Ferroptosis-IN-20

Ferroptosis-IN-20 (Compound 34a) is an inhibitor of ferroptosis targeting voltage-dependent anion channels (VDAC) with an EC50 of 24.2 nM. It prevents VDAC oligomerization and lipid peroxidation. Additionally, Ferroptosis-IN-20 reduces ROS levels, diminishes TFR1-mediated iron uptake, inhibits Fe2+ levels, and restores glutathione (GSH) levels. It also alleviates acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by folic acid.
