Cover Story: We have studied the inhibiting effect of ebselen, the most famous organoselenium compound with pharmacological activity, on the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Its antiviral potential is related to its capacity to covalently bind to the main SARS-CoV-2 protease. Particularly, we provide an explanation on the details of this chemical mechanism and the relevance of the N-Se bond, as well as provide thermodynamic support to a very recent mechanistic hypothesis. We highlight how the main metabolites of ebselen are less active than the parent compound, an aspect often not captured in in vitro studies. View this paper
