41 Elucidating the altered metabolism of NAD+ in the selective targeting of glioblastoma with the NQO1- activated drug β-lapachone

Objectives/Goals: NAD+ synthesis is enhanced in glioblastoma (GBM) allowing GBM to resist chemotherapy. NQO1 is upregulated in GBM and may be targeted by β-lapachone (β-lap) to induce NAD-depletion and cell death. This project investigates NQO1 as a selective target for GBM and the contributions of...
