For cytotoxicity curves, we treated cells with compounds diluted in LG/LF media for three days. We used ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) (#F5879, Sigma Aldrich), fulvestrant (#S1191, Selleckchem), tamoxifen, deferoxamine (DFO), deferasirox (DFX), RSL-3, salinomycin, and erastin (#13258, #14595, #16753, #17754, #19288, and #13579, Cayman Chemical). We manufactured salinomycin analogs AM5 and AM23 as previously described (35 ).
Salinomycin
Salinomycin is a polyether ionophore antibiotic commonly used as a laboratory reagent. It functions as a cation exchanger and can transport monovalent cations across cell membranes.

Antitumor Effects of Drug Treatments on Xenograft Tumors
ATG5‐WT or ATG5‐KO cells were mixed with NSPC medium and Matrigel matrix (Corning, Cambridge, MA, USA) (1:1 ratio) at a concentration of 1 × 104 cells/μL. Cells (1 × 106 cells/100 μL) were subcutaneously transplanted into each of the 2 flanks of anesthetized female Balb/c nu/nu mice. Transplanted mice were randomly distributed into groups (4 mice/group) for drug treatments: control (DMSO, every day); TMZ (Sigma‐Aldrich) (0.1 mg/kg/d, every day); nigericin (Sigma‐Aldrich) (1 mg/kg/d, every day); or salinomycin (Cayman Chemical, Michigan, USA) (5 mg/kg/d, every 2 days). Drugs dissolved in DMSO were mixed with corn oil and intraperitoneally (ip) injected 1 day after transplantation. CQ dissolved in 20% DMSO/PBS(−) were injected (ip 25 mg/kg/d, every day). All drugs were injected into mice for 2 weeks starting on day 1 after transplantation. The widths (W) and lengths (L) of tumors developing in recipients were measured using calipers. Tumor volumes were calculated using the formula: volume (V) = (W2 × L)/2. For intracranial glioma cell injections, cells (1 × 105/mouse) were transplanted into anesthetized 4‐week‐old female Balb/c nu/nu mice as described previously.

Synthesis and Characterization of Ophiobolin Analogues
3-Deoxy OpA was synthesized from ophiobolin I71 (link),72 (link) which was also obtained through fermentation as previously reported70 (link). A two-step synthetic sequence involving conjugate reduction of the enone which proceeded with high diastereoselectivity (> 19:1 by 600 MHz 1H NMR) followed by a Ru(IV)-mediated oxidation of the primary alcohol to the aldehyde delivered 3-deoxy OpA. It should be noted that the methyl group at C3 is epimeric with respect to the C3-methyl group in OpA. However, the importance of the C3-hydroxy group and/or the stereochemistry of this methyl group was verified through studies described below and 3-deoxy OpA served as a negative control. Further details are provided in Supplemental Figure
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
