Electron transport and respiratory pathways are active in both latent and rapidly growing mycobacteria and remain conserved in all mycobacterial species. In mycobacteria, menaquinone is the sole electron carrier responsible for electron transport. Menaquinone biosynthesis pathway is found to be essential for the growth of mycobacteria. Structural analogs of the substrate or product of this pathway are found to be inhibitory for the growth of Mycobacterium smegmatis and M. tuberculosis. Several plumbagin [5‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl‐1, 4‐naphthaquinone] derivatives have been analyzed for their inhibitory effects of which butyrate plumbagin was found to be most effective on M. smegmatis mc2155, whereas crotonate plumbagin showed greater activity on M. tuberculosis H37Rv. Effect on electron transport and respiration was demonstrated by butyrate plumbagin inhibiting oxygen consumption in M. smegmatis. Structural modifications of these molecules can further be improved upon to generate new molecules against mycobacteria.

Derivatives of plumbagin can be selectively cytotoxic to breast cancer cells. Derivative ‘A’ (Acetyl Plumbagin) has emerged as a lead molecule for testing against estrogen positive breast cancer and has shown low hepatotoxicity as well as overall lower toxicity in nude mice model. The toxicity of derivative ‘A’ was determined to be even lower than vehicle control (ALT and AST markers). The possible mechanism of action identified based on the microarray experiments and pathway mapping shows that derivative ‘A’ could be acting by altering the cholesterol-related mechanisms. The low toxicity profile of derivative ‘A’ highlights its possible role'as future anti-cancer drug and/or as an adjuvant drug to reduce the toxicity of highly toxic chemotherapeutic'drugs.
