Activation of G6PD with AG1 reduces mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) and phosphatidylserine externalization while enhancing platelet aggregation.

LA-1 effectively attenuated DIC progression by suppressing tissue factor (TF) release from necroptotic macrophages, achieved through inhibition of RIPK1 phosphorylation at Ser166—a critical step in necroptosis signaling pathways. Additionally, LA-1 inhibited necroptosis in pancreatic acinar cells, potentially disrupting macrophage necroptosis.
