3-Methylseleno-L-alanine Hydrochloride

Description:
3-Methylseleno-L-alanine hydrochloride is an organoselenium compound characterized by the presence of a selenium atom in its structure, specifically as a methylseleno group attached to the amino acid L-alanine. This compound is notable for its potential biological activities, particularly in the context of antioxidant properties and its role in selenium metabolism. It is typically encountered as a hydrochloride salt, which enhances its solubility in water, making it suitable for various biochemical applications. The presence of the methyl group contributes to its unique chemical reactivity and stability. As a derivative of L-alanine, it retains the amino acid's basic structure, which includes an amino group, a carboxyl group, and a side chain that influences its interactions in biological systems. Research into compounds like 3-Methylseleno-L-alanine hydrochloride often focuses on their potential therapeutic effects, particularly in cancer research and nutrition, due to selenium's known role in cellular processes. Proper handling and storage conditions are essential to maintain its stability and efficacy in laboratory settings.
