Beta-lapachone-containing PEG-PLA polymer micelles as novel nanotherapeutics against NQO1-overexpressing tumor cells.
Beta-lapachone (beta-lap) is a novel anticancer agent that is bioactivated by NADP(H): quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), an enzyme overexpressed in a variety of tumors. Despite its therapeutic promise, the poor aqueous solubility of beta-lap hinders its preclinical evaluation and clinical translation. Our objective was to develop beta-lap-containing poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(D,L-lactide) ...
متن کاملEsterase-activatable β-lapachone prodrug micelles for NQO1-targeted lung cancer therapy.
UNLABELLED Lung cancer is one of the most lethal forms of cancer and current chemotherapeutic strategies lack broad specificity and efficacy. Recently, β-lapachone (β-lap) was shown to be highly efficacious in killing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells regardless of their p53, cell cycle and caspase status. Pre-clinical and clinical use of β-lap (clinical form, ARQ501 or 761) is hampered ...
متن کاملCatalase abrogates β-lapachone-induced PARP1 hyperactivation-directed programmed necrosis in NQO1-positive breast cancers.
Improving patient outcome by personalized therapy involves a thorough understanding of an agent's mechanism of action. β-Lapachone (clinical forms, Arq501/Arq761) has been developed to exploit dramatic cancer-specific elevations in the phase II detoxifying enzyme NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1). NQO1 is dramatically elevated in solid cancers, including primary and metastatic [e.g., triple...
متن کاملArylamino-nor-β-lapachone derivative-induced apoptosis in human prostate cancer cells: involvement of NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1)
Background b-lapachone, a DNA repair inhibitor, has been recognized as important prototype with activity against cancer cells devoided of cytotoxicity in non-tumor cells. NQO1 is a reductive enzyme that is important for the activation of many bioreductive quinones. Thus, differential levels of NQO1 in tissues, including tumors, can provide a target for an enzyme-directed approach to cancer ther...
متن کاملTerpinen-4-ol, tyrosol, and β-lapachone as potential antifungals against dimorphic fungi
This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antifungal activity of terpinen-4-ol, tyrosol, and β-lapachone against strains of Coccidioides posadasii in filamentous phase (n=22) and Histoplasma capsulatum in both filamentous (n=40) and yeast phases (n=13), using the broth dilution methods as described by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, to determine the minimum inhibitory concentra...
