History and Uses:
Piperine is the alkaloid responsible for the pungency of black
pepper along with chavicine (an isomer of piperine). Piperine is an
alkaloid found naturally in plants belonging to the Piperaceae
family, such as Piper nigrum L, commonly known as black pepper, and
Piper longum L, commonly known as long pepper.
Piperine is the major pungent substance in these plants and is
isolated from the fruit of the black pepper and long pepper plants.
Piperine comprises 1 to 99% of these plants. The term black pepper
is used both for the plant Piper nigrum and the spice that is
mainly in the fruit of the plant. Piperine is a solid substance
essentially insoluble in water.
It is a weak base that is tasteless at first, but leaves a burning
aftertaste. Piperine belongs to the vanilloid family of compounds,
a family that also includes capsaicin, the pungent substance in hot
chili peppers. Its molecular formula is C17H19NO3, and its
molecular weight is 285.34 daltons. Piperine is the trans-trans
stereoisomer of 1-piperoylpiperidine.
It is also known as (E, E)-1-piperoylpiperidine and (E, E)-1-[5-(1,
3-benzodioxol-5-y1)-1-oxo-2, 4-pentdienyl] piperidine. It is
represented by the following chemical structure: Black pepper and
long pepper have been used in Ayurvedic medicine for the treatment
of various diseases. One such preparation is known by the Sanskrit
name trikatu and consists of black pepper, long pepper and ginger.
Another preparation, known by the Sanskrit name pippali, consists
of long pepper. It is thought that piperine is one of the major
bioactive substances of these Ayurvedic yuremedies. Black pepper
has also been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat seizure
disorders. A derivative of piperine, antiepilepsirine, has also
been used in China to treat seizure disorders.
Some recent research suggests that piperine may enhance the
bioavailability of some drugs and nutritional substances.
