Abstract
Ferroptosis is a promising therapeutic target for a variety of diseases, but a majority of known ferroptosis inhibitors belong to either antioxidants or iron chelators. Here, the authors discover a new non-classical small molecule inhibitor that is a PHB2 binder and show it ameliorates liver damage in an acute liver injury model.
