Due to the limited options for topical management of skin cancer, this study aimed at developing and evaluating nanoemulsions (NE) for cutaneous delivery of the cytotoxic agent piplartine (piperlongumine). NEs were modified with chitosan or sodium alginate, and the effects on the physicochemical
Piplartine (PL) is an alkaloid found in black-pepper and known for its anticancer activity, however, due to poor solubility and lack of proper formulation, its use for oral administration is a challenge. The objective of this study was to formulate PL into nanoemulsion drug delivery system for oral
The present study examined the anti-proliferative effects of piplartine on the human prostate cancer cell line PC-3. This is the first report demonstrating the piplartine anti-cancer activity toward prostate cancer cell lines, although its precise mechanism of action is still not completely defined.
Piplartine (piperlongumine) is a plant-derived molecule that has been receiving intense interest due to its anticancer characteristics that target the oxidative stress. In the present paper, two novel piplartine-containing ruthenium complexes [Ru(piplartine)(dppf)(bipy)](PF6)2 (1) and
Piperlongumine (piplartine, 1) is a small molecule alkaloid that is receiving intense interest due to its antiproliferative and anticancer activities. We investigated the effects of 1 on tubulin and microtubules. Using both an isolated tubulin assay, and a combination of sedimentation and western
This study reports the development of a simple and reproducible method, with high rates of recovery, to extract the cytotoxic agent piplartine from skin layers, and a sensitive and rapid UV-HPLC method for its quantification. Considering the potential of piplartine for topical treatment of skin
Piper tuberculatum, popularly known in Brazil as "jaborandi falso" and "pimenta darta", is widely used in folk medicine for the treatment of several diseases. In this study, the in vivo hollow fiber assay was used to investigate the antitumour efficacy of the crude extract and piplartine obtained
Piplartine (1) is an alkamide extracted from plants of the genus Piper which shows several pharmacological properties, including antitumor activity. To improve this activity, a series of analogues based on 1 have been synthesized by esterification and amidation using the 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic
Natural compound based anticancer drug discovery is gaining interest against a wide variety of tumors. E-piplartine (trans-piplartine), a natural compound isolated from Piper chaba roots is examined against rat histiocytoma (BC-8), mouse embryonal carcinoma (PCC4), mouse macrophages (P388D1 and
Research in the field of medicinal plants including Piper species like long pepper (Piper longum L.- Piperaceae) is increasing all over the world due to its use in traditional and Ayurvedic medicine. Piplartine (piperlongumine,
The genus Piper belongs to the Piperaceae family, and includes species of commercial and medicinal importance. Chemical studies on Piper species resulted in the isolation of several biologically active molecules, including alkaloid amides, such as piplartine. This molecule, isolated from Piper
Piplartine {5,6-dihydro-1-[1-oxo-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-2-propenyl]-2(1H)pyridinone} and piperine {1-5-(1,3)-benzodioxol-5-yl)-1-oxo-2,4-pentadienyl]piperidine} are alkaloid amides isolated from Piper. Both have been reported to show cytotoxic activity towards several tumor cell lines. In the
Tumor cells need to attain anoikis resistance to survive prior to metastasis making it a vital trait of malignancy. The mechanism by which pancreatic cancer cells resist anoikis and metastasize is not well established. Significant proportion of pancreatic cancer cells resisted anoikis when grown
A series of piplartine derivatives were synthesized via Baylis-Hillman reaction and evaluated for anticancer and antibacterial activities. The cytotoxicity of these compounds was examined in two different human tumor cell lines, IMR-32 and HeLa. The antibacterial activity was examined in
Although piplartine is regarded as an anticancer agent, the relationship between long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are involved in various diseases (e.g., tumors) and piplartine in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. We identified LINC01391 using microarray analysis and validated its
