title: Identification and properties of 2,5-dihydroxy-4,3'-di(beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-trans-stilbene from Morus bombycis Koidzumi roots.
abstract: 2,5-Dihydroxy-4,3'-di(beta-d-glucopyranosyloxy)-trans-stilbene was identified from Morus bombycis Koidzumi roots. The 2,5-dihydroxy-4,3'-di(beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-trans-stilbene at a dose of 400-600 mg/kg had hepatoprotective activity comparable to the standard agent, silymarin. The biochemical assays were confirmed by histological observations showing that the 2,5-dihydroxy-4,3'-di(beta-d-glucopyranosyloxy)-trans-stilbene from Morus bombycis Koidzumi roots decreased cell ballooning in response to CCl4 treatment. These results demonstrate that the 2,5-dihydroxy-4,3'-di(beta-d-glucopyranosyloxy)-trans-stilbene component has a liver protective action against CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity.
