Plumbagin (5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone) is a naturally occurring naphthoquinone derivative.

–Plumbagin can undergo redox cycling to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS)
-apototosis, activation of caspases, modulation of Bax, Bcl‑2, loss of MMP.
-Cell cycle arrest in cancer cells, often at the G0/G1, or G2/M phases.
-May inhibit NF‑κB activation
– MAPK Pathways
– PI3K/Akt Pathway
-Downregulation of (VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs).

-Seems capable of raising ROS in normal and cancer cells (#2004)

-ic50 cancer cells 1-10uM, normal cells >10uM
