(including c. canescens,c. citrullina, c. morina, c. sonchi, c. cruciferarumand c. helianthicola), and pseudocercospora rubi. also, helianthus sp., morus alba,raphanus sp. and taraxacum sp. are reported as new hosts forc...

Four new 2-arylbenzofuran derivatives, moracins V-Y (1-4), together with two known compounds, moracin N (5) and moracin P (6), were isolated from the leaves of Morus alba L. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. Moracins X (3) and Y (4) represent unusual substituted group compared with 2-arylbenzofuran derivatives, which were isolated from the genus Morus. Compounds 2-5 we...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of methanolic extracts of Murraya koenigii Spreng. (Curry leaf) and Morus alba Linn. (Mulberry leaf) on the age of attainment of puberty, relative ovary and uterus weight and the number of ovarian surface follicles in female Wistar albino rats. The rats were reared from 20 to 70 days of age in six groups consisting of eight rats in each group....

Cisplatin (CP) as an important anti-tumor drug causes nephrotoxicity mainly by oxidative stress and renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Since flavonoids have high antioxidant activity and probable role in the inhibition of RAS, this study was designed to investigate the protective effect of hydroalcoholic extract and flavonoid fraction of Morus alba leaves on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in rat...
