Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the key organelle involved in protein folding and maturation. Emerging studies implicate the role of ER stress in the development of chronic kidney disease. Thus, there is an urgent need for compounds that could ameliorate ER

Piperine amide analogs are synthesized by replacement of the piperidine moiety with different types of cyclic amines, including adamantyl and monoterpene-derived fragments. The compounds are screened for activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. The most potent compounds are the 1-adamantyl and the monoterpene-derived hybrids, which combine nanomolar antimycobacterial activity with low cytotoxicity against human cells. The presence of quaternary carbon atom as main structural requirement for anti-TB activity is pointed out by a QSAR study. The most promising compound is the (+)-isopinocampheylamine-derived amide which is characterized with selectivity index of 1387.8.

A series of piperic acid amides (4-24, 29, 30) were synthesized and their 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities were evaluated. Among the synthesized compounds, the amides 11, 13 and 15, which contain o-methoxyphenol, catechol or 5-hydroxyindole moieties, showed potent DPPH free radical scavenging activity (11: EC50 140 μM; 13: EC50 28 μM; 15: EC50 20 μM). The amides 10, 18 and 23 showed higher inhibitory activity of α-glucosidase (10: IC50 21 μM; 18: IC50 21 μM; 23: IC50 12 μM). These data suggest that the hydrophobicity of the conjugated amines is an important determinant of α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. In addition, the amides 13 and 15 showed both potent DPPH free radical scavenging activity and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (13: IC50 46 μM; 15: IC50 46 μM). This is the first report identifying the DPPH free radical scavenging and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of piperic acid amides and suggests that these amides may serve as lead compounds for the development of novel αglucosidase inhibitors with antioxidant activity.

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.

The natural lipophilic amides piperine and piperiline were isolated from Piper nigrum L (Piperaceae). Piperine was hydrolysed into piperic acid (85% yield) which was converted into 16 amides (28-89% yield). The contact toxicity of all synthetic amides, and also that of piperine and piperiline, at the dose 10 μg per insect, was evaluated for the Brazilian economically important insects Ascia monuste orseis Latr, Acanthoscelides obtectus Say, Brevicoryne brassicae L, Protopolybia exigua DeSaus and Cornitermes cumulans Kollar. The results demonstrated that the insects have different sensivities to the various amides, with mortality ranging from 0 to 97.5% according to the compound and insect species.
