Beta-Lapachone (also known as ARQ-501; NSC 26326; ARQ501; NSC-26326) is a novel, naturally occurring, potent and selective DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. It shows no inhibitory effects on either DNA ligase or DNA topoisomerase II. The bark of Tabebuia sp. yields a naphthoquinone compound called beta-lapachone, which has antitumor, antibacterial, antifungal, and antitrypanosomal properties. Through indirect mechanisms involving the induction of p53-independent apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, mediated by changes in the activities of cell cycle control regulatory proteins, betalachone demonstrates its anti-tumor effects.

Enzyme Assay |
DNA topoisomerase I is cultured in 20 μL of relaxation buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 7.5) with or without drugs (including β-Lapachone). (30 μg/mL bovine serum albumin, 50 mM KCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.5 mM dithiothreitol, 0.5 mM EDTA) for 30 minutes at 37°C. Proteinase K (50 μg/mL) and 1% SDS are added to halt reactions. The products are separated by electrophoresis in 1% agarose gel in TAE buffer (0.04 M tris acetate, 0.001 M EDTA) following an additional 1-hour incubation at 37°C. After electrophoresis, ethidium bromide is used to stain the gel. Utilizing an NIH image analysis system, the photographic negative is scanned.

Cell Assay |
The MTT assay is used to quantify cytotoxicity. Two days before different concentrations of either topotecan or β-lapachone are added, IMR-32 and JCI cells are plated in 96-well microtiter plates at a concentration of 5.0 × 104 (topotecan) or 2.5 × 104 (β-lapachone) cells/well/100 µL medium. After that, the cells are kept in a CO2 incubator at 37°C for 72 hours. A Cell Proliferation Kit I is used to measure the proliferation of cells. Four distinct cultures are used in the experiments.

Additional Infomation |
Beta-lapachone is 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 activities. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, an anti-inflammatory agent and a plant metabolite. It is a benzochromenone and a member of orthoquinones.
Lapachone has been used in trials studying the treatment of Cancer, Carcinoma, Advanced Solid Tumors, Head and Neck Neoplasms, and Carcinoma, Squamous Cell. beta-Lapachone has been reported in Catalpa longissima, Handroanthus guayacan, and other organisms with data available. Lapachone is a poorly soluble, ortho-naphthoquinone with potential antineoplastic and radiosensitizing activity. Beta-lapachone (b-lap) is bioactivated by NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1), creating a futile oxidoreduction that generates high levels of superoxide. In turn, the highly reactive oxygen species (ROS) interact with DNA, thereby causing single-strand DNA breaks and calcium release from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stores. Eventually, the extensive DNA damage causes hyperactivation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), an enzyme facilitating DNA repair, accompanied by rapid depletion of NAD+/ATP nucleotide levels. As a result, a caspase-independent and ER-stress induced mu-calpain-mediated cell death occurs in NQO1-overexpressing tumor cells. NQO1, a flavoprotein and two-electron oxidoreductase, is overexpressed in a variety of tumors. |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
