Ebselen also demonstrates antimicrobial activity. A bioRxiv preprint suggests that ebselen is a low micromolar, covalent, fast-binding inhibitor of papain-like protease (PL-pro) from SARS-CoV-2 [2]. This study also reports that ebselen is less active against SARS-CoV, and binds more slowly to this enzyme homologue.
