Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1)
Ferrostatin-1 is a selective inhibitor of ferroptosis.
Ferroptosis is a regulated, oxidative, nanapoptotic cell death, Ferrostatin-1 has been founded as a potent inhibitor of it. Fer-1 can attenuate oxidative, iron-dependent cancer cell death through blocking cystine import and glutathione production. It had been reported to prevent Huntington's disease cellular models to death by inhibiting lipid peroxidation.[1]
