Ferritinophagy-Mediated ROS Production Contributed to Proliferation Inhibition, Apoptosis, and Ferroptosis Induction in Action of Mechanism of 2-Pyridylhydrazone Dithiocarbamate Acetate.

ABSTRACT: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is involved in the mechanism of action of a number of drugs, but the biological effects of ROS remain to be clarified. Furthermore, ferroptosis involves iron-dependent ROS production that may be derived from ferritinophagy; however, the association between ferroptosis and ferritinophagy has not been fully established. The present study demonstrated that dithiocarbamate derivatives (iron chelators) exhibited antineoplastic properties involving ferritinophagy induction, but whether the underlying mechanisms involved ferroptosis was unknown. To gain insight into the underlying mechanism, a dithiocarbamate derivative, 2-pyridylhydrazone dithiocarbamate s-acetic acid (PdtaA), was prepared. An MTT assay demonstrated that PdtaA inhibited proliferation invo
