The n-hexane extracts of 19 Piper species, predominantly from China, were screened for their 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) and cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) inhibitory potential. Many of them showed considerable inhibitory activity against at least one of these two key enzymes of the arachidonic acid metabolism, especially against COX-1. The best results in inhibiting the formation of leukotrienes were obtained with the extract of Piper kadsura. In the terms of prostaglandin synthesis inhibition, the extract of Piper boehmerlifolium var. tonkinense was found to have the strongest activity. Furthermore, an analytical investigation by means of TLC, HPLC-DAD and GC-MS resulted in the identification of 20 constituents. Most of them were amides with an interesting variety of amine moieties. Among them were pellitorine, and four higher homologues, piperlonguminine, dihydropiperlonguminine, futoamide, chingchengenamide, the retrofractamides A, B and D, guineensine, brachystamide B, piperanine, piperine, piperdardine, sarmentine, pipataline and benzylbenzoate. In 96 cases, these constituents were new for the particular plant. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
