Abstract
Jiang et al. report that oncogenic KRAS signaling induces ferrous iron (Fe2+) accumulation throughout mutant KRAS-mediated transformation. Converting an FDA-approved MEK inhibitor into a ferrous iron–activatable drug conjugate (FeADC) achieves potent MAPK blockade in tumor cells with superior systemic tolerability.
