Additionally, recent studies have discovered several new small molecules that can modulate the DHODH-CoQ signaling pathway, thereby influencing ferroptosisFor instance, the use of DHODH inhibitors alongside cisplatin promotes ferroptosis in cervical cancer cells, showcasing synergistic therapeutic effects through the modulation of the mTOR signaling pathway (Jiang et al., 2023). The gene discussed is DHODH; the disease is cervical carcinoma.
