Benzyl selenocyanate is a chemopreventive agent for various chemically induced tumors in animal models at both the initiation and postinitiation stages. Benzyl selenocyanate is an inhibitor of DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase (Mtase), with an with an IC₅₀ of 8.4 μM^[1] .

Mtase^[1]

Benzyl selenocyanate inhibits the activity of DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase (Mtase) in a concentration-dependent manner^[1] .
