Chemical compound

Piperlongumine (PL) is a natural product constituent of the fruit of the Long pepper (Piper longum), a pepper plant found in southern India and southeast Asia.

Piperlongumine may have anti-cancer properties. It selectively targets and kills cancer cells but leaving normal cells unharmed. "In mice injected with human bladder, breast, lung, or melanoma cancer cells, PL inhibited tumor growth but showed no toxicity in normal mice. In a tougher test of mice that developed breast cancer spontaneously, PL blocked both tumor growth and metastasis."
