Bioactivity | 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]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | L-SelenoMethionine (1-500 μM; 24-72 h) is selectively inhibits the growth of prostate cancer cells, compared with normal cells[2].L-SelenoMethionine (500 μM; 48 h) induce apoptosis in prostate cancer cells[2].L-SelenoMethionine (500 μM; 48 h) causes an increase in arrest in the G2-M phase of the cell cycle selectively in prostate cancer cells[2].L-SelenoMethionine (5 μM; 24 h) mitigates gene expression associated with the cellular stress response from 10 cGy irradiation[4].
