In this review, researchers from the University of Macau in China discuss the anticancer potential of plumbagin against diverse cancer cells, the molecular mechanisms underlying its antineoplastic effects, and its pharmaceutical applications. The article was published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine.
The researchers chose to review the research progress of plumbagin both in the pharmacological and pharmaceutical fields because they believe it can provide some reference for further research on plumbagin.
