Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1), a potent and selective ferroptosis inhibitor, suppresses Erastin-induced ferroptosis in HT-1080 cells (EC50=60 nM). Ferrostatin-1, a synthetic antioxidant, acts via a reductive mechanism to prevent damage to membrane lipids and thereby inhibits cell death. Ferrostatin-1 exhibits antifungal activity.
For research use only. We do not sell to patients.
U2OS cells are incubated with DMSO or OSMI-1 for 12 h and then pre-treated with Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1; 2 μM) for 2 h before the treatment of RSL3 for 4 h. Cells are stained with PI and cell death is then assessed by flow cytometry.
Primary HSCs and LX-2 cells are treated with EA (LX-2 cells: 40 μM; primary HSCs: 45 μM), Ferrostatin-1 (1 μM) and ZVAD-FMK (10 μM), and cells are stained with PI (red fluorescence) to examine the dead cells.
Mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) measured by fluorescence microscopy of MCC treated with TBHP and rescued via Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1; 1 μM) using JC-1 Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay. In Fer-1 and DFO group, red fluorescence (poly JC-1) is increased and green fluorescence (mono JC-1) is decreased.
After the gallic acid treatment, Fe2+, ROS, and MDA are significantly increased compared to the control group, and at the same time, the content of GSH is significantly reduced. The intervention of Ferrostatin-1 (2 μM) while treating the cells with gallic acid reversed the changes in these indicators to varying degrees.
Gallic acid affects the expression of ferroptosis-related proteins. The relative expression levels of GPX4, SLC7A11, and SIGMAR1 decreased, while the relative expression levels of ATF4 and TFR1 increased. Ferrostatin-1 (2 μM) as a ferroptosis inhibitor reverses the expression trend of these proteins.
p53 expression of HepG2 cells after treated with Fer-1 at a concentration of 0-40 nM. The addition of Fer-1 could repress the expression of p53 protein by inhibiting the ferroptosis of SFB formulation.
Acot1 protein levels in different concentrations of DOX-treated HL-1 cell with or without Fer-1 (10 μM) for 24 h. Acot1 expression is decreased at a higher concentration of DOX, while Fer-1 co-treatment partially suppressed this trend.

Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
