Lipophilic iron chelators (deferasirox, VK28 analogs) cross the BBB to sequester labile iron, preventing Fenton chemistry and subsequent lipid peroxidation in astrocytes. This preserves AQP4 perivascular localization and water homeostasis. Mechanistically plausible given iron-dependent ferroptosis, but prior clinical trials of deferoxamine in TBI and stroke showed limited efficacy, raising concerns about relevance to human acute CNS injury. Requires rigorous dose-response with MRI-based iron qua

## Mechanistic Overview Sequential Iron Chelation (Deferoxamine) and GPX4 Restoration (Sulforaphane) Prevents the Self-Amplifying Iron-Ferroptosis-Edema Cascade Post-Cardiac Arrest starts from the claim that modulating Labile iron pool (deferoxamine target) and GPX4 (sulforaphane target) within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "## Mechanistic Overview Sequential Iron Chelation (Deferoxamine) and GPX4 Restoration (Su
