What is BETA-LAPACHONE?
Description
β-Lapachone (4707-32-8) is a naturally occurring quinone found in the bark of the Lapacho tree (Tabebuia avellanedae). A novel DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor which unlike camptothecin does not stabilize the cleavable complex indicating a novel mode of action.1?Induces apoptosis in a number of cancer cell lines.2?In cancer cells over-expressing NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase, reduction of β-lapachone leads to futile cycling between quinone and hydroquinone forms3?resulting in the production of reactive oxygen species4. Suppresses radiation-induced activation of NFκB.5

The Uses of BETA-LAPACHONE
β-Lapachone is a naturally occurring quinone obtained from the bark of the lapacho tree (Tabebuia avellanedae) with cancer chemopreventive properties. Induces apoptosis in HL-60 and human prostate cancer cells.
The Uses of BETA-LAPACHONE
β-Lapachone has been used:
- as an anticancer compound in catalase-inhibitable luminol/hydrogen peroxide (HRP)-dependent chemiluminometric?assay in Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells and isolated mitochondria
- as a naphthoquinone to study its effects on the growth and differentiation of mice granulocyte and macrophage progenitor cells
- as a substrate to study the enzyme activity of human recombinant NAD(P)H dehydrogenase 1 (NQO1) protein
What are the applications of Application
β-Lapachone is a selective DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor
Definition
ChEBI: A benzochromenone that is 3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[h]chromene-5,6-dione substituted by geminal methyl groups at position 2. Isolated from Tabebuia avellanedae, it exhibits antineoplastic and anti-inflammatory activi ies.
Biochem/physiol Actions
β-Lapachone acts as a DNA topoisomerase type I inhibitor. It exhibits anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, trypanocidal, and antiviral properties. β-Lapachone also inhibits nitric oxide?(NO) and inducible NO synthase (iNOS) in alveolar macrophages.
