Tetrahydropiperine

Sinonimi: 1-Piperoylpiperidine, Tetrahydropiperine, THP, (2E,4E)-5-(1,3-Benzodioxol-5-yl)-1-piperidin-1-ylpenta-2,4-dien-1-one, Piperine tetrahydride

Tetrahydropiperine (THP) is a synthetic derivative of piperine, the pungent alkaloid found in black pepper (Piper nigrum). While piperine itself has limited stability and solubility, THP offers improved bioavailability and a milder sensory profile, making it a preferred choice for formulators seeking the bioavailability-enhancing benefits of piperine without its drawbacks.

As a bioavailability enhancer, THP is widely used in dietary supplements to improve the absorption of nutrients such as curcumin, resveratrol, and CoQ10. Its mechanism involves inhibition of intestinal P-glycoprotein and cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are responsible for the efflux and metabolism of many xenobiotics. This results in higher plasma concentrations of co-administered compounds. THP is also explored for its potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, though its primary commercial role remains as an absorption enhancer.
