Methaneseleninic acid (methylseleninic acid or MSA) is an organoselenium compound, a seleninic acid with the chemical formula CH3SeO2H. Its structure is CH3−Se(=O)−OH.

Preparation

[edit]

Methaneseleninic acid is conveniently synthesized through oxidation of commercially available dimethyl diselenide by 3% hydrogen peroxide.[2]

CH3−Se−Se−CH3 + H2O2 → 2 CH3−Se(=O)−OH

Seleninic acids can be prepared by oxidation of selenoesters with one equivalent of dimethyldioxirane (DMDO). Use of excess DMDO affords little studied selenonic acids (R−Se(=O)2−OH).[3]

R−Se−C(=O)−R' + DMDO → R−Se(=O)−OH
R−Se−C(=O)−R' + excess DMDO → R−Se(=O)2−OH

Selenenic acids, formed during the syn-elimination of selenoxides, undergo spontaneous disproportionation into the corresponding seleninic acids and diselenides:

4 R−Se−OH → 2 R−Se(=O)−OH + R−Se−Se−R

Structure, bonding, properties

[edit]

Methaneseleninic acid, from decomposition of Se-methylselenocysteine Se-oxide but also available commercially, has been characterized by X-ray crystallography.[4] The configuration about the selenium atom is pyramidal, with Se-C = 1.925(8) Å, Se-O = 1.672(7) Å, Se-OH = 1.756(7) Å, the angle OSeO = 103.0(3)°, the angle HO-Se-C = 93.5(3)°, and the angle OSeC = 101.4(3)°. The structure is isomorphous to that of methanesulfinic acid [5] Optical isomers of methaneseleninic acid can be isolated as chiral crystals by recrystallization from a mixture of methanol and toluene. The absolute configuration of one of the enantiomers was determined by X-ray crystallography. Optically active methaneseleninic acid was stable toward racemization in the solid state, although it racemized very rapidly in solution.[6]

Anticancer activity

[edit]

Methaneseleninic acid shows potential anticancer activity and is a model for studying the anticancer effects of selenium in vitro.[7] Methaneseleninic acid shows superior in vivo inhibitory efficacy toward human prostate cancer compared to selenomethionine or selenite (ion).[8] It has recently been reported that methaneseleninic acid enhances the efficacy of paclitaxel for treatment of triple-negative breast cancer,[9] that methaneseleninic acid functions as an aromatase inhibitor, of possible use in therapy for estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women,[10] that methaneseleninic acid shows promise as a sensitizing agent for apoptosis induced by the Bcl-2-family inhibitor ABT-737 in several cancer lines,[11] and that methaneseleninic acid restricts tumor growth in the nude mouse model of metastatic breast cancer[12] and Lewis lung carcinoma in mice.[13]

Methaneselenol (CH3SeH) can be produced in vivo by reduction of methaneseleninic acid and may in fact be the key metabolite responsible for selenium’s anticancer activity[2][14] through generation of superoxide.[15] The reduction of methaneseleninic acid by mammalian thioredoxin reductase has been studied.[16]
