Seleno compounds such as selenocystamine and seleno-D, L-cystine were found to catalyze the decomposition of S-nitrosothiols (e.g. S-nitroso-glutathione and S-nitroso-N-acetyl-D, L-penicillamine) in the presence of different thiols (e.g. glutathione, N-acetyl-D-penicillamine and 2-mercaptoethanol), and liberate nitric oxide.

The cancer chemopreventive effect of selenium cannot be fully accounted for by the role of selenium as a component of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which suggests that chemoprevention occurs by another mechanism. Several studies have shown that thiol oxidation
