beta-lapachone and Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy

beta-lapachone has been researched along with Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy in 1 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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The aim of the study was to determine whether the topoisomerase I inhibitors, camptothecin and beta-lapachone, are suitable agents for the adjuvant pharmacotherapy of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR)."3.70The topoisomerase I inhibitors, camptothecin and beta-lapachone, induce apoptosis of human retinal pigment epithelial cells.
