Piperlongumine (also called Piplartine), an alkaloid from long pepper fruit -Piperlongumine is a bioactive alkaloid derived from the long pepper (Piper longum) – Piperlongumine has been shown to selectively increase ROS levels in cancer cells. -NLRP3 inhibitor? -TrxR inhibitor (major antioxidant system) to increase ROS in cancer cells -ic50 cancer cells maybe 2-10uM, normal cells maybe exceeding 20uM. Available from mcsformulas.com -(Long Pepper, 500mg/Capsule)- 1 capsule 3 times daily with food -Piperlongumine Pro Liposomal, 40 mg-take 1 capsule daily with plenty of water, after a meal -Note half-life 30–60 minutes BioAv poor aqueous solubility and bioavailability Pathways: - induce ROS production in cancer cells likely at any dose. Effect on normal cells is inconclusive. - ROS↑ related: MMP↓(ΔΨm), ER Stress↑, UPR↑, Cyt‑c↑, Caspases↑, DNA damage↑, cl-PARP↑, Prx, - Lowers some AntiOxidant markers/ defense in Cancer Cells: but mostly raises NRF2 (raises antiO defense), TrxR↓(*important), GSH↓ Catalase↓ HO1↓ GPx↓ - Very little indication of raising AntiOxidant defense in Normal Cells: GSH↑, - lowers Inflammation : NF-kB↓, COX2↓, conversely p38↑, Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines : NLRP3↓, IL-1β↓, TNF-α↓, IL-6↓, IL-8↓ - inhibit Growth/Metastases : TumMeta↓, TumCG↓, EMT↓, MMP2↓, MMP9↓, VEGF↓, NF-κB↓, CXCR4↓, ERK↓ - reactivate genes thereby inhibiting cancer cell growth : HDAC↓(few reports), DNMT1↓, DNMT3A↓, EZH2↓, P53↑, HSP↓, Sp proteins↓, - cause Cell cycle arrest : TumCCA↑, cyclin D1↓, CDK2↓, CDK4↓, CDK6↓, - inhibits Migration/Invasion : TumCMig↓, TumCI↓, ERK↓, EMT↓, - small indication of inhibiting glycolysis : HIF-1α↓, cMyc↓, LDH↓, HK2↓, - inhibits angiogenesis↓ : VEGF↓, HIF-1α↓, EGFR↓, - Others: PI3K↓, AKT↓, JAK↓, STAT↓, β-catenin↓, ERK↓, JNK, - Synergies: chemo-sensitization, RadioSensitizer, Others(review target notes), Neuroprotective, Cognitive, Hepatoprotective, CardioProtective, - Selectivity: Cancer Cells vs Normal Cells |

TP53 is the most commonly mutated gene in human cancer. TP53 is a gene that encodes for the p53 tumor suppressor protein ; TP73 (Chr.1p36.33) and TP63 (Chr.3q28) genes that encode transcription factors p73 and p63, respectively, are TP53 homologous structures. p53 is a crucial tumor suppressor protein that plays a significant role in regulating the cell cycle, maintaining genomic stability, and preventing tumor formation. It is often referred to as the "guardian of the genome" due to its role in protecting cells from DNA damage and stress. TP53 gene, which encodes the p53 protein, is one of the most frequently mutated genes in human cancers. Overexpression of MDM2, an inhibitor of p53, can lead to decreased p53 activity even in the presence of wild-type p53. In some cancers, particularly those with mutant p53, there may be an overexpression of the p53 protein. Cancers with overexpression: Breast, lung, colorectal, overian, head and neck, Esophageal, bladder, pancreatic, and liver. |
