ConditionsYield
Stage #1: Seleno-L-methionine With sodium hydrogencarbonate In 1,4-dioxane; water for 0.333333h; Cooling with ice;
Stage #2: di-tert-butyl dicarbonate In 1,4-dioxane; water at 20℃; for 13h; Cooling with ice;

Experimental Procedure
2 Example 2: Preparation of Boc-L-selenomethionine
0.4 g L-selenomethionine was dissolved in 40 ml dioxane-water (volume ratio 1:1) solution, add 0.5 g NaHCO3. The resulting solution under ice bath was stirred for 20 min. Slowly add dropwise 1.5 eq Boc anhydride in dioxane solution. After ice bath stir for 1 h, raise the temperature to room temperature and react for 12 h. After the reaction is finished, extracted with ethyl acetate twice, the retention of the aqueous phase. For 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid aqueous solution of the aqueous phase is adjusted to pH 1 the left and right, extracted with ethyl acetate twice, rollup organic phase and drying with anhydrous sodium sulfate, concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the Boc-L-selenomethionine (0.6 g, yield 98%), without further purification, can be directly used for the next step reaction.

With sodium hydroxide In 1,4-dioxane; water at 20℃; for 20h;

Experimental Procedure
To a solution of LSM in 2M NaOH was added a solution of di-t-butyl pyrocarbonate in dioxane and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for about 20 hrs. Dioxane was removed from the reaction mixture. The aqueous solution was acidified with 10% KHSO4 solution and the liberated Boc-LSM was extracted into ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate solution was washed with water, dried and concentrated. Precipitation was done using petroleum ether (60-800).

Experimental Procedure
3.3. Procedure of the Preparation of Selenomethionine-Substituted Curcuminoids and Methionine-Substituted Curcuminoids
General procedure: According to the procedure previously reported [33], selenomethionine (8) was prepared. Methionine (2) was used as the starting material in a three-pot, seven-step procedure to obtain selenomethionine in 47% yield. In a 100-mL round-bottomed flask, selenomethionine or methionine was dissolved in water and NaHCO3 (3 eq.) was added. A solution of (BOC)2O (1.5 eq.) in dioxane was added to this mixture. The reaction mixture was stirred at 25 °C overnight. The reaction mixture was washed with ethyl acetate. The resulting aqueous layer was acidified to pH 2 with concentrated hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give 9a or 9b as colorless gums.
With sodium hydrogencarbonate In 1,4-dioxane; water at 20℃; for 12h;

Experimental Procedure
3.3. General Method for Synthesizing Compounds 15-16
General procedure: The appropriate amino acid (13 or 14, 1 equiv.) and sodium bicarbonate (3 equiv.) was dissolved in a 1:1 mixture of water and 1,4-dioxane. Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (1.2 equiv.) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h. The 1,4-dioxane was removed under reduced pressure and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. Then the solution was acidified using 1 M hydrochloric acid solution and extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and the solvent was evaporated.The crude protected amino acids 15-16 were used without any further purification.

Use Pattern
Selenomethionine exhibits antioxidant properties by enhancing glutathione peroxidase activity, thereby protecting cells from oxidative damage such as DNA strand breaks and protein dysfunction. It induces dose-dependent growth inhibition and apoptosis in various human cancer cell lines at micromolar concentrations, while normal fibroblasts are only affected at much higher levels (1 mM).
