dtun

DTUN is a lipophilic hyponitrite radical initiator.1It initiates co-autoxidation of STY-BODIPY-embedded egg phosphatidylcholine liposomes when used at a concentration of 0.2 mM. DTUN has been used in fluorescence-enabled inhibited autoxidation (FENIX) assays for the development of ferroptosis inhibitors and the study of antioxidants in lipid membranes.1,2 1.Shah, R., Farmer, L.A., Zilka, O., et al.Beyond DPPH: Use of fluorescence-enabled inhibited autoxidation to predict oxidative cell death rescueCell Chem.
