Abstract
Chemical investigation of the EtOH extract of Morus alba L. (Moraceae), as guided by free radical scavenging activity, furnished 5,7-dihydroxycoumarin 7-methyl ether (1), two prenylflavones, cudraflavone B (2) and cudraflavone C (3), and oxyresveratrol (4). Compounds 1 and 4 showed superoxide scavenging effects with the IC(50) values of 19.1 +/- 3.6 and 3.81 +/- 0.5 microM, respectively. Compound 4 exhibited a DPPH free radical scavenging effect (IC(50) = 23.4 +/- 1.5 microM). Compounds 2 and 4 showed hepatoprotective effects with EC(50) values of 10.3 +/- 0.42 and 32.3 +/- 2.62 micro, respectively, on tacrine-induced cytotoxicity in human liver-derived Hep G2 cells.Entities:
