Chemical constituents from root barks of Morus atropurpurea / 中国中药杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the chemical constituents from the root barks of Morus atropurpurea.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The chemical constituents from the 70% ethanol extract of M. atropurpurea were isolated and purified by column chromatographic methods. Their structures were identified by physico-chemical properties as well as spectral data.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Fifteen compounds were isolated and identified as sanggenol O(1), kuwanon S(2), moracin C(3), mulberrofuran A(4), mulberrofuran B(5), mulberrofuran C(6), mulberrofuran G(7), mulberroside A(8), mulberroside C(9), 1-deoxynojirimycin(10), 2-O-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-1-deoxynojirimycin(11), fagomine(12), betulinic acid(13), ursolic acid(14) and beta-sitosterol(15).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Compounds 1-6 and 8-13 were isolated from M. atropurpurea for the first time.</p>
