Application

Ferrostatin-1 has been used to determine its inhibitory effect on the cell death profiles.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ferrostatin-1 is an active radical-trapping antioxidant that traps peroxyl radicals, and thus serves as a potential inhibitor of ferroptosis. Ferroptosis is considered as regulated necrosis, which differs from apoptosis and autophagy. Ferrostatin-1 is known to show protective effects against Huntington’;s disease and also prevents neurotoxicity induced by glutamate in cellular models.

Ferrostatin-1 is a potent inhibitor of non-apoptotic cell death induced by erastin call ferroptosis. Ferrostatin-1 prevents ferroptopic cell death in cancer cells and glutamate-induced toxicity in organotypic rat brain slices. It appears that Ferrostatin-1 controls lipid soluble ROS.
