Product Description
Erastin2 is an inducer of ferroptosis and a potent and specific inhibitor of the xc(-) cystine/glutamate transporter system.
Erastin2 is a ferroptosis inducer and a potent, selective inhibitor of the system xc- cystine/glutamate transporter. It is an analog of Erastin. Erastin2 inhibits glutamate release in CCF-STTG1 cells with an IC50 of 0.0035 µM. It induces cell death in HAP1 cells at 5 µM, an effect that can be blocked by the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 or deferoxamine. The CAS number is 1695533-44-8.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Erastin2 targets the system xc- cystine/glutamate transporter, an antiporter that exchanges extracellular cystine for intracellular glutamate. Inhibition of this transporter leads to depletion of intracellular cysteine, which is required for glutathione synthesis. Glutathione depletion results in lipid peroxidation and ferroptotic cell death. Erastin2 is a potent and specific inhibitor of this transporter system.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Erastin2 is a potent inhibitor of the system xc- cystine/glutamate transporter, with an IC50 of 0.0035 µM for inhibiting glutamate release in CCF-STTG1 cells. It induces ferroptosis in various cancer cell lines, including HAP1 cells, at a concentration of 5 µM. This effect is blocked by ferroptosis inhibitors like ferrostatin-1 and deferoxamine.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Erastin2 is used as a research tool to induce ferroptosis in animal models. However, specific in vivo efficacy data in animal models are not detailed in the provided literature. As a ferroptosis inducer, it has potential for studying the role of ferroptosis in cancer and other diseases.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro transporter inhibition assay for Erastin2 involves measuring the uptake of cystine or the release of glutamate in cells expressing the system xc- transporter. The IC50 of 0.0035 µM for inhibiting glutamate release in CCF-STTG1 cells is determined. The compound’s ability to deplete intracellular glutathione and induce lipid peroxidation is also measured.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for Erastin2 involve treating cancer cells with the compound and assessing cell viability, lipid peroxidation (e.g., using C11-BODIPY 581/591), and glutathione levels. The induction of ferroptosis is confirmed by rescue experiments with ferrostatin-1 or deferoxamine. The compound’s effects on cell death pathways are evaluated.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Erastin2 would likely involve xenograft mouse models of cancer. Tumor-bearing mice would be treated with Erastin2, and tumor growth inhibition would be monitored. Biomarkers of ferroptosis, such as lipid peroxidation and glutathione depletion, would be assessed in tumor tissues.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Erastin2 are not detailed in the provided literature. The compound is soluble in DMSO (1 mg/ml) and DMF (10 mg/ml). For storage, it should be kept at -20°C.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No specific toxicity data for Erastin2 are available in the provided literature. As a ferroptosis inducer, it is expected to have cytotoxicity in cells sensitive to ferroptosis. The compound is for research use only.
