ZX782 acts as a GPX4 protein degrader and an inducer of ferroptosis (Ferroptosis), targeting GPX4 for destruction via both the ubiquitin-proteasome system and the autophagy-lysosome pathway. Following the degradation of GPX4 induced by ZX782, there is a significant increase in the accumulation of lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) in HT1080 cells.
