Plumbagin
Plumbagin, also known as 5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone or 2-methyljuglone, is a member of the class of compounds known as naphthoquinones. Naphthoquinones are compounds containing a naphthohydroquinone moiety, which consists of a benzene ring linearly fused to a bezene-1,4-dione (quinone). Plumbagin is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Plumbagin can be found in black walnut, common walnut, japanese persimmon, and persimmon, which makes plumbagin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Plumbagin is named after the plant genus Plumbago, from which it was originally isolated. It is also commonly found in the carnivorous plant genera Drosera and Nepenthes. It is also a component of the black walnut drupe .

Plumbagin
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. Plumbagin is a compound investigated for its anticancer activity. It has been found that it inactivates the Akt/NF-kB, MMP-9 and VEGF pathways. Plumbagin is a natural product found in Drosera slackii, Diospyros hebecarpa, and other organisms with data available. Synthetic Plumbagin PCUR-101 is a synthetic form of the plant-derived medicinal agent, plumbagin, with potential antineoplastic activity. Plumbagin may act by inhibiting the expression of protein kinase C epsilon (PKCe), signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 phosphorylation (Stat3), protein kinase B (AKT), and certain epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers, including vimentin and slug. This results in possible inhibition of proliferation in susceptible tumor cells. PKCe, Stat3, AKT, and the EMT markers vimentin and slug have been linked to the induction and progression of prostate cancer.
