Abstract:

Norartocarpetin, one of the flavonoids groups, has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antivirus and tyrosinase inhibitory activities and other important biological activities. In the present study, norartocarpetin was obtained from leaves of artificial triploid mulberry variant, Jialing 20, by 95% alcohol extraction and silica column chromatographic purification. Based on physicochemical characteristics and NMR spectral data, the structure of norartocarpetin was identified with relative molecular weight of 286 and its molecular formula was C15H10O6. These results will provide the basis for the further research on bioactive compounds and flavones from mulberry.
