Bioenhancers can be defined as chemical entities, which when mixed with drugs promote and augment their bioavailability without showing any synergistic effect with the drug. The factors like toxicity, cost, poor bioavailability and long term administration of drugs give rise to the need of bioenhancers which help overcome most of these problems. Piper species produce a pungent alkaloid named Piperine or 1-peperoyl piperidine. Piperine increases permeability at the site of absorption by…

Enhancing the bioavailability of resveratrol by combining it with piperine.

TLDR
Piperine significantly improves the in vivo bioavailability of resveratrol through inhibiting its glucuronidation, thereby slowing its elimination and further detailed research is needed to study the mechanism of improved bioavailability via its combination with piperine.
