Despite being disparaged for their malodorous and toxic demeanour, compounds of selenium, a bio-essential element, and tellurium, offer possibilities as therapeutic agents. Herein, their potential use as drugs, for example, as anti-viral, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory agents, etc ., will be surveyed along with a summary of the established biological functions of selenium. The natural biological functions of tellurium remain to be discovered. The potential of selenium (a bio-essential element) and tellurium compounds as therapeutics ( e.g. as anti-viral and anti-inflammatory agents) are surveyed.
