Three quercetin glycosides, quercetin 5-O-beta-D-glucoside, quercetin 7-O-beta-D-glucoside, and quercetin 4'-O-beta-D-glucoside, and two kaempferol glycosides, kaempferol 5-O-beta-D-glucoside and kaempferol 7-O-beta-D-glucoside, along with their aglycones, quercetin and kaempferol, were isolated from an ethanolic extract of Sasamayu cocoon shells. The chemical structures were characterized by c...

Endophytes provide a plethora of potential substances that are used in modern medicine. There is an emergence interest to discover compounds from endophytes due their abundant availability renewable sources, and low cost relative chemically synthesized compounds. Studies have shown Morus alba plant has antioxidant antibacterial activities. Hence, the present study we deals with bioprospecting a...

Fabrication prototype of DSSC (Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell) using mulberry powder from leaf extract (Morus Alba L.) and dragon fruit (Hylocereus Polyrhizus) as photosensitizers has been carried out. The test was out by testing the I-V characteristics at a light distance 10, 20 30 cm material sample. results show that chlorophyll is capable producing an electric current which characteristic resist...

Phytoremediation is a green technology; however, very few species of arid environments have been identified as hyperaccumulators and fast growers. Therefore, greenhouse experiment was performed to evidence the phytoaccumulation potential Conocarpus erectus, Syzygium cumini, Populus deltoides Morus alba at sapling stage. Six-month-old plant saplings were subjected control (CK; 0 µM) cadmium trea...

The leaves of Morus alba L. have a long history in Traditional Chinese Medicine and also became valued by the ethnopharmacology of many other cultures. The worldwide known antidiabetic use of the drug has been suggested to arise from a complex combination effect of various constituents. Moreover, the drug is also a potential antihyperuricemic agent. Considering that type 2 diabetes and hyperuri...

Morus alba L., (cv Ichinose) was cultivated by in-room hydroponics. The flavor and texture of leaves were markedly improved enough to be edible. When the contents 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) polyphenols measured in hydroponic cultivar, DNJ increased leaf compared field grown M. alba. However, polyphenols, contrast, decreased cultivar. HPLC profiling revealed marked difference components between cu...

BACKGROUND Morus alba, a medicinal plant in Asia, has been used traditionally to treat diabetes mellitus and hypoglycemia. However, the effects of M. alba extract (MAE) on atopic dermatitis have not been verified scientifically. We investigated the effects of MAE on atopic dermatitis through in vitro and in vivo experiments. METHODS We evaluated the effects of MAE on the production of nitric ...
