β-Lapachone is a drug candidate in phase II clinical trials for treatment of solid tumors. The therapeutic efficacy of β-lapachone is closely related to its metabolism, since this o-naphthoquinone produces cytotoxic effect after intracellular bioreduction by reactive oxygen species formation.

Lapachol is a 1,4-naphthoquinone that is isolated from the Bignoniaceae family. It has been reported to exert anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anticancer activities. However, the anticancer activity of lapachol and its molecular mechanisms against esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells have

Complex [Bi(Lp)(2)]Cl was obtained with 4-hydroxy-3-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)naphthalene-1,2-dione, "lapachol" (HLp). Lapachol, [Bi(Lp)(2)]Cl and BiCl(3) were evaluated in a murine model of inflammatory angiogenesis induced by subcutaneous implantation of polyether polyurethane sponge discs. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of lapachol or [Bi(Lp)(2)]Cl reduced the hemoglobin
