CCK-8 assay and colony formation assay detected cell viability induced by BSN. Molecular docking verified the binding of BSN to the target protein. Western blot and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay revealed whether BSN can inactivate the NRF2 signaling and inhibit the expression of p62 and HO-1.

BSN inhibits CRC cell viability in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Furthermore, this inhibitory effect is associated with the induction of ferroptosis, as BSN suppresses the cell viability of CRC by inducing GPX4-regulated ferroptosis.
