Product Description

Piperine (1-Piperoylpiperidine; Bioperine; 1-Piperoyl piperidine), a natural alkaloid found in Piper nigrum L, is an alkaloid accounting for the pungency of black pepper and long pepper, which has been used in some forms of traditional medicine and as an insecticide. It inhibits P-glycoprotein and CYP3A4 activities with an IC50 value of 61.94±0.054 μg/mL in HeLa cell.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
It has been demonstrated in vitro and in silico investigations that piperine possesses cytotoxic action. The value of IC50 is 61.94 μg/mL. Based on computational analyses, it possesses the greatest number of hydrogen bonds, the lowest binding and docking energy, and is potentially an inhibitor of EGFR tyrosine kinase [1]. It has been discovered that piperine possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-asthmatic, anti-ulcer, and anti-amoebic qualities [2]. By reducing CYP3A and P-glycoprotein activity, piperine can enhance the bioavailability of various medications, including paclitaxel, docetaxel, and rosuvastatin (DOX) [3].
ln Vivo
Piperine has a 25.36% bioavailability at a dose of 3.5 mg/kg. Piperine has a disproportionate dose-dependent increase in its AUC0→t, suggesting the possibility of nonlinear pharmacokinetic properties. After combination use, it was discovered that the t1/2 of piperine and the AUC0→t and C0 of docetaxel were dramatically elevated. The data indicates that concomitant administration enhances both the bioavailability of docetaxel and piperine, potentially contributing to a greater overall improvement in pharmacological effects [3]. Piperine exhibits a dose-dependent inhibition of the phosphorylation of I-κB, p65, p38, ERK, and JNK, indicating its potential as an anti-inflammatory medication for endometritis and other Staphylococcus aureus-related illnesses [4].
Animal Protocol
Mice 15.1mg/kg (i.v.), 43mg/kg (i.p.), 200mg/kg (s.c.), 330mg/kg (i.g.); Rats 33.5mg/kg (i.p.), 514mg/kg (i.g.)

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
