Piperolactam A is a tetracyclic alkaloid found in many plants but first isolated from the roots of Piper longum (long pepper). As a group, such compounds are called aristolactams, and are related to the aristolochic acid found in European birthwort.

History

Piperolactam A was first reported in 1988 after isolation from an extract of Piper longum. Many closely related natural product alkaloids are known including aristolochic acid and its lactam derivatives. In some reports, piperolactam A is called aristolactam FI.

Synthesis

Biosynthesis

It has been suggested that piperolactam A and related compounds are biosynthesised from aporphine class precursors.

Chemical synthesis

Aristolactams including piperolactam A have been the subject of total synthesis studies, which have been reviewed.

Natural occurrence

Piperolactam A and related compounds are found in Aristolochiaceae (birthwort), Annonaceae (custard apple), Piperaceae (pepper), and Saururaceae plant families.
