Description

Boc-Dl-Selenomethionine CAS NO 1219410-27-1 is a protected derivative of the seleno-amino acid, selenomethionine, featuring a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group on the amine functionality. This compound is a critical building block in peptide synthesis and biochemical research, where it enables the controlled incorporation of selenium, an essential trace element, into molecular structures. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical developers, and fine chemical manufacturers engaged in the study of selenoproteins, antioxidant mechanisms, and the development of novel therapeutic agents.

Application

• Peptide Synthesis Intermediate: Serves as a key protected amino acid precursor for the solid-phase or solution-phase synthesis of selenium-containing peptides and proteins.
• Biochemical Research: Used in studies investigating the role of selenomethionine in enzyme function, antioxidant activity (e.g., glutathione peroxidase mimics), and redox biology.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Employed as a starting material or intermediate in the research and development of novel drug candidates targeting oxidative stress and related disorders.
• Isotope Labeling Studies: Acts as a scaffold for the synthesis of stable isotope-labeled (e.g., 13C, 15N, 77Se) selenomethionine derivatives for metabolic tracing and NMR/MS-based analytical applications.
• Nutritional Supplement Research: Utilized in the development and analysis of advanced selenium delivery systems and prodrugs with enhanced bioavailability.
