Piperlongumine (also called piplartine or piperlongumin) is an amide alkaloid constituent[1] of the fruit of the long pepper (Piper longum), a pepper plant found in southern India and southeast Asia.[2] When extracted, piperlongumine may cause skin, eye or respiratory tract irritation.[1]
Traditional medicine and research
Long peppers have been used in Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine as a supposed treatment.[2][3] As a constituent of long peppers, piperlongumine has been assessed in laboratory studies to determine its possible biological properties.[2][3]
