TABLE 2.
Reagent | Target/function | Impact on ferroptosis | Mechanism |
Selenium | Selenoproteins, GPX4 | Stimulates the expression of the selenoproteins, such as antioxidant GPX4 | GPX4 availability |
DFX | Iron | Function as iron chelator, depletes iron, and prevent iron-dependent lipid peroxidation | Reduced iron overload |
VK-28 | Iron | Function as iron chelator, depletes iron, and prevent iron-dependent lipid peroxidation | Reduced iron overload |
Deferiprone | Iron | Function as iron chelator, depletes iron, and prevent iron-dependent lipid peroxidation | Reduced iron overload |
LOX inhibitors | Lipid peroxidation | Inhibits cytosolic ROS production and blocks lipid peroxidation | Radical trapping |
Ebselen (DMT1 inhibitors) | Iron | Reduced the iron ion transport activity of DMT1 and prevents iron-dependent lipid peroxidation | Reduced iron overload |
