Apoptosis is known as programmed cell death. Some non-apoptotic cell death is increasingly recognized as genetically controlled, or ‘regulated’. However, the full extent and diversity of these alternative cell death mechanisms remains uncharted. Here, we surveyed the landscape of pharmacologically-accessible cell death mechanisms. Of 56 caspase-independent lethal compounds, modulatory profiling revealed ten inducing three types of regulated non-apoptotic cell death. Lead optimization of one of the ten resulted in the discovery of FIN56, a specific inducer of ferroptosis. Ferroptosis occurs when the lipid repair enzyme GPX4 is inhibited. We found that FIN56 promotes degradation of GPX4. We performed chemoproteomics to reveal that FIN56 also binds to and activates squalene synthase, an enzyme involved in the cholesterol synthesis, in a manner independent of GPX4 degradation. These discoveries reveal that dysregulation of lipid metabolism is associated with ferroptosis. This systematic approach is a means to discover and characterize novel cell death phenotypes.
