FSP1 (EC50 = 103 nM)
Ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1/AIFM2). iFSP1 is a potent, selective, and glutathione-independent inhibitor of FSP1 with an EC50 of 103 nM. FSP1 is a key negative regulator of ferroptosis that functions in parallel to glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) to protect cells from lipid peroxidation. FSP1 reduces ubiquinone to ubiquinol, which acts as a lipophilic radical-trapping antioxidant that prevents lipid peroxidation. By inhibiting FSP1, iFSP1 sensitizes cells to ferroptosis, particularly in cells where GPX4 is also inhibited or deficient. FSP1 has emerged as a promising target for cancer therapy, as many cancer cells rely on FSP1 to evade ferroptosis. |

| ln Vitro |
iFSP1 (0.001-1 μM; 24 hours) inhibits the growth of Gpx4-knockout cells in a dose-dependent manner but not the growth of wild-type cells. Ferroptosis-inducing iFSP1 can be prevented in GPX4 knockout cells by treatment with the ferroptosis inhibitor Lip-1[1].
iFSP1 (0.001-1 μM; 24 hours) is less effective than genetic deletion of FSP1, whereas iFSP1 treatment in the FSP1-knockout background had no additive effect to RSL3-induced ferroptosis[1]. iFSP1 (3 μM; 24 hours) treatment results in an obvious toxicity of RSL3 in a panel of genetically engineered (FSP1-knockout) human cancer cell lines[1]. AIFM2: A previously unrecognized anti-ferroptotic gene is the flavoprotein apoptosis-inducing factor mitochondria-associated 2. Ironoptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1), also known as AIFM2, is a protein.[1] iFSP1 demonstrates potent in vitro activity against FSP1 with an EC50 of 103 nM. In cell-based assays, iFSP1 selectively induces ferroptosis in GPX4-knockout cells that overexpress FSP1. The compound sensitizes various human cancer cell lines to ferroptosis inducers such as (1S,3R)-RSL3. iFSP1 is glutathione-independent, meaning that its activity is not affected by cellular glutathione levels, distinguishing it from other ferroptosis inducers that target GPX4. The compound's selectivity for FSP1 over other targets has been confirmed in selectivity profiling studies. Further detailed in vitro data are available in the primary literature. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity of iFSP1 has been investigated in preclinical models of cancer. By inhibiting FSP1, iFSP1 promotes ferroptosis and may have therapeutic effects in cancers that are dependent on FSP1 for survival. However, specific in vivo data, including efficacy in animal models, pharmacokinetics, and toxicity, are not extensively detailed in the available literature summary. Further information would be available in the primary research publications.

| Enzyme Assay |
Enzyme inhibition assays for iFSP1 are performed using recombinant FSP1 enzyme. The compound is incubated with the enzyme and a substrate, and the inhibition of FSP1 activity is measured. The EC50 of 103 nM is determined from dose-response curves. Selectivity against other targets is assessed using broad panel screening, confirming the compound's selectivity for FSP1.
|
| Cell Assay |
After plating, cells are seeded on 96-well plates (2,500 cells per well) and given an iFSP-1 treatment. According to the manufacturer's instructions, cell viability is evaluated 24 h (unless otherwise specified) after treatment using AquaBluer as an indicator of viable cells.
Cell-based assays for iFSP1 are conducted using cell lines to study ferroptosis. Cells are treated with the compound at various concentrations, and the following endpoints are assessed: cell viability (by MTT or CellTiter-Glo), lipid peroxidation (by C11-BODIPY fluorescence), and ferroptosis markers. The compound's ability to induce ferroptosis is evaluated, particularly in cells with GPX4 deficiency or in the presence of ferroptosis inducers. The specificity of the observed effects can be confirmed by using cells with FSP1 knockdown or by using ferroptosis inhibitors such as ferrostatin-1. |
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies for iFSP1 would typically involve administration to animal models of cancer. The compound's ability to inhibit FSP1 activity in tissues can be assessed by measuring ferroptosis markers. However, specific in vivo data for iFSP1 are not extensively detailed in the available literature summary.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of iFSP1 are not extensively reported in the available literature. As a small molecule FSP1 inhibitor with a molecular weight of 323.35, the compound would be expected to have reasonable bioavailability if administered appropriately, though this would need to be confirmed experimentally. Storage recommendations include standard conditions for research compounds. The compound is soluble in DMSO and other organic solvents.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological data for iFSP1 are not extensively reported in the available literature. The compound is intended for research use only and is not approved for clinical use. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, lab coat, safety glasses) and proper ventilation.
