In Vitro | Se-Methylselenocysteine (100-400 μM; 3 days) induces apoptosis in SKOV-33 cells[1]. Se-Methylselenocysteine (100-400 μM; 3 days) induces caspase-3 mediated apoptosis[1]. Apoptosis Analysis[1] Cell Line: SKOV-3 cells Concentration: 100, 200, 400 μM Incubation Time: 3 days Result: Resulted in a markedly increased accumulation of Sub-G1 phase, which occurred in both SeMSC concentration and culture time-dependent. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: SKOV-3 cells Concentration: 100, 200, 400 μM Incubation Time: 3 days Result: Resulted in a decrease in the expression of the 32 kDa form of procaspase-3. |
In Vivo | Se-Methylselenocysteine (0.2 mg/mouse; p.o.; daily for 14 days) potentiates the antitumour activity of CDDP and Cyclophosphamide in nude mice bearing human FaDu and A253 head and neck xenografts[2]. Alzheimer's disease (AD) mice are treats with Se-Methylselenocysteine (0.75 mg/kg BW per day) in their drinking water for 10 months. Se-Methylselenocysteine reduces oxidative stress and neuro-inflammation; Se-Methylselenocysteine modulates the distribution and levels of several metal ions; Se-Methylselenocysteine decreases amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) generation by inhibiting the expression of its precursor protein APP and β-secretase (BACE1), and attenuates tau hyperphosphorylation and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) formation via promoting protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) activity, thereby preserving synaptic proteins and neuron activities and finally improving spatial learning and memory deficits in AD model mice[3]. Animal Model: Female athymic nude mice (bearing human A253 and FaDu squamous cell carcinoma xenografts)[2] Dosage: 0.2 mg/mouse Administration: p.o.; daily for 14 days (7 days before and 7 days after Cyclophosphamide or CDDP in a total of 14 days) Result: |

Risk Phrases: 23/25 33 Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic by inhalation and if swallowed. Danger of cumulative effects.The toxicological properties of this material have not been fully investigated. Potential Health Effects Eye: May cause eye irritation. Skin: May cause skin irritation. Ingestion: May cause irritation of the digestive tract. The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated. Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated. Chronic: Effects may be delayed. Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid. Skin: Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid. Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively. Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Containers may explode when heated. Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. Extinguishing Media: Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Do NOT get water inside containers. For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or water spray. For large fires, use water spray, fog or regular foam. Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8. Spills/Leaks: Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation. Section 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale. Use only in a chemical fume hood. Discard contaminated shoes. Storage: Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low. Exposure Limits CAS# 26046-90-2: Personal Protective Equipment Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166.
