Biochem Physiol Actions: Pellitorine is an alpha-Glucosidase inhibitor isolated from the roots of Piper Nigrum that exhibit anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Pellitorine is an ACAT (Acyl-CoA cholesteryl acyl transferase) inhibitor that inhibits cholesterol esterification in HepG2 cells. Also pellitorine exhibit potent larvicide activity in mosquito by Inhibition of gene expression encoding V-type H+-ATPase and aquaporine 4. Some new research suggests that anti-adipogenic activity of pellitorine depends on TRPV1.
