Product Information
Name:b-Lapachone
Brand:Biosynth
Description:b-Lapachone is a naphthoquinone derivative, which is a naturally occurring compound sourced primarily from the bark of Tabebuia avellanedae, a tree native to South America. This compound is known for its unique mechanism of action, involving the induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subsequent cell death in oxidative stress-sensitive cells. Specifically, b-Lapachone undergoes a redox cycling process catalyzed by the enzyme NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), found at elevated levels in certain cancer cells. This redox cycling results in excessive ROS production, leading to DNA damage and triggering programmed cell death pathways.
