Product Information
Name:Dehydro-α-lapachone
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Dehydro-α-lapachone is a naturally derived quinone compound, which is isolated from the heartwood of the lapacho tree, belonging to the Bignoniaceae family. With its unique chemical structure, this compound undergoes a redox cycling process. This process generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) selectively in cancer cells, leading to oxidative stress and cellular apoptosis. The compound's ability to selectively target cancer cells is linked to its modulation of key cellular pathways involving NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), enhancing its potential as an anticancer agent.
