Table 4 Ebselen diselenide derivatives as SARS-CoV-2 nsp14 inhibitors. IC50 was determined in the Py-FLINT assay. Conditions: probe [S1] = 1 μM, SAM cosubstrate [S2] = 20 μM, nsp14 [E] = 40 nM. For inhibition curves see Supplementary Information Fig. S3.

From: Ebselen derivatives inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication by inhibition of its essential proteins: PLpro and Mpro proteases, and nsp14 guanine N7-methyltransferase
