Abstract
Lung cancer remains a formidable global health challenge, necessitating innovative therapeutic strategies for improved efficacy. This review explores the untapped potential of natural products and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in lung cancer therapy, focusing on targeting ferroptosis regulators. Natural compounds, such as curcumin and resveratrol, exhibit diverse anti-cancer mechanisms, complemented by TCM's holistic approach rooted in a 3500-year history. Emphasizing the induction of cell death, particularly ferroptosis, the review highlights its significance in overcoming challenges like resistance to conventional therapies. Key ferroptosis regulators are explored in the context of natural products and TCM. The impact of these treatments on crucial pathways, such as antioxidant mechanisms (GPX4, SLC7A11, and NRF2), iron metabolism regulators, and lipid and mitochondria pathways, is examined. The findings provide a comprehensive overview of how natural products and TCM modulate ferroptosis in lung cancer, offering valuable insights for the development of innovative, side-effect-reduced therapeutic strategies. This work holds promise for transforming the landscape of lung cancer treatment by integrating the rich resources of nature into conventional therapeutic paradigms.
