## Abstract Resistance to tumor necrosis factor (TNFα)‐induced apoptosis in various cancer cells has been attributed to the activation of the transcription factor NF‐κB. Ebselen (2‐phenyl‐1,2‐benzisoselenazol‐3[2H]one)—a selenoorganic compound is known to prevent TNFα‐mediated NF‐κB activity. As gl
