target for the treatment of, among others, drug-resistant cancers. Although most GPX4 inhibitors rely on a chloroacetamide moiety to modify covalently the protein's catalytic selenocysteine residue, the discovery and mechanisticelucidation of structurally diverse GPX4-inhibiting molecules have uncovered novel electrophilic warheads that bind and inhibit GPX4. Here, we report our discovery that diacylfuroxans
