http://www.britannica.com/ piperine,
an organic compound classed either with the lipid
family (a group consisting of fats and fatlike substances)
or with the alkaloids, a family of nitrogenous compounds
with marked physiological properties. It is one of the
sharp-tasting constituents of the fruit of the pepper
vine (Piper nigrum). Piperine constitutes approximately
5 to 9 percent of commercial black or white pepper.
It was first isolated in 1820, and its chemical constitution
was established by laboratory syntheses in 1882 and
1894. The sharp flavour of freshly ground pepper is
attributed to the compound chavicine, a geometric isomer
(having the same molecular formula but differing in
structure) of piperine. The loss of pungency of ground
pepper on storage is associated with slow transformation
of chavicine into piperine
http://aac.asm.org/ Piperine, the major plant alkaloid present in black pepper (Piper
nigrum) and long pepper (Piper longum), is reported to have
bioavailability-enhancing activity for some nutritional substances and for some
drugs. Piperine has previously
been shown to inhibit several cytochrome P450-mediated pathways and phase II
reactions in animal models. It has also been proven
to be an inhibitor of human P-glycoprotein. In this report, we
describe for the first time the potentiating effect of piperine with
ciprofloxacin in in vitro combination studies against S. aureus and its
suggestive role as an efflux pump inhibitor.
