Produktinformation

• Name: 9-Hydroxy-alpha-lapachone
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: 9-Hydroxy-alpha-lapachone is a natural naphthoquinone derivative, which is extracted from the heartwood of the Lapacho tree (Tabebuia sp.). This compound exhibits a variety of biological activities due to its ability to modulate multiple cellular pathways. The mode of action primarily involves the induction of oxidative stress within cancer cells through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to apoptosis. It also inhibits topoisomerase enzymes, which are crucial for DNA replication and repair, thereby interfering with cancer cell proliferation.
