Bacterial enoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) reductase has been confirmed as a novel target for antibacterial drug development. In the screening of inhibitors of Staphylococcus aureus enoyl-ACP reductase (FabI), we found that a methanol extract of leaves of Morus alba L. potently inhibited S. aureus
The synthesis of each of the heptamethyl ethers of the mulberry Diels-Alder adducts chalcomoracin (1) and mulberrofuran J (2) is described. The key steps in each approach involved a biomimetic intermolecular [4+2]-cycloaddition between a dehydroprenylphenol diene derived from an
A new isoprenylated sanggenon-type flavanone, nigrasin K (1), together with three known analogs (2-4) and five known Diels-Alder adducts (5-9), were isolated from the twigs of Morus nigra. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. Sanggenon M (2), chalcomoracin (5), sorocein H (6),
Eight Diels-Alder adducts, morbilisins A-H (1-8), a known analogue, chalcomoracin (9), together with eleven known flavonoids and 2-arylbenzofurans, were isolated from the leaves of Morus notabilis. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis, including 1D, 2D NMR, MS, and
The investigation on the leaves of Morus alba L. was carried out to find the relationship of the constituents and the pharmacological activities. The isolation and purification were performed by various chromatographies such as silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, RP-C18 column chromatography and so on.
The column chromatography on silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 and semi-preparative HPLC were used to separate and purify the compounds from the EtOAc extract of medium and MeOH extract of cell cultures of Morus alba. Eight compounds were isolated. Based on physico-chemical properties and spectroscopic
Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation is harmful to plants and human beings. Many secondary metabolites, like flavonoids, alkaloids, and lignin, are UV-B absorbing compounds, which can protect the genetic material of plants. Furthermore, they are active components of herbal drugs. UV-B radiation can
A new Diels-Alder type adduct named morushalunin (1), together with three similar compounds, guangsangon E (2), chalcomoracin (3), and kuwanon J (4) were isolated from the EtOAc extract of liquid medium of Morus alba var. shalun root cultures. The structures
Many isoprenylated flavonoids have been isolated from Japanese mulberry tree (Moraceae). Among them, kuwanons G (1) and H (2) were the first isolated active substances exhibiting a hypotensive effect. These compounds are considered to be formed through an enzymatic Diels-Alder type reaction between
Three new natural products, australisines A-C (1-3, resp.), were isolated from the stem bark of Morus australis, together with eight related compounds, including mulberrofurans E-G, J, and Q, mongolicin C, chalcomoracin, and kuwanon G. Their structures were fully characterized by spectroscopic
In addition to mulberrofuran C, a new 2-arylbenzofuran derivative, six flavonoid derivatives, cyclomorusin, morusin, kuwanon C, E, G and H, as well as a known 2-arylbenzofuran derivative, chalcomoracin, were isolated from extracts of root bark of the cultivated mulberry tree (a variety of Morus
Five new Diels-Alder type adducts, mongolicins A - E, and nine known compounds, mongolicin F, chalcomoracin, mulberrofuran T, mulberrofuran G, mulberrofuran F, albanol B, kuwanon O, mulberrofuran H and kuwanon H, were isolated from the stem and root bark of Morus mongolica. Their structures were
Six new Diels-Alder-type adducts, wittiorumins A-F ( 1 - 6) along with the three known compounds chalcomoracin ( 7), mulberrofuran J ( 8), and mongolicin F ( 9), were isolated from the stem bark of Morus wittiorum. Their structures including their absolute configurations were determined on the basis
Methanol extracts from ultraviolet (UV) C-irradiated mulberry leaves (UVC-IML) exhibit stronger tyrosinase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities than those from unirradiated mulberry leaves. Through a bioassay-guided fractionation and purification process, two oxyresveratrol derivatives,
Mulberry leaves treated with UV-C were found to accumulate three different phytoalexins, moracin C, moracin N, and chalcomoracin. The increased level of malondialdehyde in UV-treated leaves along with moracins suggested their role as a free-radical scavenger in stressed plants. All the three
