beta-lapachone and Eye Cancer, Retinoblastoma

beta-lapachone has been researched along with Eye Cancer, Retinoblastoma in 2 studies

beta-lapachone: antineoplastic inhibitor of reverse transcriptase, DNA topoisomerase, and DNA polymerase
beta-lapachone : 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.

"To investigate the cytotoxicity of beta-lapachone, a potent agent that may selectively target tumour cells, in retinoblastoma (RB) cell lines."7.74Beta-lapachone inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in retinoblastoma cell lines. ( Conway, RM; Howard, SA; Madigan, MC; O'Brien, JM; Qi, J; Shah, HR; Van Quill, KR; Weinberg, V, 2008)
"Treatment with wortmannin or transfection with a dominant negative form of Akt anticipated at 24 h the effects induced by PTX/LPC, suggesting a protective role against apoptosis played by Akt in Y79 cells."5.36Paclitaxel and beta-lapachone synergistically induce apoptosis in human retinoblastoma Y79 cells by downregulating the levels of phospho-Akt.
