morus cathayana/phosphatase

Ten new geranylated 2-arylbenzofuran derivatives, including two monoterpenoid 2-arylbenzofurans (1 and 2), two geranylated 2-arylbenzofuran enantiomers (3a and 3b), and six geranylated 2-arylbenzofurans (4-9), along with four known 2-arylbenzofurans (10-13) were isolated from the root bark of Morus

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) protein tyrosine phosphatases A and B (PtpA and PtpB) have been recognized as potential molecular targets for the development of new therapeutic strategies against tuberculosis (TB). In this context, we have recently reported that the naturally occurring

Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common form of diabetes and has become a major health problem across the world. The root bark of Morus alba L. is widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for treatment and management of diabetes. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the enzyme

Mulberry leaf is a common vegetable with a variety of beneficial effects, such as hypoglycemic activity. However, the underlying mechanism of its hypoglycemic effect have not been fully revealed. In this study, two flavonoid derivatives were isolated from mulberry leaves, a new geranylated flavonoid

An organic layer prepared from the Chinese crude drug 'Sang-Bai-Pi' (Morus root bark) was studied in order to identify the inhibitory compounds for protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B). Bioassay-guided fractionation resulted in the isolation of sanggenon C (1), sanggenon G (2), mulberrofuran C

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 multiple forms of acid phosphatase from the hemolymph, fat body, intestinal wall and silk gland of the silkworm larvae differing in their mobility during polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were separated by isoelectrofocusing, gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography and characterized in

BACKGROUND 1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) discovered from mulberry trees has been reported to be a potent inhibitor of intestinal α-glycosidases (sucrase, maltase, glucoamylase), and many polysaccharides were useful in protecting against alloxan-induced pancreatic islets damage through their scavenging

Mulberry (Morus alba L.) is the sole food source for the mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori and therefore important for sericulture industry. Different abiotic stress conditions like drought, salt, heat and cold stress adversely affect the productivity and quality of mulberry leaves. Quantitative real

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

Six new Diels-Alder type adducts, morusalisins A-F (1-6), were isolated from Morus alba cell cultures. The structures of 1-6 were determined by extensive spectroscopic data analysis, including HRESIMS, NMR, and ECD experiments. Furthermore, compounds 1-6 exhibited potent protein tyrosine phosphatase

Based on the benefit of polyphenolic compounds on osteoporosis, we hypothesized that the polyphenol-rich herbal congee containing the combined extract of Morus alba and Polygonum odoratum leaves should improve bone turnover markers in menopausal women. To test this hypothesis, a

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the potential of intercropping Arundo donax with Broussonetia papyrifera or Morus alba to remediate heavy metal-contaminated soil. The results showed that intercropping the herbaceous plant A. donax with woody plants B.
