A novel alkylated piperazine (3a,5a-diisobutyryl-6a-isopropyl-piperazine-2-one, 1) has been isolated from the n-butanol soluble part of the leaves extract of Arum palaestinum Boiss., the chemical structure and the relative stereochemistry of 1 were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data. Piperazirum showed a significant cytotoxicity against cultured tumor cell lines in vitro.
