15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15) catalyzes peroxidation of arachidonic acid-containing phospholipids, a key step in ferroptosis execution. Combined pharmacological inhibition of ALOX15 plus selenium supplementation to augment selenoprotein biosynthesis would provide synergistic blockade at both initiation and execution phases.
