Description

Plumbagin (2-Methyljuglone) is a naphthoquinone isolated from Plumbago zeylanica L, exhibits anticancer and antiproliferative activities[1].


Plumbagin is a hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone that is 1,4-naphthoquinone in which the hydrogens at positions 2 and 5 are substituted by methyl and hydroxy groups, respectively. It has a role as a metabolite, an immunological adjuvant, an anticoagulant and an antineoplastic agent. It is a member of phenols and a hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone.

Drug Information

Agents obtained from higher plants that have demonstrable cytostatic or antineoplastic activity. (See all compounds classified as Antineoplastic Agents, Phytogenic.)|Agents that prevent BLOOD CLOTTING. (See all compounds classified as Anticoagulants.)|Agents that have a strengthening effect on the heart or that can increase cardiac output. They may be CARDIAC GLYCOSIDES; SYMPATHOMIMETICS; or other drugs. They are used after MYOCARDIAL INFARCT; CARDIAC SURGICAL PROCEDURES; in SHOCK; or in congestive heart failure (HEART FAILURE). (See all compounds classified as Cardiotonic Agents.)|Substances used in the treatment or control of nematode infestations. They are used also in veterinary practice. (See all compounds classified as Antinematodal Agents.)|Chemical substances that prevent or reduce the probability of CONCEPTION. (See all compounds classified as Contraceptive Agents.)|Substances that augment, stimulate, activate, potentiate, or modulate the immune response at either the cellular or humoral level. The classical agents (Freund's adjuvant, BCG, Corynebacterium parvum, et al.) contain bacterial antigens. Some are endogenous (e.g., histamine, interferon, transfer factor, tuftsin, interleukin-1). Their mode of action is either non-specific, resulting in increased immune responsiveness to a wide variety of antigens, or antigen-specific, i.e., affecting a restricted type of immune response to a narrow group of antigens. The therapeutic efficacy of many biological response modifiers is related to their antigen-specific immunoadjuvanticity. (See all compounds classified as Adjuvants, Immunologic.)
