Description of Plumbagin

IC50: 11.69 μM for A549 cells

Plumbagin, a quinonoid constituent isolated from the root of Plumbago zeylanica L., has been shown to exert anticarcinogenic, antiatherosclerotic, and antimicrobial effects.

In vitro: Plumbagin exhibited effective cell growth inhibition via inducing cancer cells to undergo G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis. Blockade of cell cycle was associated with increased levels of p21 and reduced amounts of Cdc2, Cdc25C and cyclinB1. Plumbagin treatment also found to enhance the levels of inactivated phosphorylated Cdc2 and Cdc25C. Blockade of p53 activity partially decreased plumbagin-induced apoptosis and G2/M arrest, indicating it might be operated by p53-dependent and independent pathway [1].

In vivo: To determine whether plumbagin inhibited the in vivo tumor growth, A549 cells were injected into nude mice. Tumor growth inhibition was most evident in mice treated with plumbagin at 2 mg/kg/day, where around 80% reductions in tumor size were observed, in contrast with mice treated with the vehicle. No sign of toxicity was observed in plumbagin-treated mice as judged by monitoring body weight [1].

Clinical trial: N/A

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL saline, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
