Piperlongumine Powder | High Purity (98%+) | CAS 20069-09-4 | For Research Use
Product Overview
Piperlongumine (Piplartine), a bioactive alkaloid derived from the Piper longum plant, is a natural compound with selective anticancer properties. It effectively induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cancer cells, leading to apoptosis without harming normal cells, making it a promising candidate for oncology research .
Key Features
- Purity: ≥98% (HPLC verified)
- CAS Number: 20069-09-4
- Molecular Formula: C₁₇H₁₉NO₅
- Molecular Weight: 317.34 g/mol
- Appearance: White to off-white powder
- Solubility: Insoluble in water; soluble in DMSO (≥10.45 mg/mL), ethanol, and other organic solvents
- Storage: Store at -20°C in a dry, dark environment. Stable for 3 years .
Mechanism of Action
Piperlongumine selectively targets cancer cells through multiple pathways:
- ROS Induction: Elevates intracellular ROS levels, triggering oxidative stress and apoptosis in cancer cells .
- GSTP1 Inhibition: Suppresses glutathione S-transferase Pi 1 (GSTP1), disrupting redox balance in malignant cells .
- STAT3 Pathway Suppression: Inhibits STAT3 signaling, reducing tumor proliferation and survival .
- Thioredoxin Reductase (TrxR1) Inhibition: Irreversibly targets selenocysteine residues, enhancing chemosensitivity .
Research Applications
- Cancer Therapeutics:
- Induces apoptosis in breast, prostate, and myeloma cell lines (IC₅₀: 1–5 μM) .
- Synergizes with chemotherapy agents (e.g., doxorubicin, cisplatin) to overcome drug resistance .
- Signal Pathway Studies:
- Modulates NF-κB, MAPK, and JAK/STAT3 pathways .
- Neuroprotection & Aging:
- Supports neuronal health and mitigates oxidative stress in age-related models .
- Cardiovascular Research:
- Inhibits atherosclerosis by suppressing vascular smooth muscle proliferation .
