Popis: β-Lapachone (β-Lap) is a promising anticancer drug whose applications have been limited so far because of its poor solubility and stability. Its encapsulation in liposomes has been proposed to overcome these issues. However, surface pressure measurements show that β-Lap exhibits atypical interfacial behavior when mixed with lipids. Although the drug does not seem to be retained in lipid monolayers as deduced from the π
