Notes: Ferristatin II is an inhibitor of iron uptake.{65353} It inhibits iron uptake (IC50 = ~12 µM), as well as induces degradation of transferrin receptor protein 1 (TfR1), an effect that can be reversed by the lipid membrane disruptor nystatin, in HeLa cells. In vivo ferristatin II (0.2, 10, and 40 mg/kg) reduces serum iron levels and transferrin saturation in rats. It also suppresses traumatic brain injury-induced lipid peroxidation, neuronal apoptosis, and the number of cortical iron deposits in rats.{65354}
