It has been shown to inhibit the activity of certain enzymes, including thrombin, which may lead to the prevention of blood clotting and reduce inflammation. In addition, sodium selenate has been shown to inhibit cell factor-dependent proliferation in vitro and promote tumor regression in vivo. This drug has also been shown to be effective against wild-type strains of bacteria such as Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
