Features:
Erastin is often referred to as a "metabolic inhibitor" or a "ferroptosis inducer", rather than a traditional chemotherapy agent.
Erastin is primarily available as a research chemical—it's not an approved therapeutic for clinical use.

Pathways:
-Erastin inhibits system xCT, thereby reducing cystine uptake. This leads to decreased intracellular cysteine, a precursor for GSH. As a consequence, the cell’s glutathione levels drop, compromising its ability to neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS).
-Glutathione (GSH) Depletion and Increased Oxidative Stress
-Voltage-Dependent Anion Channels (VDACs): Altering VDAC function can affect mitochondrial metabolism, leading to changes in energy production and further enhancing oxidative stress.

Type: type of cell death
Type of programmed cell death dependent on iron.
Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death characterized by the accumulation of lipid peroxides to lethal levels. It is distinct from other forms of cell death, such as apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy. The process of ferroptosis is heavily dependent on iron metabolism and reactive oxygen species (ROS).
The accumulation of lipid peroxides is a hallmark of ferroptosis. This can occur when the antioxidant defenses, such as glutathione and selenoproteins, are overwhelmed or inhibited. Many cancer cells upregulate GPX4 to evade ferroptosis, making it a potential target for therapy. It has been described that GPX4, xCT and ACSL-4 are the main targets in the regulation of ferroptosis.
