Abstract: The present invention includes composition and methods for making and using a selenium-carrier conjugate for in vivo administration comprising: covalently attaching a selenium compound that reacts in vivo with naturally occurring reduced thiols and oxygen to produce superoxide, which can include a Fenton Complex that allows for a generation of hydroxyl radicals, and that wherein the selenium-carrier conjugate is stabilized against enzymatic degradation and clearance from the body and the synthetic targeting carrier binds target.
