Abstract
Mulberrofuran C, a new 2-arylbenzofuran derivative; 6 flavonoid derivatives, cyclomorusin, morusin, kuwanon C, E, G and H; and a known 2-arylbenzofuran derivative, chalcomoracin, were isolated from extracts of root bark of the cultivated mulberry tree (a variety of M. bombycis). The structure of mulberrofuran C was determined on the basis of spectral data. It is regarded biogentically as a Diels-Alder adduct of a chalcone derivative and a dehydroprenyl 2-arylbenzofuran derivative. I.v. mulberrofuran C produced significant hypotension in rabbit.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
