Piper majusculum Blume

국표에 없다.

Genus Piper is largely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of the world [1]. Most of the species are fast-growing aromatic shrubs or vines with distinctive swollen nodes and drooping spikes, frequently found in the understory and secondary vegetation of tropical forest canopy of the Americas and Asia [2]. For years, the chemistry of the Piper species has been widely investigated, and phytochemical studies have resulted in the isolation of numerous biologically active compounds such as alkaloids, lignans, neolignans, terpenes, steroids, kawapyrones, piperolides, and flavanoids [3]. Members of the Piper genus are of commercial, economical and medicinal importance. Piper species are important medicinal plants used in Chinese medicine, in the Indian ayurvedic system and in folk medicine practices of Latin America and West Indies [4]. They are applied to treat asthma, bronchitis, fever, hemorrhoidal afflictions, gastrointestinal diseases, and rheumatism [5], and the preparations obtained from these plants have shown anti-inflammatory, insecticidal, anti-hypertensive, antidiabetics, immunomodulatory and antimutagenic effects [6]. P. majusculum Ridl., is known as ‘sirih hutan’ (Malaysia and Indonesia) and collected from Bungus, Teluk Kabung, Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Phytochemical studies have been done on the extracts of P. majusculum and successfully isolated 2-(5′-methoxy-3′,4′-methylenedioxyphenyl)-6-(4′′-hydroxy-3′′,5′′- dimethoxyphenyl)-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3,3,0]octane, oleic acid, β-sitosterol, and mixture of three sterols [7]. Previous study on various extracts of P. majusculum also revealed strong inhibition on anti-inflammatory activity by TPA-induced mouse ear oedema model, ranging from 68.39-85.29%, comparable to indomethacin, 85.50%. In the TPA-induced mouse ear edema model, the extracts of P. majusculum act as an inhibitor of either protein kinase C or phospholipase A2 [7]. On the other hand, lipoxygenase is involved in AA metabolism, generating various biologically active leukotrienes that play an important role in inflammation [8]. To the best of our knowledge, there is no report found on the chemical composition of the essential oil of P. majusculum.
