Synonyms: piplartine
Compound class:
Natural product
Comment: Piperlongumine is a naturally ocurring alkaloid compound that has been isolated from tropical plants of the Piper species. A number of piperlongumine derivatives have been assessed for pharmacological actions with relevance to human diseases [4-5]. The anti-tumour potential of piperlongumine has been widely evaluated. Antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 has been examined, but it has a very weak antiviral effect. Senolytic activity (selective clearance of senescent cells) is under investigation [2-3].[1]
