Biotechnological Approaches for Production of Pharmaceutically Important Compound: Plumbagin.

CONCLUSION: Plumbagin is an important phytocompound which shows potential towards treatments of various diseases. Demand for the production of plumbagin continuously increasing worldwide due to its pharmacological properties. To fulfil commercial demand of plumbagin alternative technologies need to be investigated. Biotechnological approaches like cell suspension culture, root suspension culture and hairy root culture are alternative techniques for plumbagin production. These techniques provide continuous supply of bioactive compounds. However, research on various aspects of tissue culture production techniques is in preparatory stage and requires culture and process optimization for development of a commercially practical process.
