Erastin is a small-molecule inhibitor of system xc⁻, the plasma membrane cystine/glutamate antiporter (SLC7A11/SLC3A2). By blocking cystine uptake at the cell surface it depletes glutathione, and it is widely used in research to induce oxidative stress, ferroptosis, and selective cell death in cancer and neurodegenerative studies. It is a potent tool for investigating metabolic pathways and drug resistance mechanisms. This chemical has a CAS number of 571203-78-6, molecular formula C30H31ClN4O4, and a molecular weight of 547.04 g/mol. It requires storage between 2–8°C and carries a Danger signal word due to its hazardous properties. Molekula supplies Erastin from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
