| Application: | Erastin has been used: • as a positive control for inducing ferroptosis in hepatic stellate cell (HSC) • to induce ferroptosis and in transferrin internalization assay of human fibrosarcoma HT1080 cells • to induce ferroptosis of muscle-derived cell lines |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Erastin is an antitumor agent selective for tumor cells bearing oncogenic RAS (i.e. HRAS, KRAS). Erastin produces ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic tumor cell death, by altering mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) gating allowing cations to enter mitochondria and leading to release of oxidative species causing oxidative cell death. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Erastin is an antitumor agent selective for tumor cells bearing oncogenic RAS. |
