Abstract Breast cancer is the most prevalent worldwide and its incidence increases with age, posing a significant threat to women's health globally. Due clinical heterogeneity of breast cancer, majority patients develop drug resistance metastasis following treatment. Ferroptosis, form programmed cell death dependent on iron, characterized by accumulation lipid peroxides, elevated levels iron ions peroxidation. The underlying mechanisms signalling pathways associated ferroptosis are intricate interconnected, involving various proteins enzymes such as cystine/glutamate antiporter, glutathione peroxidase 4, inhibitor 1 dihydroorotate dehydrogenase. Consequently, emerging research suggests that may offer novel target for treatment; however, in urgently require resolution. Additionally, certain natural compounds have been reported induce ferroptosis, thereby interfering cancer. Therefore, this review not only discusses molecular multiple mediate (including metastasis, invasion proliferation) but also elaborates which Furthermore, summarizes potential compound types serve inducers future tumour cells, providing lead development ferroptosis‐inducing agents. Last, proposes synergy combining traditional drugs treatment suggesting directions offering new insights.

Abstract Cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease that poses serious threat to human health worldwide. Despite significant advances in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, prognosis survival rate cancer remain poor due late diagnosis, drug resistance, adverse reactions. Therefore, it very necessary study development mechanism formulate effective therapeutic interventions. As widely available bioactive substances, natural products have shown obvious anticancer potential, especially by targeting abnormal epigenetic changes. The main active part garlic organic sulfur compounds, which diallyl trisulfide (DATS) content highest, accounting for more than 40% total composition. garlic‐derived compounds been recognized as an antioxidant prevention treatment. However, molecular antitumor effect remains unclear. Recent studies identified compound DATS plays critical roles enhancing CpG demethylation or promoting histone acetylation inhibitor. Here, we review progress against through pathways.

L48H37 is a synthetic curcumin analog that has anticancer potentials. Here, we further explored the effect of on oral cancer cells and its mechanistic acts. Cell cycle distribution was assessed using flow cytometric analysis. Apoptosis elucidated by staining with PI/Annexin V activation caspase cascade. Cellular signaling apoptotic protein profiling, Western blotting, specific inhibitors. Our findings showed significantly reduced cell viability SCC-9 HSC-3 cells, resulting in sub-G1 phase accumulation increased cells. Apoptotic profiling revealed cleaved caspase-3, downregulated cellular inhibitor apoptosis 1 (cIAP1) X-linked (XIAP) cIAP1 XIAP both were also demonstrated blotting. Meanwhile, triggered caspases mitogen-activated kinases (MAPKs). The involvement c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) p38 MAPK (p38) L48H37-triggered cascade Collectively, these indicate potent activity against which may be attributed to JNK/p38-mediated apoptosis. This suggests potential benefit for treatment cancer.
