Fig. 4. Compounds implicated in modulating ferroptosis.

Fig. 4

Some of these compounds are clinically available therapeutics that may additionally induce ferroptosis and/or sensitize cells to ferroptosis (cisplatin, metformin, sulfasalazine, sorafenib, immune checkpoint inhibitors HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, ionizing radiation, artesunate, haloperidol, lapatinib, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, temozolomide), while others may prevent ferroptosis (selenium, idebenone, CoQ10, zileuton, rosiglitazone, vitamin E, DFO, CPX, resveratrol). In addition, several compounds currently limited to experimental studies carry potential for optimization toward clinical utilization in ferroptosis induction (erastin, RSL3, FIN56, BSO, ML-210, IKE, apocynin, DPI, dioscin) and ferroptosis blockade (baicalein, triascin C, ferrostatin 1, liproxstatin 1, BHT, BH4). RSL3, RAS synthetic lethal 3; BSO, buthionine sulfoximine; IKE, imidazole ketone erastin; DPI, diphenyleneiodonium chloride; BHT, butylated hydroxytoluene; BH4, tetrahydrobiopterin; DFO, deferoxamine; CPX, ciclopirox olamine.
