Ferroptosis inducer-16
Ferroptosis inducer-16 (anti-NSCLC agent-2) is a nitric oxide (NO) donor and a ferroptosis inducer. Ferroptosis inducer-16 inhibits DNA synthesis and colony formation. Ferroptosis inducer-16 disrupts lysosomal integrity by releasing NO, triggers iron overload and oxidative stress, downregulates the SLC7A11-GPX4 axis, depletes GSH, and accumulates lipid peroxides. Ferroptosis inducer-16 inhibits tumor growth in an OVCAR8/ADR xenograft mouse model without obvious toxicity, and can be used in the study of non-small cell lung cancer and drug-resistant ovarian cancer[1,2].

Ferroptosis inducer-16 (compound 6o) (10-160 nM; 48 h) effectively inhibits the proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines A549, H1299, H2030, H1975, A549/T, and A549/CDDP, with IC50 values ranging from 1.54 nM to 11.72 nM, and exhibits no obvious toxicity against normal human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) at effective inhibitory concentrations[1].
Ferroptosis inducer-16 (3A72) (24 h) exerts dose-dependent cytotoxic effects against OVCAR8/ADR cells, with an IC50 of 4.32 nM, which is significantly lower than that of the parental OVCAR8 cells (IC50 = 910.10 nM)[2].
Ferroptosis inducer-16 (5-20 nM; 24 h) inhibits colony formation and DNA synthesis (EdU assay) in OVCAR8/ADR cells[2].
Ferroptosis inducer-16 (100 μM; 2.5 h) releases 10.02 μM of nitric oxide (NO) in A549 cells[1].
The anti-proliferative activity of Ferroptosis inducer-16 (10-50 nM; 4-48 h) against A549, A549/CDDP, and OVCAR8/ADR cells is dependent on NO, as hemoglobin reverses this effect in a concentration-dependent manner; meanwhile, it increases total NO and lysosome-specific NO levels in OVCAR8/ADR cells in a dose-dependent manner, but exerts no significant effect on mitochondrial NO levels. The NO scavenger Carboxy-PTIO (HY-18734) (100 μM) and the P-gp inhibitor Tariquidar (HY-10550) partially reverse its cytotoxicity[1][2].
Ferroptosis inducer-16 (20-100 nM; 24-48 h) exerts anti-proliferative activity against A549, A549/CDDP, and OVCAR8/ADR cells in a ferroptosis-dependent manner. In OVCAR8/ADR cells, this effect is completely reversed by the iron chelator Deferoxamine (HY-B1625) (40 μM) or Ferrostatin-1 (HY-100579) (250 nM)[1][2].
Ferroptosis inducer-16 (15-60 nM; 12 h) downregulates SLC7A11 and GPX4 protein expression in A549 and A549/CDDP cells in a dose-dependent manner[1].
Ferroptosis inducer-16 (20 nM) downregulates SLC7A11 and GPX4 protein expression in OVCAR8/ADR cells, while also downregulating NCOA4, SLC40A1, and FTH expression. These effects are reversed by Carboxy-PTIO (100 μM), Deferoxamine (40 μM), Ferrostatin-1 (250 nM), and N-acetylcysteine (HY-B0215) (2 mM)[2].
Ferroptosis inducer-16 (10-20 nM) upregulates NCOA4 expression and downregulates ferritin heavy chain (FTH) and SLC40A1 protein expression in OVCAR8/ADR cells[2].
Ferroptosis inducer-16 (20 nM; 6 h) decreases calcein-AM fluorescence intensity in OVCAR8/ADR cells, indicating an elevation of the labile iron pool (LIP)[2].
Ferroptosis inducer-16 (10-80 nM) increases total ROS levels in A549, A549/CDDP, and OVCAR8/ADR cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner; additionally, in A549 and A549/CDDP cells, it is accompanied by elevated mitochondrial NO levels. The proliferative inhibition of this compound against OVCAR8/ADR cells (20 nM; 24 h) is completely reversed by the ROS scavenger Acetylcysteine (HY-B0215) (2 mM)[1][2].
Ferroptosis inducer-16 (10-80 nM; 12 h) depletes intracellular GSH and reduces the GSH/GSSG ratio in A549, A549/CDDP, and OVCAR8/ADR cells in a dose-dependent manner, disrupting redox homeostasis; meanwhile, it increases MDA levels in OVCAR8/ADR cells, indicating enhanced lipid peroxidation[1][2].
Ferroptosis inducer-16 (10-80 nM; 4-6 h) induces mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) collapse and elevates mitochondrial ROS (superoxide) levels in A549, A549/CDDP, and OVCAR8/ADR cells in a dose-dependent manner, triggering lipid peroxidation and increasing ferrous iron accumulation[1][2].
Ferroptosis inducer-16 (10-20 nM; 6 h) disrupts lysosomal integrity in OVCAR8/ADR cells (as evidenced by decreased lysotracker red fluorescence intensity), triggers lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP), and concomitantly elevates cytosolic cathepsin B levels[2].
Ferroptosis inducer-16 (10-80 nM; 4-6 h) triggers lipid peroxidation in A549, A549/CDDP, and OVCAR8/ADR cells, as evidenced by enhanced BODIPY 581/591 C11 oxidation fluorescence[1][2].
