The EtOAc-soluble fraction of the water extract of Piper cubeba, having shown potent inhibitory activity on the metabolism mediated by CYP3A4, was subjected to activity-guided isolation to yield two new lignans, (8R,8'R)-4-hydroxycubebinone (1) and (8R,8'R,9'S)-5-methoxyclusin (2), and two new
Piper cubeba L. f. is a food seasoning, which contains secondary metabolites displaying several biological properties, such as cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, and antiparasitic activities. The lignans (+)-dihydroclusin, (-)-clusin, (-)-cubebin, (-)-yatein, and (-)-haplomyrfolin were isolated, with
Five methylenedioxyphenyl lignans, (-)-clusin (1), (-)-dihydroclusin (2), (-)-yatein (3), (-)-hinokinin (4), and (-)-dihydrocubebin (5), were isolated from Piper cubeba as potent and selective inhibitors against cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). In this study, we investigated the mechanism of inhibition
