- A NIR fluorescent probe for fatty acid amide hydrolase bioimaging and its application in development of inhibitors
-
Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is primarily responsible for the inactivation of fatty acid ethanolamide (FAE) and is involved in a variety of biological functions related to diseases of the nervous system. Herein, we developed a highly selective and sensitive FAAH-activated near-infrared fluorescent probe named DAND and achieved the real-time detection and imaging of FAAH activity in complex biosystems. Moreover, a visual high-throughput screening method was established using DAND, piperine was identified as a novel inhibitor of FAAH. Based on the interaction of piperine with FAAH, a more potent FAAH inhibitor (11f) was designed and synthesized which possessed an IC50 value of 0.65 μM. Furthermore, 11f could attenuate the liposaccharide (LPS)-induced activation of BV2 cells, exhibiting an excellent anti-inflammatory activity. These results indicated that DAND could be used as a promising molecular tool for exploring FAAH activity and for rapidly screening potential FAAH inhibitors. In addition, piperine and its derivatives could serve as potential candidate drugs for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in the future.

- Synthesis, in vitro and in silico anti-bacterial analysis of piperine and piperic ester analogues
-
A set of 12 analogues of piperine was designed, replacing the amide functional group of the molecule with different aliphatic and aromatic ester functional groups. Molecular docking studies of these molecules with FDA-approved target proteins for anti-bacterial drugs were done. The binding energy of the proteins and the ligands were low and the analogues were found to be drug-like based on the ADME results; hence, the molecules were synthesized. The synthesized compounds were tested for their anti-bacterial property against six bacterial species via Agar well-diffusion method. Acinetobacter baumannii, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus epidermidis were the strains tested. The overall susceptibility is higher in gram-positive. The analogues showed better activity than piperine. The analogues, propyl piperic ester (P3) and 2-fluorophenyl piperic ester (P9) and 4-fluorophenyl piperic ester (P10) showed comparatively bigger inhibition zones for all the strains.

- The development of novel cytochrome P450 2J2 (CYP2J2) inhibitor and the underlying interaction between inhibitor and CYP2J2
-
Human Cytochrome P450 2J2 (CYP2J2) as an important metabolic enzyme, plays a crucial role in metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Elevated levels of CYP2J2 have been associated with various types of cancer, and therefore it serves as a potential drug target. Herein, using a high-throughput screening approach based on enzymic activity of CYP2J2, we rapidly and effectively identified a novel natural inhibitor (Piperine, 9a) with IC50 value of 0.44 μM from 108 common herbal medicines. Next, a series of its derivatives were designed and synthesised based on the underlying interactions of Piperine with CYP2J2. As expected, the much stronger inhibitors 9k and 9l were developed and their inhibition activities increased about 10 folds than Piperine with the IC50 values of 40 and 50 nM, respectively. Additionally, the inhibition kinetics illustrated the competitive inhibition types of 9k and 9l towards CYP2J2, and K i were calculated to be 0.11 and 0.074 μM, respectively. Furthermore, the detailed interaction mechanism towards CYP2J2 was explicated by docking and molecular dynamics, and our results revealed the residue Thr114 and Thr 315 of CYP2J2 were the critical sites of action, moreover the spatial distance between the carbon atom of ligand methylene and Fe atom of iron porphyrin coenzyme was the vital interaction factor towards human CYP2J2.

- A pyridinium anionic ring-opening reaction applied to the stereodivergent syntheses of: Piperaceae natural products
-
A stereodivergent strategy has been devised to access the diene motif found in biologically active compounds from the Piperaceae family. Herein the first total syntheses of 2E,4E configured piperchabamide E (2) and its enantiomer (ent-2), as well as 2E,4Z configured scutifoliamide B (3), are narrated. The mainstay in the adopted approach is the gram-scale conversion of quaternized pyridine in a practical three-step sequence to access isomerically pure conjugated bromodiene esters 2E,4E8 and 2E,4Z9 by differential crystallization. Even though the developed oxidation protocol forms the basis of the entailed divergent strategy, the geometrical integrity of the involved bromodiene motive can be controlled by the choice of solvent. Thus, while oxidation of pure bromodienal 2E,4Z7 in methanol yields equal amounts of bromodiene esters 2E,4E8 and 2E,4Z9, only bromodiene ester 2E,4Z10 is formed in isopropanol. Subseqently, capitalizing on a stereoretentive Suzuki cross-coupling and direct amidation of the corresponding esters, the featured natural products can be accessed in five and six steps, respectively. The somewhat surprising (R)-configured amine portion, which has been assigned to piperchabamide E (2), is facilitated by a Curtius rearrangement. Following this, the actual amine portion is shown to be (S)-configured. This journal is

- Natural-product-based insecticidal agents 14. Semisynthesis and insecticidal activity of new piperine-based hydrazone derivatives against Mythimna separata Walker in vivo
-
In continuation of our program aimed at the discovery and development of natural-product-based insecticidal agents, twenty-six new piperine-based hydrazone derivatives were synthesized from piperine, an alkaloid isolated from Piper nigrum Linn. The single-crystal structures of 6c, 6q and 6w were unambiguously confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Their insecticidal activity was evaluated against the pre-third-instar larvae of Mythimna separata Walker in vivo. Especially compounds 6b, 6i and 6r, the final mortality rates of which, at the concentration of 1 mg/mL, were 62.1%, 65.5% and 65.5%, respectively, exhibited more pronounced insecticidal activity compared to toosendanin at 1 mg/mL, a commercial botanical insecticide isolated from Melia azedarach. It suggested that introduction of the substituents at the C-2 position on the phenyl ring of the hydrazone derivatives was important for their insecticidal activity.

- Synthesis and inhibitory effect of piperine derivates on monoamine oxidase
-
A series of piperine derivates (1-19) have been designed, synthesized and evaluated in vitro for their monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B inhibitory activity and selectivity. It is worth noting that most of the small amine moieties substituted on the piperidine ring proved to be potent and selective inhibitors of MAO-B rather than of MAO-A. 5-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2E,4E-pentadienoic acid n-propyl amide (3) showed the greatest MAO-B inhibitory activity (IC 50(MAO-B) = 0.045 μM) and good selectivity (IC50(MAO-A) = 3.66 μM). The conjugated double bond and carbonyl group of piperine are proved to be an essential feature for piperine and related alkylamides to exhibit MAO-inhibitory activity. Binding mode of the titled compounds was predicted using FlexX algorithm. The design and optimization of novel small molecule monoamine oxidase inhibitors will be guided by the results of this report.

- Effects of piperine analogues on stimulation of melanocyte proliferation and melanocyte differentiation
-
A wide range of piperine analogues has been synthesised in order to undertake a structure-activity study of their ability to stimulate melanocyte proliferation. Results demonstrate that an aromatic ring containing at least one ether function and a carbonyl group containing side chain is essential for this activity. A number of highly active piperine analogues have been identified, for instance 1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-penta-2E,4E-dienoic acid methyl ester (5a), 1-E,E-piperinoyl-isobutylamine (4f) and 1-(3,4- methylenedioxyphenyl)-pentanoic acid cyclohexyl amide (20). A selection of analogues has also been evaluated for their effect on melanocyte morphology and melanogenesis. The piperine analogues altered cell morphology by increasing dendrite formation leading to bi-, tri- and quadripolar cells. These same analogues were found to increase total melanin in cell cultures, although melanin content per cell was not significantly altered from control in the presence of these compounds.

- Substituent Effects on Carbon-13 NMR Chemical Shifts of Side-chain Carbons in 5-Aryl-2E,4E-pentadienoic Acid Derivatives
-
The 13C NMR spectra of two series of 5-aryl-2E,4E-pentadienoic acid derivatives, viz. the methyl esters and piperidides have been determined.The chemical shifts of C-2 and C-4 show very good correlations with the Hammett ?+-constants for all the substituents investigated, except for the para-nitro group which is capable of excerting a strong -R effect.A possible explanation for this has been advanced.Hammett correlations between substituents and the chemical shifts of both C-3 and C-5 carbons using ?0 parameters are less satisfactory.A reverse chemical shift effect has been observed for these two centres.
