Developing new chemotherapeutics that are structurally and mechanistically unique is a need due to the rapid rise of cancer incidences across the globe. Here we report the identification of irreversible, thiol-reactive diazepam derivatives as GPX4 modifiers and nanomolar inducers of ferroptosis in liver cancer cells.
