Biological Activity

Description Piperlongumine (PPLGM, Piplartine), a natural alkaloid from Piper longum L., increases the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and selectively kills cancer cells. It is a direct TrxR1 inhibitor with suppressive activity against gastric cancer and a novel inhibitor of CRM1; also an inhibitor of PI3K/Akt/mTOR in human breast cancer cells.
Targets
reactive oxygen species (ROS) [1] TrxR1 [5] CRM1 [6] PI3K/Akt/mTOR [7]
In vitro Piperlongumine is a known ROS inducer which could induce pancreatic cancer cell death in cell culture[1] As a thromboxane A(2) receptor antagonist, Piperlongumine inhibits platelet aggregation. [2] Piperlongumine also promotes autophagy via inhibition of Akt/mTOR signalling and mediates cancer cell death. [3]
In vivo Piperlongumine (50 mg/kg i.p.) causes in vivo growth inhibition of tumor cells without leading to major changes in the biochemical, hematological and histopathological parameters. [4]

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:

[3]
  • Cell lines

    MCF-7 and 786-O cells

  • Concentrations

    ~10 μM

  • Incubation Time

    48 hours

  • Method

    MCF-7 and 786-O cells are incubated with various PL concentrations for 48h. Cell proliferation is analysed by CellTiter Blue assay. Effective doses (ED) are calculated using XLift, Microsoft Excel add-in.
Animal Study:

[4]
  • Animal Models

    Mice transplanted with sarcoma 180 tumors

  • Dosages

    ~50 mg/kg

  • Administration

    i.p.
