FIN56 is a specific inducer of ferroptosis. FIN56 induces ferroptosis by inducing degradation of GPX4. FIN56 also binds to and activates squalene synthase.
In Vitro Activity
FIN56 (5 μM) can trigger ferroptosis by inhibition of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4).
FIN56 (5 μM, 10 hours) depletes GPX4 protein in HT-1080 cells.
