Abstract

Objective: To study the chemical constituents of Mori Cortex.

Methods: The compounds from the dichloromethane-methanol extracts were isolated by the silica gel column chromatography, and their structures were identified by the spectral analysis and chemical evidence.

Results: Eight compounds were obtained and their structures were identified as 3-acetyl-beta-amyranol (1), neotocopherol (2), alpha-amyrin (3), clionasterol (4), betulinic acid (5), moracin O (6), morusin (7) and morusignin L (8).

Conclusion: Componds 2 and 4 are obtained from this plant for the first time.
