Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Ammonium ferric citrate is an iron salt and ferroptosis inducer that targets the GPX4-GSS/GSR-GGT pathway. Inhibition of this axis suppresses cellular antioxidant defenses and induces oxidative stress injury in non-small-cell lung carcinoma cells. Downstream, this pathway disruption impairs metabolic and biosynthetic processes, inhibits cell proliferation and invasion, and decreases autophagy, ultimately triggering iron-dependent cell death through ferroptosis.

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
