We’ve all had a moment where we arrived at the grocery store and can’t remember passing any of the stoplights along the way. We’re halfway down an aisle and scrambling to remember what we even needed. Our mind is in overdrive trying to sort through our ever-growing to-do list. We’ve been there when just making it through the next task is hard. But the normal stresses of life aren’t the only thing YOU have to deal with. Nora McInerny hosts The Head Start: Embracing the Journey, a new podcast ...

In this episode of The Alpha Human Podcast, Lawrence delves into drugs that can induce Ferroptosis, a form of cell death characterized by the accumulation of lipid peroxides and iron-dependent reactive oxygen species, as this might be an Achilles' heel for cancers that exhibit iron overload. Although there are currently no approved drugs designed for this purpose, there are a number of existing pharmaceuticals that have demonstrated the ability to trigger ferroptosis in cancer cells. For instance, Lawrence highlights Auranofin, a rheumatoid arthritis drug, and Metformin, a widely prescribed drug for diabetes that have both demonstrated the ability to induce ferroptotic death in cancer cells. Additionally, Lawrence discusses the effectiveness of Artesunate, a derivative of artemisinin commonly prescribed as an anti-malarial drug, and Sulfasalazine, primarily used for treating inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis, as both have shown the capability to trigger ferroptosis as well.
