Article Abstract

Piperic acid derivatives were found to affect the islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) aggregation process. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that PAD-13 was an efficient molecular modulator to accelerate IAPP fibril formation by promoting primary and secondary nucleation and reducing its antimicrobial activity.

Background: Medicinal plants are invaluable sources of novel medications worldwide, used for centuries due to their therapeutic properties and health benefits. Comprehensive quality evaluation and monitoring studies are available on single medicinal plant, however, there are limited data on plant-based formulations especially the formulations described in ancient texts.

Objective: Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the phytochemicals present and the identification of active phytocompounds of a traditional Unani plant-based formulation (Zingiber officinalis, Piper longum, Coptis teeta, Piper nigrum, and Foeniculum vulgare) described by distinguished Persian physician of 10th century, Abul-Mansoor ul Hasan Qamari (d.

Landscaping DNA binding potential of piperine derivatives by computational and biophysical methods.

Int J Biol Macromol

January 2025

Department of Molecular Biology, Kannur University, Kannur, Kerala 670661, India. Electronic address:

Piperine, the alkaloid from Black pepper, is known for its wide range of pharmacological effects. The DNA binding activity of piperine was reported earlier. In this work, we explore the DNA duplex binding properties of four piperine derivatives, piperonal, piperonyl alcohol, piperonylic acid, and piperic acid using biophysical and computational techniques.

Article Synopsis
  • Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) is linked to liver disease progression, and the NS5B enzyme is crucial for viral replication.
  • The study investigates how certain phytotherapeutics, particularly arjunolic acid, interact with the NS5B enzyme's catalytic residues, showing promising binding capabilities.
  • Molecular dynamics simulations of arjunolic acid reveal it stabilizes significantly over time, suggesting that it could be a potential therapeutic option for inhibiting HCV replication.

Copper-Catalyzed Decarboxylation Cross-Coupling Cascade Reaction for Synthesis of Fused Dihydro-benzoxazinones.

J Org Chem

June 2024

School of Chemistry and Materials Science, Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Green Synthesis for Functional Materials, Jiangsu Normal University, Xuzhou, Jiangsu 221116, China.

A protocol for a tandem copper-catalyzed intermolecular decarboxylation cross-coupling cascade between -bromobenzoic acids and proline or piperic acid has been disclosed. The developed protocol allows access to a variety of synthetically useful fused benzoxazinones scaffolds with high efficiency and good functional group compatibility. A mechanistically sequential approach for the decarboxylation and dehydration coupling process was presented.
