Product Description

Piperlongumine (Piplartine) is an naturally occurring and biologically active alkaloid that has been isolated from peppers, particularly long peppers like Piper longum Linn. It has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiangiogenic, antioxidant, antitumor, and anti-diabetic properties. In cancer cell lines, piperlongumine causes the production of ROS and apoptosis. Piperlongumine inhibits myofibroblast transformation by blocking the ERK1/2 signaling pathway and exhibits anti-cardiac fibrosis activity. Ayurvedic medicine, which is used to treat a variety of illnesses, including tumors, uses long pepper as one of its most popular herbs. The pharmacological effects of piplartine have been described as including cytotoxic, genotoxic, antitumor, antiangiogenic, antimetastatic, antiplatelet aggregation, antinociceptive, anxiolytic, antidepressant, anti-atherosclerotic, antidiabetic, antibacterial, antifungal, leishmanicidal, trypanocidal, and schistosomicidal effects. The most promising of piplartine's numerous pharmacological effects is its ability to fight cancer.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
reactive oxygen species (ROS); TrxR1; CRM1; PI3K/Akt/mTOR
ln Vitro
Piperlongumine is a known ROS inducer that has the potential to cause the death of pancreatic cancer cells in culture[1] Platelet aggregation is prevented by piperlongumine, a thromboxane A(2) receptor antagonist. [2] In addition to promoting autophagy and mediating cancer cell death, piperlongumine inhibits Akt/mTOR signalling.[3]
ln Vivo
Piperlongumine (50 mg/kg i.p.) causes tumor cell in vivo growth inhibition without significantly altering biochemical, hematological, or histopathological parameters. [4]
Cell Assay
Various PL concentrations are incubated with MCF-7 and 786-O cells for 48 hours. CellTiter Blue assay is used to analyze cell proliferation. With the help of the Microsoft Excel add-in XLift, effective doses (ED) are calculated.
Animal Protocol
Mice transplanted with sarcoma 180 tumors
~50 mg/kg

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 63~100 mg/mL (198.5~315.1 mM)
Ethanol: ~63 mg/mL (~198.5 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.88 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.88 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

*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

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
