                    Experimental
                    Result(s)
Combination of Zoledronic acid and Plumbagin synergistically suppresses human breast cancer MDA-MB-231SArfp cells in vitro. Plumbagin can inhibit Zoledronic acid-induced activation of the Notch-1 signaling pathway and subsequently reduce the expression of Bcl-2, thus potentiating cancer cell apoptosis.

                    In-vivo Model Subcutaneous injection of 1.0 * 106 UACC 903 or 1205 Lu melanoma cells were injected above both the left and right rib cages of 4-5 week-old female Athymic-Foxn1nu nude mice.
                    Experimental
                    Result(s)
Combination of Celecoxib and Plumbagin decreased melanoma cell proliferation and retarded vascular development of tumors mediated by inhibition of COX-2 and STAT3 leading to decreased levels of key cyclins key on which melanoma cell were dependent for survival.

                    In-vitro Model Klebsiella pneumoniae Microorganism model Klebsiella pneumoniae
                    Experimental
                    Result(s)
Herbal compound plumbagin was identified to stimulate gentamicin uptake by CRKp via enhancing TCA efflux and PMF to achieve a synergistic antibacterial effect. Plumbagin may be used in combination with aminoglycosides for severe CRKp infection by potentiating their therapeutic efficacy and lowering dosage.
