Piper cubeba seed extract

Studies have demonstrated that Piper cubeba produces a significant nephroprotective effect in both pre-treated and post-treated groups of gentamycin-induced nephrotoxicity. Cubebin as well as its derivatives containing lactone and amide groups showed significant anticancer activity. In some of the tested cell lines, the amide derivatives showed higher activity. Morphological analysis indicated that these compounds act through apoptosis mediated pathway of cell death.
