General description

Guineensine, also known as Pipyahyine, is an alkaloid and a member of benzodioxoles is a natural product commonly available from Piper Sp.(P. nigrum and P. longum and P. retrofractum) plants. Existing research suggests that this plant-derived metabolite exerts various biological activities, including antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antioxidant properties.

Application

It is a natural product derived from plant source that finds application in compound screening libraries, metabolomics, phytochemical, and pharmaceutical research.

Biochem/physiol Actions

According to the existing research, Guineensine inhibits endocannabinoid uptake, leading to significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, and also interacts with various receptors, including dopamine transporter DAT, 5HT2A, and sigma receptors, suggesting potential polypharmacological activity.

Features and Benefits

  • High quality compound suitable for multiple research applications
  • Compatible with HPLC and mass spectrometry techniques

Guineensine ((2E,4E,12E)-13-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-N-isobutyltrideca-2,4,12-trienamide) is a plant-derived natural product that inhibits reuptake of the endocannabinoid anandamide with sub-micromolar potency. We have established a highly efficient total synthesis of guineensine, which provided the natural product in only five steps from commercially available 3-nonyn-1-ol
