Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

Ferrostatin-1 (347174-05-4) inhibits ferroptosis (EC50=60 nM), an iron-dependent form of nonapoptotic cell death.1?Potent inhibitor of ferroptosis in cancer cells and glutamate-induced cell death in organotypic rat brain slices.1?Blocks the cytotoxic effects of sorafenib in hepatocellular carcinoma cells.2?Ferrostatin-1 inhibits oxidative lipid damage and cell death in diverse disease models3 and prevents apoptosis of renal proximal tubular cells induced by reactive oxygen species4.

Uses

Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) is a potent and selective inhibitor of ferroptosis.

Definition

ChEBI: Ferrostatin-1 is an ethyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of 3-amino-4-(cyclohexylamino)benzoic acid with ethanol. It is a potent inhibitor of ferroptosis, a distinct non-apoptotic form of cell death caused by lipid peroxidation. It is also a radical-trapping antioxidant and has the ability to reduce the accumulation of lipid peroxides and chain-carrying peroxyl radicals. It has a role as a ferroptosis inhibitor, a radiation protective agent, an antioxidant, a radical scavenger, an antifungal agent and a neuroprotective agent. It is a substituted aniline, an ethyl ester and a primary arylamine.

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.

storage

Store at +4°C
