Ferroptosis inducer 56 (FIN56) is a member of the class 3 ferroptosis inducers.

FIN56 is a specific inducer of ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic form of cell death characterized by iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxidation products and lethal reactive oxygen species (ROS). FIN56 has an EC₅₀ value of 240 nM, and is believed to act though two separate pathways. The first requires the enzymatic activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC),and results in degradation of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), which acts as a negative regulator of ferroptosis by reducing lipid hydroperoxides. The second pathway involves FIN56 binding to and activing squalene synthase, which leads to coenzyme Q10 depletion.
