Piperlongumine is a naturally derived compound known for its selective cytotoxicity against cancer cells by disrupting their oxidative stress response. In neuroscience, its relevance lies in its ability to modulate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are implicated in neurodegenerative processes. By inhibiting platelet aggregation induced by specific stimuli and sparing normal cells, Piperlongumine offers a potential therapeutic avenue for neuroinflammation and oxidative stress-related neuronal damage. Its antioxidant modulation may contribute to neuroprotection in disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
