Abstract
Ebselent has been recently reported as the most efficient hinibitors of Sars-Cov-2 main protease (Mpro) thought the electrophilic covalent pro-oxidation of the reactive Cysteine 145. According to similar evidences in literature we can propose a general mechanism to explore a novel and promising application of mild organoselenium centered electrophiles in medicinal chemistry. New insights in the field of covalent and non-covalent inhibition of Mpro as well as the antiviral SARS-Cov2 activity of novel organoselenium compounds will be here discussed
