β‐Lap prodrug micelle strategy improves the formulation properties of β‐lap therapeutics. The resulting micelles yield apparent high β‐lap solubility (>7 mg mL −1 ), physical stability, and ability to reconstitute after lyophilization. In the presence of esterase, β‐lap prodrugs are efficiently converted into parent drug (i.e., β‐lap), resulting in NQO1‐dependent lethality of NSCLC cells.
