Common NameDimethyl selenide
DescriptionDimethyl selenide, also known as selenobismethane or (CH3)2Se, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as selenoethers. These are organic compounds containing a selenoether group, with the general formula RseR' ( where R, R' are not H atoms). Dimethyl selenide is a drug. Dimethyl selenide is possibly neutral. Outside of the human body, Dimethyl selenide has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as breadnut tree seeds, almonds, globe artichokes, cashew nuts, and green vegetables. This could make dimethyl selenide a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Dimethyl selenide is found in Allium spp. and Penicillium sp.. It was first documented in 1991 (PMID: 1652783). An organoselenium compound of two methyl groups covalently bound to a selenium (PMID: 15150252) (PMID: 15233545) (PMID: 20152423) (PMID: 21069149).
