Biochem/physiol Actions

Emricasan is an antiapoptotic pan-caspase inhibitor. It has been in clinical trials for the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with advanced fibrosis (scarring) and cirrhosis. Emricasan has also been shown to protect infected astrocytes from ZIKV-induced cell death.
Emricasan, formerly known as IDN-6556, in combination with birinapan is used to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This small molecule irreversible inhibitor is under clinical investigation to reduce hepatic injury and liver fibrosis.

Dexrazoxane (DXZ) reduces cytotoxicity caused by Doxorubicin (DOX). However, the mechanism of DXZ in ferroptosis and cardiomyopathy remains unclear. This research, therefore, explores the role and mechanism of DXZ in DOX-induced ferroptosis and cardiomyopathy in rats. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was
