General description
Plumbagin is a bioactive naphthoquinone present majorly in Plumbago indica L. It is a quinoid and is also derived from the roots of Plumbago zeylanica roots.
Application
Plumbagin from Plumbago indica has been used:
- as a reactive oxygen species agent (ROS) to induce cytotoxicity in mouse embryonic fibroblasts
- as an oxidative stress inducer to generate superoxide anion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
- as a reference standard in thin layer chromatography and in spectrophotometric analysis for quantification of plumbagin in Plumbago auriculate samples
Biochem/physiol Actions
Plumbagin exhibits various pharmacological activities including antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-atherosclerotic, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, and neuroprotective activities. It inhibits the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling and halts the proliferation of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Plumbagin elicits protective antioxidative functionality in 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (NQNO) induced stress in lymphoma. Plumbagin in a nanoemulsion formulation has antiproliferative effect towards prostate cancer.
Exhibits cytotoxicity in rodent models of carcinogenesis and carcinoma; has antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial action.

Like cancer, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterised by a pro-proliferative and anti-apoptotic phenotype. In PAH, pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) proliferation is enhanced and apoptosis suppressed. The sustainability of this phenotype requires the activation of pro-survival transcription factors
