Piperlongumine is a natural alkaloid compound extracted from Piper longum L., which has multiple pharmacological activities, including anti-tumor, lipid metabolism regulation, anti-platelet aggregation and analgesic activities[1, 2]. Piperlongumine directly binds to and inhibits the antioxidant enzyme glutathione S-transferase Pi 1, leading to increased ROS levels in cancer cells and inducing cell apoptosis, while having no obvious toxicity to normal cells[3].
In vitro, treatment of leukemia U937 cells with Piperlongumine (0-20µM) for 48h inhibited cell proliferation in a time- and dose-dependent manner, induced cell apoptosis, increased the expression of intracellular anti-microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3 (LC3-I), and reduced the intracellular protein kinase B (Akt) level[4]. Piperlongumine (0-20µM) treatment of prostate cancer PC-3 cells, breast cancer MCF-7 cells and renal cancer 786-O cells induced cell autophagy, reduced the phosphorylation levels of intracellular Akt effectors, GSK-3β and TSC2, and led to increased intracellular ROS production[5]. Piperlongumine (0-5µM) treatment of thyroid cancer cell lines (IHH-4, WRO, 8505c and KMH-2 cells) for 24h and 48h inhibited the growth of all cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, significantly reduced colony formation, and induced G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis[6].
In vivo, Piperlongumine (10mg/kg) was treated by intraperitoneal injection in BxPC-3 cell xenograft mice for 24 days, which significantly inhibited tumor growth, reduced microvascular density in pancreatic tumor tissues and induced cell apoptosis, and eliminated the increase in NF-κB activity in pancreatic tumor tissues induced by Gemcitabine[7]. Piperlongumine (50mg/kg/day) was treated orally in aged mice for 8 weeks, which significantly improved the novel object recognition and nesting behavior of aged mice, and increased the levels of calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIα (CaMKIIα) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) in the hippocampus[8].

Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | U937 cells |
Preparation Method | U937 cells (2.5-5.0×104 cells/200µL of RPMI-1640 medium/well) were seeded in 96-well tissue culture plates and incubated with Piperlongumine (0-20µM) for 48h. MTT assay for measuring cell viability. |
Reaction Conditions | 0-20µM; 48h |
Applications | Piperlongumine could suppress the proliferation of U937 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. |
Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Nude BALB/c mice |
Preparation Method | Tumors were established by subcutaneous injection of 5×106 BxPC-3 cells into the flanks of mice. When tumors reached around 100mm3, the mice were randomly assigned to four groups: (i) control (DMSO was dissolved in 200μL PBS, once daily by i.p. injection); (ii) Piperlongumine (10mg/kg, once daily by i.p. injection); (iii) Gemcitabine (100mg/kg, twice weekly by i.p. injection); and (iv) Piperlongumine and Gemcitabine, following the same schedule of individual drugs. The mice were closely monitored for 24 days, then euthanized, and the tumors were removed. Each tumor was divided into two pieces: one fixed in 10% buffered formalin, and the other kept at −80°C for further analysis. |
Dosage form | 10mg/kg/day for 24 days; i.p. |
Applications | Piperlongumine alone can significantly inhibit tumor growth. Piperlongumine combined with Gemcitabine is more effective in reducing tumor burden. |
