Ammonium iron(III) citrate (Ferric ammonium citrate) is a physiological form of non-ferritin-bound iron that causes intracellular iron overload leading to cellular ferroptosis and enhances protein production.

LBA-3, a selective and orally active inhibitor of the sodium-coupled citrate transporter SLC13A5, exhibits an IC50 of 67 nM. This compound effectively reduces triglyceride and total cholesterol levels in both oleic and palmitic acid (OPA)-stimulated AML12 cells and PCN-stimulated primary mouse hepatocytes, as well as in mouse models, without showing detectable toxicity. Additionally, LBA-3 is permeable to the blood-brain barrier [1].
