- Product Overview:
FINO2 is a ferroptosis-inducing peroxide compound that indirectly inhibits glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and oxidizes iron.{35318} 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, leading to degradation of the endoperoxide moiety, but does not affect the protein levels of iron regulatory proteins, such as IRP2, FTL1, or TFR. FINO2 induces lipid peroxidation of a large subset of the lipidome in HT-1080 cells when used at a concentration of 10 µM and induces ferroptosis in an arachidonic acid lipoxygenase-independent manner. It inhibits cell growth (mean GI50 = 5.8 µM) and induces lethality (mean LC50 = 46 µM) in the NCI-60 panel of cancer cell lines.{35102} It is selective for oncogenically transformed BJ-ELR cells over noncancerous BJ-hTERT cells when used at concentrations of 15 and 20 µM. FINO2 (6 µM) induces oxidative stress, including lipid peroxidation, in RS4;11 B-lymphoblastic leukemia cells. It induces iron-dependent cell death, an effect that can be blocked by pretreatment with the lipophilic antioxidants ferrostatin-1 (Item No. 17729) and liproxstatin-1 (Item No. 17730), and does not induce markers of apoptosis, necrosis, or autophagy in RS4;11 cells.
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
