Hydropersulfides inhibit lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis by scavenging radicals

Uladzimir Barayeu et al.

Summary: Ferroptosis is a type of cell death caused by radical-driven lipid peroxidation. Our study shows that sulfane sulfur species, particularly hydropersulfides, scavenge free radicals and suppress ferroptosis. Cysteine can support ferroptosis resistance independently of the GPX4 pathway by providing sulfur for S-0 biosynthesis.
