| الوصف: | Ferroptosis is a form of oxidative cell death that is increasingly recognized as a key mechanism not only in neurodegeneration but also in regulated cell death, causing disease in other tissues. In neurons, major hallmarks of ferroptosis involve the accumulation of lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) and impairment of mitochondrial morphology and function. Compounds that interfere with ferroptosis could provide novel treatment options for neurodegenerative disorders and other diseases involving ferroptosis. In the present study, we developed new compounds by refining structural elements of the BH3 interacting-domain death agonist inhibitor BI-6c9, which was previously demonstrated to block ferroptosis signaling at the level of mitochondria. Here, we inserted an antioxidative diphenylamine (DPA) structure to the BI-6c9 structure. These DPA compounds were then tested in models of erastin, and Ras-selective lethal small molecule 3 induced ferroptosis in neuronal HT22 cells. The DPA compounds showed an increased protective potency against ferroptotic cell death compared with the scaffold molecule BI-6c9. Moreover, hallmarks of ferroptosis such as lipid, cytosolic, and mitochondrial ROS formation were abrogated in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Additionally, mitochondrial parameters such as mitochondrial morphology, mitochondrial membrane potential, and mitochondrial respiration were preserved by the DPA compounds, supporting the conclusion that lipid ROS toxicity and mitochondrial impairment are closely related in ferroptosis. Our findings confirm that the DPA compounds are very effective agents in preventing ferroptotic cell death by blocking ROS production and, in particular, via mitochondrial protection. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Preventing neuronal cells from different forms of oxidative cell death was previously described as a promising strategy for treatment against several neurodegenerative diseases. This study reports novel compounds based on a diphenylamine structure that strongly protects neuronal HT22 cells from ferroptotic cell death upon erastin and Ras-selective lethal small molecule 3 induction by preventing the development of different reactive oxygen species and by protecting mitochondria from ferroptotic impairments. |
