Ebselen

Ebselen (CCG-39161) is a synthetic organoselenium compound that functions as a potent glutathione peroxidase mimetic, scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibiting enzymes like nitric oxide synthase and protein kinase C. Its cytoprotective and anti-inflammatory properties support its use in research models of neurodegeneration, ischemia, and inflammation, both in vitro and in vivo.
