Piperlongumine inhibits antioxidant enzymes, increases ROS levels, induces DNA damage and G2/M cell cycle arrest in breast cell lines.

Piperlongumine (PLN) shows potential as an anticancer agent. It increases ROS levels and DNA damage, inhibits antioxidant enzymes, and induces genotoxicity. It inhibits DDR proteins, leading to cell death in non-tumor cells and reduced cell viability in breast cancer cells.
