From the ethyl acetate extract of the twigs of Morus alba L. (Moraceae) growing in Dong Thap, Vietnam, a pentacyclic triterpenoid, β-amyrin-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), a Diels – Alder type adduct, mulberrofuran G (2), a benzofuran, moracin M (3) and a prenylated flavonoid, kuwanon G (4) were isolated through repeated silica gel column chromatography. Their structures were identified by physicochemical and spectrometric methods. | Journal of Science and Technology 54 (4) (2016) DOI: THE ISOLATED COMPOUNDS FROM THE TWIGS OF MORUS ALBA L.

INTRODUCTION The genus Morus (Moraceae) comprises about a dozen of species which are widely distributed in India, China, Japan, North Africa, Arabia, South Europe, etc. [1]. Five species were found in Vietnam [2]. White mulberry (Morus alba L.) is widely cultivated in many Asian countries where the leaves are used as the best feed for silkworms because they contain many nutritional components [3]. Almost all parts of this plant is used in folk medicine in Vietnam as well as in China, Korea and Japan [4]. In recent studies many potentially active compounds have been isolated from Morus alba L. including flavonoids [5], benzofurans and stilbenoid [6], lignans [7], alkaloids and amino acids [8], coumarins [9], and triterpenoids [10]. In this study, we report the isolation of four compounds from twigs of Morus alba in Dong Thap. Their spectroscopic data were compared with previously reported ones to .
