The Regulation of Common Chinese Medicine Targeting Ferroptosis on a Variety of Clinical Diseases

Abstract

Ferroptosis is an iron dependent regulatory mechanism of cell death, driven by Lipid peroxidation and iron dependent in cells. It is different from apoptosis, necrosis and autophagy in morphology, biochemistry and genetics. Ferroptosis is closely related to physiological and pathological processes such as cell growth and development, aging, and immunity and plays an important role in many diseases. In clinical practice, traditional Chinese medicine plays an increasingly important role in treating cancer. In recent years, although there have been more and more studies on the pathogenesis of Ferroptosis in traditional Chinese medicine, the role of Ferroptosis in the clinical treatment of traditional Chinese medicine remains to be further explored. Based on the research on the mechanism of Ferroptosis, this article mainly introduces the application of common traditional Chinese medicine in the research on the pathogenesis of Ferroptosis so as to help clinicians understand more about the status quo of traditional Chinese medicine in treating Ferroptosis related diseases.
