Clear solution
5%DMSO 40%PEG300 5%Tween80 50%ddH2O
6.0mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 120 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL of Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify; then continue to add 500 μL of ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Piperine (1-Piperoylpiperidine) is the alkaloid responsible for the pungency of black pepper and long pepper, which has also been used in some forms of traditional medicine and as an insecticide.
Targets
CYP3A4 [1]
In vitro Piperine (1-Piperoylpiperidine) is the alkaloid responsible for the pungency of black pepper and long pepper, along with chavicine (an isomer of piperine). It has also been used in some forms of traditional medicine and as an insecticide. Piperine has been found to inhibit human CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein, enzymes important for the metabolism and transport of xenobiotics and metabolites. [1] Piperine is found to be cytotoxic towards DLA and EAC cells at a concentration of 250 μ g/ml. Piperine (1.14 mg/dose/animal) could inhibit the solid tumor development in mice induced with DLA cells and increase the life span of mice bearing Ehrlich ascites carcinoma tumor. [2]
In vivo LD50: Mice 15.1mg/kg (i.v.), 43mg/kg (i.p.), 200mg/kg (s.c.), 330mg/kg (i.g.); Rats 33.5mg/kg (i.p.), 514mg/kg (i.g.) [3]
