Method of using synthetic L-Se-methylselenocysteine as a nutriceutical and a method of its synthesis
Publication number: 20030083383Abstract: A synthesis of and use for L-Se-methylselenocysteine as a nutriceutical is described, based upon the knowledge that L-Se-methylselenocysteine is less toxic than L-selenomethionine towards normal cells. The synthesis proceeds by mixing N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-L-serine with a dialkyl diazodicarboxylate and at least one of a trialkylphosphine, triarylphosphine, and phosphite to form a first mixture that includes N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-L-serine &bgr;-lactone. Methyl selenol or its salt is mixed with the N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-L-serine &bgr;-lactone to form a second mixture that includes N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-Se-methylselenocysteine. The tert-butoxycarbonyl group is removed from the N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-Se-methylselenocysteine to form L-Se-methylselenocysteine. This synthesis significantly improves the manufacturability, manufacturing efficiency, and utility of this naturally occurring rare form of organic-selenium.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2002Publication date: May 1, 2003Inventors: Julian E. Spallholz, Ted W. Reid, Robert D. Walkup -
Patent number: 6077714Abstract: The invention provides a method for making a selenium-carrier conjugate by covalently attaching (i) an organic selenium compound selected from the group consisting of RSeH, RSeR, RSeR', RSeSeR and RSeSeR', wherein R and R' are each an aliphatic residue containing at least one reactive group selected from the group consisting of aldehyde, amino, alcoholic, carboxylic, phosphate, sulfate, halogen or phenolic reactive groups and combinations thereof, to (ii) a carrier having a constituent capable of forming a covalent bond with said reactive groups of said selenium compound to produce a selenium-carrier conjugate which is capable of specific attachment to a target site.
