Bioactivity | NA-Ir is a ferroptosis inducer. NA-Ir induces ferroptinophagy by targeting mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and activating the cGAS-STING pathway, while also triggering the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through photodynamic therapy (PDT), depleting glutathione (GSH), and downregulating glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), leading to lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis (Ferroptosis). NA-Ir exhibits higher anticancer activity under light irradiation and selectively inhibits cancer cells with high H2S levels[1]. |
