Methylselenocysteine is a part of the mammalian physiology and is a well-tolerated, versatile and economical antiangiogenic agent. This compound participated in clinical trial to determine if vitamin supplementation with this compound could restore disruption of circadian rhythm in shift workers. The preclinical efficacy of methylselenocysteine has shown the combination of methylselenocysteine with androgen deprivation therapy can be useful for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer.
