Background:

Erastin2 is a ferroptosis inducer and an inhibitor of the system xc- cystine/glutamate transporter.[1] [2]? It inhibits glutamate release in CCF-STTG1 cells (IC50 = 0.0035 &#181M).[2]? It induces cell death in HAP1 cells when used at a concentration of 5 &#181M, an effect that can be blocked by the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 or deferoxamine . [1] Erastin2 also induces ferroptotic cell death in HT-1080 cells (EC50 = 0.15 &#181M), an effect that can be blocked by the reducing agent β-mercaptoethanol (EC50 = >20 &#181M). [3] It increases lipid peroxidation in HT-1080 cells when used at a concentration of 1 &#181M.
