On biological activity of selenium compounds		  pdf 

ABSTRACT

The inorganic compounds (sodium selenide) and organic compounds (Ebselen) can significantly influence on the development of virus infection including COVID-19. The oxidative stress is the one of COVID-19 key damaging elements. One of the main reasons of its activity is that M-RNA COVID-19 has the gens of important seleno-containing proteins (GP, TRx, SelenP) for synthesis and expression of which use the internal resources of selenium, forming its deficit that leads to limit of selenoprotein synthesis of organism. That’s why selenium status can have the significant value for both processes of infection beginning and severity of disease carrying out and following complications connected with damage of immune response and development of oxidative stress.
