Overview of inhibitors of ferroptosis.

TargetInhibitorMechanisms associated with ferroptosis

ROS and iron ionsMinocyclineMinocycline reduces iron overload after ICH and iron induced brain injury
Ferrostain-1Scavenge ROS, inhibit lipid peroxidation, and reduce unstable iron in cells
Liproxstatin-1Scavenge ROS, inhibit lipid peroxidation, and activate the Nrf2 signaling pathway
CurcuminChelate iron, reduce iron accumulation, and activate the Nrf2 signaling pathway
Alpha tocopherol analogsRemove ROS and inhibit lipid peroxidation
Nitrogen oxidesInhibit Fenton reaction and hydroxyl radical production
GSH and GPX4BaicaleinInhibit GSH depletion, GPX4 degradation, and lipid peroxidation and activate the Nrf2 signaling pathway
GastrodinInhibit glutamate-induced iron death in HT-22 cells
ACSL4RezulinPrevention of ferroptosis and lipid peroxidation in Pfa1 cells induced by RSL3
5-LOxZileutonProtect ACSL4 overexpressed LNCaP and K562 cells from erastin-induced ferroptosis
TFR1 and FTH1HSPB1Inhibit ferroptosis induced by erastin
Lipid peroxidationXJB-5-131Suppress lipid peroxidation
IronDeferoxamineDeplete iron and prevent iron-dependent lipid peroxidation
