ferroptosis

Sorafenib (Bay 43-9006) is a multikinase inhibitor that targets Raf-1, B-Raf, VEGFR2, VEGFR3, VEGFR4, PDGFRβ, FLT3, c-Kit, and others (IC50=6 22 90 15 20 20 57 58 nM) with oral activity. It exhibits antitumor properties and can induce autophagy, apoptosis, and agonistic iron death.

Erastin is an iron death activator that acts on the mitochondrial VDAC in a ROS- and iron-dependent manner. Erastin has anti-tumor activity and acts selectively on tumor cells with RAS-carcinogenic mutations.

(-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) is a phenolic antioxidant polyphenol flavonoid found in plants such as green and black tea, which inhibits telomerase and DNA methyltransferase, blocks the activation of EGF receptors and HER-2 receptors, inhibits cellular oxidation, and prevents free radical damage to cells.

Necrostatin-1 (Nec-1) is a specific RIP1 inhibitor and necrotic apoptosis inhibitor, which inhibits TNF-α-induced necrotic apoptosis and also inhibits IDO.

Liproxstatin-1 is a potent and selective inhibitor of ferroptosis (IC50=22 nM). Liproxstatin-1 protects cells from ferroptosis induced by ferroptosis inducers (e.g., Erastin, RSL3).

SP600125 (JNK Inhibitor II) is a JNK inhibitor that inhibits JNK1, JNK2, and JNK3 (IC50=40 40 90 nM) with oral potency, reversibility, and ATP-competitive properties. SP600125 inhibits autophagy and induces apoptosis.

Rosiglitazone (BRL49653) is a PPARγ agonist, TRPC5 activator, and TRPM3 inhibitor with oral activity. Rosiglitazone is also a hypoglycemic agent and a thiazolidinedione insulin sensitizer.

Pioglitazone (U 72107) is an insulin sensitizing agent and thiazolidinedione indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, and has been linked to rare instances of acute liver injury.

Acetylcysteine (NAC) is an N-acetyl derivative of cysteine, a ROS inhibitor and mucolytic agent. Acetylcysteine induces apoptosis, can be used to reduce mucus thickness, and has anti-influenza viral activity.

Troglitazone (Romglizone) is a PPARγ agonist with anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activity.

RSL3 (RSL3 1S) is an inhibitor of GPX4, and inhibits system xc- that blocks GSH synthesis (IC50=100 nM). RSL3 is a VDAC-independent activator of ferroptosis that is selective for tumor cells carrying oncogenic RAS.

Cisplatin (CDDP) is a DNA cross-linking agent. Cisplatin has antitumor activity and inhibits DNA synthesis by forming DNA adducts in cancer cells. Cisplatin also activates ferroptosis and induces autophagy.

Cycloheximide (Naramycin A) is a natural product that reversibly inhibits translation elongation, is an antimitotic compound, and is an inhibitor of DNA and protein synthesis.

Deferoxamine Mesylate (DFOM) is an iron chelator and ferroptosis inhibitor. Deferoxamine Mesylate binds free iron into a stable complex and reduces iron accumulation. Deferoxamine Mesylate up-regulates HIF-1α levels and induces apoptosis.

Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) is a potent and selective inhibitor of iron death. Ferrostatin-1 potently inhibits Erastin-induced iron death in HT-1080 cells with an EC50 of 60 nM. Ferrostatin-1 also exhibits antioxidant and antifungal activities.

Imidazole ketone erastin (IKE) is an ferroptosis inducer with inhibitory effects on system Xc-cystine glutamate transporter proteins. Imidazole ketone erastin has antitumor activity and induces glutathione depletion and lipid peroxidation.

L-Glutamic acid (Glutaminol) acts as an excitatory transmitter, shows a direct activating effect on the release of DA from dopaminergic terminals.

Baicalein (5,6,7-Trihydroxyflavone) is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor.

Dopamine hydrochloride (ASL279), a naturally occurring catecholamine formed by decarboxylation of dihydroxyphenylalanine and a precursor of norepinephrine and epinephrine, binds to alpha-1- and beta-1- adrenergic receptors.

L-Glutamine (L-Glutamic acid 5-amide), a non-essential amino acid, is synthesized from glutamic acid and ammonia.

Curcumin (Natural Yellow 3) is a phenolic natural product, an inhibitor of histone acetyltransferase p300 CREB (IC50=25 μM) with specificity. Curcumin has a wide range of pharmacological activities such as antitumor, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.

Lovastatin (MK-803) is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (IC50=3.4 nM). Lovastatin lowers cholesterol and is commonly used as a lipid-lowering agent in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.

Trolox is a vitamin E analogue, used in reducing oxidative stress or damage.

Rosiglitazone maleate (BRL 49653) is the maleate salt of rosiglitazone, an orally-active thiazolidinedione with antidiabetic properties and potential antineoplastic activity.
