Plumbagin or 5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone is an organic compound with the chemical formula C
11H
8O
3. It is regarded as a toxin[1] and it is genotoxic[2] and mutagenic.[3]
Plumbagin is a yellow dye,[1] formally derived from naphthoquinone.
It is named after the plant genus Plumbago, from which it was originally isolated.[4] It is also commonly found in the carnivorous plant genera Drosera and Nepenthes.[5][6] It is also a component of the black walnut drupe (Juglans nigra).
Pharmacologic properties
The following properties were described in various cellular and animal models:
- antimicrobial,[7][8]
- antimalarial,[9]
- anti-inflammatory,[10]
- anticarcinogenic,[11][12][13]
- cardiotonic,[14]
- immunosuppressive,[15]
- antifertility action,[16]
- neuroprotective,[17]
- anti-atherosclerosis effects.[18]
- Plumbagin has been shown to induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in numerous cancer cell lines including melanoma, lung, breast and others.[citation needed] It triggers autophagy via inhibition of the Akt/mTOR pathway and induces G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in A549 cells through JNK-dependent p53 Ser15 phosphorylation. Promotes autophagic cell death in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells and inhibits Akt/mTOR signaling. Induces intracellular ROS generation in a PI 5-kinase-dependent manner.
