Piperlongumine (PL) is a natural product constituent of the fruit of the Long pepper (Piper longum),[1] a pepper plant found in southern India and southeast Asia.
Piperlongumine may have anti-cancer properties. In in vitro experiments, it selectively kills some types cancer cells over normal cells.[1] One study in a xenograft mouse model of cancer showed that piperlongumine inhibits the growth of malignant breast tumors and their associated metastases.[1][2]
