Background
Ferrostatin-1 is an antioxidant that is a potent, selective inhibitor of erastin-induced ferroptosis with an EC value of 60 nM (1,2). It effectively inhibits ferroptosis in cancer cells and prevents glutamate-induced cell death in rat hippocampal brain slices. In disease models, it has been shown to inhibit production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and depletion of membrane lipids (1). Ferrostatin-1 has been shown to inhibit cell death in cell models of Huntington's disease, periventricular leukomalacia, and kidney dysfunction (1,2).
Alternate Names
