoli. It cannot be synthesized by higher animals. Unlike selenomethionine, which is incorporated into proteins in place of methionine, SeMSC is not incorporated into any proteins, thereby being fully available for the synthesis of selenium-containing enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase. Selenomethionine is the major seleno-compound in cereal grains (wheat grain, maize, and rice), soybeans, and enriched yeast. Seleno-compounds present in plants may have a profound effect upon the health of animals and human subjects. It is now known that the total Se content cannot be used as an indication of its efficacy, but knowledge of individual selenocompounds is necessary to fully assess the significance. Thus, speciation of the seleno-compounds has moved to the forefront. Since animals and man are dependent upon plants for their nutritional requirements, this makes the types of seleno-compounds in plants even more critical. Se enters the food chain through incorporation into plant proteins, mostly as selenocysteine and selenomethionine at normal Se levels. There are two possible pathways for the catabolism of selenomethionine: (1) a transsulfuration pathway via selenocystathionine to produce selenocysteine, which in turn is degraded to H2Se by the enzyme beta-lyase and (2) a transamination-decarboxylation pathway. It was estimated that 90\\\\% of methionine is metabolized through this pathway and thus could be also the major route for selenomethionine catabolism (PMID: 14748935 , Br J Nutr. 2004 Jan;91(1):11-28.). Selenomethionine is an amino acid containing selenium. The L-isomer of selenomethionine, known as Se-met and Sem, is a common natural food source of selenium. In vivo, selenomethionine is randomly incorporated instead of methionine and is readily oxidized. Its antioxidant activity arises from its ability to deplete reactive species. Selenium and sulfur are chalcogen elements that share many chemical properties and the substitution of methionine to selenomethionine may have no effect on protein structure and function. However, the incorporation of selenomethionine into tissue proteins and keratin in horses causes alkali disease. Alkali disease is characterized by emaciation, loss of hair, deformation and shedding of hooves, loss of vitality, and erosion of the joints of long bones. 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). 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. Se-Methylselenocysteine (SeMSC) is a naturally occurring seleno-amino acid that is synthesized by plants such as garlic, astragalus, onions and broccoli.

Selenomethionine

Selenomethionine, United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Reference Standard

C5H11NO2Se (196.9955)


L-selenomethionine is the L-enantiomer of selenomethionine. It is an enantiomer of a D-selenomethionine. It is a tautomer of a L-selenomethionine zwitterion. Selenomethionine is a naturally occuring amino acid in some plant materials such as cereal grains, soybeans and enriched yeast but it cannot be synthesized from animals or humans. It can be produced from post-structural modifications. *In vivo*, selenomethionine plays an essential role in acting as an antioxidant, where it depletes reactive oxygen species (ROS) and aids in the formation and recycling of glutathione, another important antioxidant. In comparison to selenite, which is the inorganic form of selenium, the organic form of selenomethionine is more readily absorbed in the human body. Selenomethionin is used in biochemical laboratories where its incorporation into proteins that need to be visualized enhances the performance of X-ray crystallography. L-Selenomethionine is the amino acid methionine with selenium substituting for the sulphur moiety. Methionine is an essential amino acid in humans, whereas selenium is a free-radical scavenging anti-oxidant, essential for the protection of various tissues from the damages of lipid peroxidation. As a trace mineral that is toxic in high doses, selenium is a cofactor for glutathione peroxidase, an anti-oxidant enzyme that neutralizes hydrogen peroxide. L-Selenomethionine is considered a safe, efficacious form of selenium and is readily bioavailable. Selenium may be chemoprotective for certain cancers, particularly prostate cancer. (NCI04) Diagnostic aid in pancreas function determination. Selenomethionine (CAS: 1464-42-2) is an amino acid containing selenium that cannot be synthesized by higher animals but can be obtained from plant material.

Methionine sulfoxide

α-amino-γ-(methylsulfinyl)-Butyric acid

C5H11NO3S (165.046)


Methionine sulfoxide belongs to the class of organic compounds known as l-alpha-amino acids. These are alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. Methionine sulfoxide exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, methionine sulfoxide participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, methionine sulfoxide can be biosynthesized from L-methionine through its interaction with the enzyme methionine-R-sulfoxide reductase B3. In addition, methionine sulfoxide can be biosynthesized from L-methionine through the action of the enzyme methionine-R-sulfoxide reductase b2, mitochondrial. In humans, methionine sulfoxide is involved in the metabolic disorder called hypermethioninemia. Methionine sulfoxide is an oxidation product of methionine with reactive oxygen species via 2-electron-dependent mechanism. Such oxidants can be generated from activated neutrophils; therefore, methionine sulfoxide can be regarded as a biomarker of oxidative stress in vivo. (PMID 12576054) [HMDB]. Methionine sulfoxide is found in many foods, some of which are romaine lettuce, white cabbage, dill, and yellow bell pepper. L-Methionine sulfoxide (H-Met(O)-OH), a metabolite of Methionine, induces M1/classical macrophage polarization, and modulates oxidative stress and purinergic signaling parameters[1]. Methionine sulfoxide is an oxidation product of methionine with reactive oxygen species and can be regarded as a biomarker of oxidative stress in vivo.

Selenium

Selenium ion (se2+)

Se (79.9165)


Selenium-dependent enzymes and selenoprotein P regulate immune and endothelial cell function. (PMID: 16607122). Thyroid hormone synthesis, metabolism and action require adequate availability of the essential trace elements iodine and selenium, which affect homeostasis of thyroid hormone-dependent metabolic pathways. The three selenocysteine-containing iodothyronine deiodinases constitute a novel gene family. Selenium is retained and deiodinase expression is maintained at almost normal levels in the thyroid gland, the brain and several other endocrine tissues during selenium deficiency, thus guaranteeing adequate local and systemic levels of the active thyroid hormone T(3). (PMID: 16131327). The trace element nutrient selenium (Se) discharges its well-known nutritional antioxidant activity through the Se-dependent glutathione peroxidases. It also regulates nuclear factor activities by redox mechanisms through the selenoprotein thioredoxin reductases. Converging data from epidemiological, ecological, and clinical studies have shown that Se can decrease the risk for some types of human cancers, especially those of the prostate, lung, and colon. Mechanistic studies have indicated that the methylselenol metabolite pool has many desirable attributes of chemoprevention, targeting both cancer cells and vascular endothelial cells, whereas the hydrogen selenide pool in excess of selenoprotein synthesis can lead to DNA single strand breaks, which may be mediated by some reactive oxygen species. (PMID: 16356132). SePP (selenoprotein P) is the major transporter of Se in the serum. Moreover, in the sanctuary area of the brain, SePP was shown to play a hitherto unexpected role as a local Se storage and recycling protein that directly maintains brain Se levels. Physiologically, it exists as an ion in the body. The function of Se is important in normal brain metabolism, redox regulation, antioxidant defenses, thyroid hormone metabolism and the development of neurodegenerative conditions. (PMID: 15720294). In areas where soils are low in bioavailable selenium (Se), potential Se deficiencies cause health risks for humans. (PMID: 16028492) Dietary selenium comes from cereals, meat, fish, and eggs. The recommended dietary allowance for adults is 55 micrograms per day.

Selenocystine

2-amino-3-[(2-amino-2-carboxyethyl)diselanyl]propanoic acid

C6H12N2O4Se2 (335.9127)


Selenocystine, also known as 3,3-diselenodialanine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha-amino acids. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxyl group (alpha carbon). More specifically, selenocystine is a diselenide consisting of two selenoamino acids that are attached together at their selenium atoms. This particular selenoamino acid is selenocysteine, the selenium analogue to cysteine (selenium being the element directly beneath sulphur in the periodic table); likewise, selenocystine is the selenium analogue to cystine. Since each constituent amino acid has a stereocentre, there are three different stereoisomers of selenocystine: D-selenocystine, L-selenocystine, and meso-selenocystine, the first two of which are optically active. Like other amino acids, L-selenocystine is the most common form within organisms; however, the D- and meso- forms have also been found (PMID: 30920149). Selenocystine is a solid that is moderately soluble in water. Due to the reactivity of selenocysteine, it is rarely encountered; rather, cells store selenium in the less reactive oxidized form of selenocystine or in a methylated form, such as selenomethionine (DOI: 10.1007/978-3-319-92405-2_3). When cells are grown in the absence of selenium, translation of selenoproteins terminates at the UGA codon, resulting in a truncated, non-functional enzyme. Unlike other amino acids present in biological proteins, selenocysteine is not coded for directly in the genetic code. Rather, the tRNA-bound seryl residue is converted to a selenocysteine residue by the pyridoxal phosphate-containing enzyme selenocysteine synthase (PMID: 17194211). Kurt Franke et al. indicated that there was evidence that selenium was in a form similar to that of cysteine, predating Thressa Stadtman’s discovery of the 21st amino acid by four decades (PMID: 26949981; J. Biol. Chem. 111:643). Selenocysteine may be denoted by the short forms Sec, U, or SeCys (Cys is used for cysteine), whereas selenocystine may be denoted by SeCys2. However, the literature sometimes uses SeCys for selenocystine and may cause confusion. Selenocystine has been found in animals, plants, and bacteria. It is being researched as treatment for cancer and for its antioxidant properties (PMID: 24763048, 24030774). Selenium, in its various forms such as selenocystine, is essential for many species, including humans, yet it is also toxic to all organisms; hence, it has come to be referred to as the “essential poison” (PMID: 26949981; 6679541). Selenocystine is a substrate for glutathione peroxidase 1. [HMDB] D000890 - Anti-Infective Agents > D000998 - Antiviral Agents L-Selenocystine is a diselenide-bridged amino acid. L-Selenocystine is a redox-active selenium compound that has both anti- and pro-oxidant actions. L-Selenocystine induces an unfolded protein response, ER stress, and large cytoplasmic vacuolization in HeLa cells and has cytostatic effects in a range of cancer cell types[1].

Selenomethionine

L-SelenoMethionine

C5H11NO2Se (196.9955)


A selenoamino acid that is the selenium analogue of methionine. C26170 - Protective Agent > C275 - Antioxidant Selenomethionine, also known as (2s)-2-amino-4-(methylseleno)butanoate or 2-amino-4-(methylselenyl)butyric acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as alpha amino acids. Alpha amino acids are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon). Selenomethionine is soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Selenomethionine can be found in a number of food items such as shiitake, canada blueberry, sesbania flower, and spearmint, which makes selenomethionine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Selenomethionine can be found primarily in blood and urine, as well as throughout most human tissues. Selenomethionine exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. In humans, selenomethionine is involved in the selenoamino acid metabolism. Moreover, selenomethionine is found to be associated with prostate cancer. Selenomethionine is a naturally occurring amino acid. The L-selenomethionine enantiomer is the main form of selenium found in Brazil nuts, cereal grains, soybeans, and grassland legumes, while Se-methylselenocysteine, or its γ-glutamyl derivative, is the major form of selenium found in Astragalus, Allium, and Brassica species. In vivo, selenomethionine is randomly incorporated instead of methionine. Selenomethionine is readily oxidized . L-SelenoMethionine, an L-isomer of Selenomethionine, is a major natural food-form of selenium. L-SelenoMethionin is a cancer chemopreventive agent that can reduce cancer incidence by dietary supplementation and induce apoptosis of cancer cells. L-SelenoMethionine also can increase expression of glutathione peroxidase[1][2][3]. Selenomethionine is a naturally occurring amino acid containing selenium and is a common natural food source.
