Erastin is a cell-permeable ferroptosis activatior and an antitumor agent that is selective for cell expressing oncogene RAS.

Ferroptosis is a unique iron-dependent form of nonapoptotic cell death. It is triggered by oncogenic RAS-selective lethal small molecule erastin. Acitvation of ferroptosis lead to nonapoptotic destruction of cancer cells.

In BJ-TERT/LT/ST/RASV12 cells, Erastin activated a rapid, oxidative and non-apoptotic cell death process. It exerted lethality in human cancer cells with HRAS, KRAs or BRAF oncogenic mutation involving the RAS-RAF-MEF pathway and acted via modulating VDAC (volatage-dependent anion channels). [1] In HT 1080 cells, Erastin-induced death triggered the cytosolic ROS accumulation and the induced oxidative death was iron dependent. Erastin also inhibited the activity of independent cystine/glutamate antiporter, system xc−. [2]
