Description: FINO2 is a potent ferroptosis-inducing compound that inhibits GPX4 activity. It functions as a stable oxidant, effectively oxidizing ferrous iron and demonstrating stability across varying pH levels. Furthermore, FINO2 induces widespread lipid peroxidation. Target: Ferroptosis. Smiles:...

FINO2 is a ferroptosis-inducing peroxide compound that indirectly inhibits glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and oxidizes iron. It decreases GPX4 activity and protein levels in vitro but does not act as an active site, allosteric, or covalent inhibitor of GPX4 or alter GPX homeostasis. It also oxidizes iron in vitro,...
