SO Int Conf AIDS. 1994 Aug 7-12;10(1):203 (abstract no. PB0240). Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE ICA10/94369692 AB San Baipi. root of Morus alba L. (Moraceae) is a traditional Chinese medicine for cough, asthma and other diseases. The alcohol extract of San Baipi displayed activity against HIV in vitro. Solvent partition, fractionation on CC and preparing TLC provided three anti-HIV flavonoids: morusin, kuwanon H and morusin-4'-glucoside. The results of anti-HIV test of morusin, kuwanon H and their derivatives indicated that the site between 2-free hydroxy and 3-y,y-dimethylallylic group of these flavonoids was sensitive to photo-oxidation, and contributed to anti-HIV activity. This paper is the first report on preparing, physical data, anti-HIV activity and cytotoxicity of morusin-2'-glucoside, morusin-4'-glucoside, kuwanon H-6'-aoctare kuwanon H-7-aoetate and triacetate mulberrofuran D.
