kuwanon j/morus

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),

Five Diels-Alder type adducts, named guangsangons F, G, H, I, and J, along with two known compounds, mulberrofuran J and kuwanon J, were isolated from Morus macroura Miq. Their structures were determined by means of spectroscopic analyses and chemical methods. These compounds were regarded

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

A bioassay-guided phytochemical fractionation of the methanol extract of the Morus alba root barks led to the isolation of two chalcone-derived Diels-Alder adducts (1 and 2). Their structures were elucidated as kuwanon J 2,4,10″-trimethyl ether (1) and kuwanon R (2) by means of spectroscopic

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

Bioassay-guided fractionation of the chloroform-soluble fraction of Morus bombycis, using an in vitro PTP1B inhibitory assay led to the identification of three 2-arylbenzofurans, albafuran A (1), mulberrofuran W (2) and mulberrofuran D (6), along with three chalcone-derived Diels-Alder products,

The methyl ether derivatives 2, 4 and 6 of the mulberry Diels-Alder adducts chalcomoracin (1) and mulberrofuran C (3) and kuwanon J (5) respectively have been synthesized by a thermal [4 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction between a chalcone and dehydroprenyl diene. A H-bonded ortho OH substituent on the

Many isoprenylated flavonoids have been isolated from mulberry trees and related plants (Moraceae). Among them, kuwanons G (13) and H (14) were the first isolated active substances exhibiting a hypotensive effect from the Japanese Morus root bark. These compounds are considered to be formed through
