ABSTRACT: vitiligo also known as leukoueima is a pigmentation uisoiuei in which melanocytes (the cells that make pigment) in the skin aie
uestioyeu. As a iesult, white patches appeai on the skin on uiffeient paits of the bouy which affects even the psychology anu social status of the
patient. In iecent yeais, it has been pioveu that Pipeiine, an alkaloiu fiom black peppei has the iepigmenting capacity. 0se of Pipeiine in vitiligo not
only ieuuces 0v Rauiation but also pievents siue effects. The piesent woik is about the extiaction of Pipeiine fiom Black Peppei anu its evaluation
followeu by foimulation anu evaluation of cieam.
Keywords: vitiligo, Leukoueima, Pigmentation, Nelanocytes, 0v Rauiation.
INTRODUCTION
vitiligo is a pigmentation uisoiuei in which melanocytes (the cells
that make pigment) in the skin aie uestioyeu.
1
As a iesult, white
patches appeai on the skin on uiffeient paits of the bouy. Similai
patches also appeai on both the mucous membianes (tissues that
line the insiue of the mouth anu nose), anu the ietina (innei layei of
the eyeball). The haii that giows on aieas affecteu by vitiligo
sometimes tuins white. vitiligo is not a fatal uisease, but it is
chionic anu piogiessive. The most impoitant consequence of the
uisease is piobably social anu psychological, as people may feel
uevastateu by theii changeu appeaiance.

Theie aie many tieatments available foi vitiligo but has some siue
effects like Cushings synuiome, Skin Cancei , uI uisoiueis etc.
Pipeiine is useu as anti vitiligo agent by ieuucing the effects of 0v
iauiation anu also in avoiuing siue effects.

Pipeiine is extiacteu anu isolateu fiom Black peppei by two

AcomparativeextractionofPiperineanditsrecrystallization
The pipeiine was extiacteu by both Reflux methou anu Soxhlation
methou by using 9S% ethanol as solvent. The solution was filteieu
anu concentiateu unuei vacuum in a watei bath at 6uC. Suml
alcoholic potassium hyuioxiue was auueu to the concentiate anu the
solution was stiiieu continuously foi Sumin. The obtaineu solution
was heateu anu watei was auueu uiop wise until yellow piecipitate
was foimeu. Watei was auueu until no moie piecipitate appeaieu to
foim anu this was alloweu to settle oveinight. Neeules of Pipeiine
weie obseiveu to be sepaiateu out. The soliu was collecteu anu
washeu with colu ethei 2S times. It was ieciystallizeu by using
acetone. Foi this, uissolve soliu in acetone anu filtei it to iemove
extianeous mattei anu keep the filtiate asiue foi 24his so that
ciystals of Pipeiine aie foimeu. Yellow colouieu iou shapeu ciystals
weie ieciystallizeu aftei 24 his.

Sgml of the uiug in ethanol was useu foi complete scan between

. An
excess amount i.e. Su mg of Pipeiine was taken in a sepaiating
funnel containing 1:1 iatio of buffei 6.6 & nhexane & placeu in a
watei bath foi 24h. The solution was shaken at iegulai inteivals.
Then, both of them weie sepaiateu & filteieu thiough a 2 filtei &
the uiug concentiation in each phase was ueteimineu by measuiing
the absoibance using 0v spectiophotometei at S44nm.

A small amount of powueieu uiug is placeu on the sliue & mounteu
using glyceiin. By using eye piece miciometei, the uiameteis of 2uu
