Development of tumor-specific therapies for the treatment of recalcitrant non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) is urgently needed. Here, we investigated the ability of β-lapachone (β-lap, ARQ761 in clinical form) to selectively potentiate the effects of ionizing radiation (IR, 1-3 Gy) in NSCLCs that overexpress NAD(P)H:Quinone Oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1).
