Erastin
0 ImagesErastin is a ferroptosis inducer. Erastin exhibits the mechanism of ferroptosis induction related to ROS and iron-dependent signaling. Erastin inhibits voltage-dependent anion channels (VDAC2/VDAC3) and accelerates oxidation, leading to the accumulation of endogenous reactive oxygen species. Erastin also disrupts mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) with anti-tumor activity. Furthermore, Erastin can block the uptake of cystine mediated by SLC7A11 and also spares UMRC6-EV and -C91A cells from disulfidptosis under glucose starvation.
