Alkaloids with the piperidine nucleus, such as pelletierine (Punica grana-tum), lobelanine Lobelia inflata) and piperine Piper nigrum), have a typical biosynthesis pathway. It starts with L-lysine and continues via cadaverine (biogenic amine), A -piperideine and A -piperidinium cations and lobelanine, to be synthesized as lobeline. Piperine is synthesized from A -piperideine via piperidine (Figure 49). For the transformation from A -piperideine to A -piperideine cation, the residue from acetyl-CoA is needed, together with SAM activity in the transformation to lobelanine. Piperine is synthesized from piperidine through the formation of amide.

Pepper oil and pepper oleoresin are obtained from the black pepper Piper nigrum L. (Piperaceae). Pepper oil is produced by steam distillation of whole or crushed fruits. The oil is an almost colorless to bluish-green liquid with a characteristic odor, reminiscent of pepper, but without the pungency of the spice. 

A series of structurally similar compounds derived by acetate extension of phenylpropanoid precursors is also found in the Piperaceae. Pipercide from Piper nigrum (Piperaceae) was insecticidal, but the mixture of amides from this plant was significantly more toxic and it appears that co-occurring compounds exert synergistic effects (120).

Piperine Piperine, molecular formula C17H19NO3, a component of black pepper (Piper nigrum), has been used in various traditional medicine preparations, and also as an insecticide. Piperine has various effects on human drug metabolizing enzymes, and is marketed under the brand name, Bioperine , as an adjunct for increasing bioavailability of various dietary supplements, especially curcumin, one of the active ingredients of turmeric (Curcuma longa).

There was some interest in the isobutylamides derived from various plant species including affinin (Figure 3.25) from Heliopsis longipes and pipercide (Figure 3.25) from Piper nigrum. These compounds are potent voltage-dependent blockers of the sodium channel but are too unstable to be used as products directly. 

The word pepper comes from the Indian Sanskrit word pippali, which became the Greek peperi and Latin piper. Piper nigrum is native to southwest India and Sri Lanka, where it has a long history of traditional use. Pepper was traded as a spice and used as a medicinal substance for at least 4,000 years. It was first cultivated in the present Indian state of Kerala, which is located at the southern tip of India along its southwest coast. Pepper was freely traded between... 

White and black pepper are both from the same plant, Piper nigrum. Black pepper is the unripened dried fruit, while white pepper is the natural berry, from which the red hull is removed. Black pepper berries have a round shape and a diameter of 0.25 to 0.5 cm, black to dark brown in colour and shrivelled in appearance. The round berries of white pepper are smooth, and white to grey in appearance.

Commercially available black pepper comes from the entire unripe fruit of a Piper nigrum L. plant and is valued for its pungent taste and aroma. Besides its hot flavor, there are many folk medicine remedies using black pepper. It has antiallergic activity. Piperine strongly inhibits hepatic arylhydrocarbonhydroxylase and UDP-glucuronyl transferase activities. Some proven uses for black pepper extracts are as an insecticide and as a tumor inhibitor. To research claims such as these, it is necessary to isolate the components of pepper.
