Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Two new unsaturated amides were isolated from the total above-ground parts of Piper brachystachyum and were shown to be N-isobutyl-15 (3′,4′-methylenedioxyphenyl) 2E,4E-pentadecadienamide from spectroscopic and chemical investigations.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The secondary metabolites isolated from Piper species for the period 1907 to June 1996 have been reviewed in this paper, where nearly six hundred chemical constituents belonging to different classes of bioactive compounds are listed together with their source(s) and references.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results showed that compounds 4 and 6 exhibited both activities while compounds 1, 2, 5, 8 and 11 showed only antituberculosis activity, the first report of the antituber tuberculosis and antiplasmodial activities for these compounds.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The n-hexane extracts of 19 Piper species, predominantly from China, were screened for their 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) and cyclo oxygengenase-1 (COX-1) inhibitory potential and showed considerable inhibitory activity against at least one of these two key enzymes of the arachidonic acid metabolism.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A principal amide constituent, piperine, dose-dependently inhibited increase in serum GPT and GOT levels at doses of 2.5-10 mg/kg (p.o.) in D-GalN/LPS-treated mice, and this inhibitory effect was suggested to depend on the reduced sensitivity of hepatocytes to TNF-alpha.
