Generation of superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide from beta-lapachone in bacteria

F S Cruz et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1978 Oct.

Abstract

beta-Lapachone markedly increased the generation of superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide by subcellular membranes of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus stearothermophilus. Peroxide generation by beta-lapachone was parallel to the inhibition of growth in both microorganisms.
