Cover Story: The amphipolar iron(III) corrole 1-Fe has emerged as a promising therapeutic agent for oxidative-stress-related diseases. It decomposes reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in a highly catalytic and effective manner, acting as a synthetic SOD/catalase/thioredoxin enzyme, decomposing superoxide anion radical, hydrogen peroxide and peroxynitrite, respectively. 1-Fe displays a robust efficacy in murine models of diabetes, neuropathy, and atherosclerosis, and further research has described its potential as a therapeutic agent for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. In this study, we disclose the efficacy of 1-Fe in a G93R-mutated SOD1 ALS zebrafish model. The displayed results disclose a substantial improvement in locomotor activity for ALS fish treated by 1-Fe relative to their non-treated counterparts. View this paper.

Opportunities for Ferroptosis in Cancer Therapy

  • Kenji M. Fujihara,
  • Bonnie Z. Zhang and
  • Nicholas J. Clemons

A critical hallmark of cancer cells is their ability to evade programmed apoptotic cell death. Consequently, resistance to anti-cancer therapeutics is a hurdle often observed in the clinic. Ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic form of cell death distinguishe...

  • Zhenxin Gu and
  • Runqiang Yang

NaCl stress causes oxidative stress in plants; γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) could alleviate such abiotic stress by enhancing the synthesis of phenolics, but the underlying mechanism is not clear. We investigated the effects of GABA on phenolics accumul...
