Studies on the constituents of the leaves of Morus alba L.
Two novel prenylflavanes (1, 2) and a glycoside (3) of 1 were isolated along with six known compounds, isoquercitrin (4), astragalin (5), scopolin (6), skimmin (7), roseoside II (8) and benzyl D-glucopyranoside (9), from the leaves of Morus alba. The inhibitory activities of compounds 1, 2 and 3 on the oxidation of human low density lipoprotein (LDL) were investigated.
