Liproxstatin-1
Liproxstatin-1 (CAS: 950455-15-9) is a small-molecule inhibitor targeting ferroptosis. It is designed to inhibit ferroptotic cell death, thereby regulating iron-dependent cellular demise.
Liproxstatin-1 exerts its biological activity primarily by blocking ferroptosis induction. In cell-based studies, Liproxstatin-1 demonstrates potent inhibition, with an IC50 value of 22 nM. Liproxstatin-1 suppresses RSL3-induced cell death in primary human proximal tubule epithelial cells (HRPTEpiCs) and inhibits BODIPY 581/591 C11 oxidation in Gpx4-/- cells.
Liproxstatin-1 holds research potential in ferroptosis-related disease models and the study of cell death mechanisms.

|
Preparation method |
The solubility of this compound in DMSO is > 10.5 mg/mL. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 °C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below - 20 °C for several months. |

|
Applications |
Liproxstatin-1 inhibited the growth of Gpx4-/- cells with an IC50 value of 22 nM. At the dose of 50 nM, Liproxstatin-1 completely prevented lipid peroxidation. Liproxstatin-1 (200 nM) dose-dependently protected Gpx4-/- cells against ferroptosis-inducing agents, such as L-buthionine sulphoximine (10 μM), erastin (1 μM) and RSL3 (0.5 μM), whereas it failed to rescue cell death caused by staurosporine (0.2 μM) and H2O2 (200 μM). |

|
Dosage form |
10 mg/kg; i.p. |
|
Applications |
In GreERT2; Gpx4fl/fl mice, Liproxstatin-1 significantly extended the survival period. The TUNEL staining results after 9-day treatment showed a markedly reduced number of TUNEL+ cells in the Liproxstatin-1 treatment group than in the vehicle control group, indicating that Liproxstatin-1 delayed ferroptosis in tubular cells. |
|
Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
