kuwanon a

Kuwanon A inhibits nitric oxide production (IC50: 10.5 μM). Kuwanon A is a flavone derivative isolated from Morus alba L.

Kuwanon K, a natural product, is extractable from Morus Lhou [1].

Kuwanon W, a natural product, is isolable from the root bark of Morus lhou [1].

Kuwanon O, a flavonoid derivative featuring a fused dihydrochalcone segment, is extractable from the root bark of Morus lhou (set.) Koidz [1].

1. Kuwanon G (Moracenin B) as dual inhibitors of PTP1B and α-glucosidase enzymes, as well as insulin sensitizers, it may potentially be utilized as an effective treatment for Type II diabetes mellitus. 2. Kuwanon G has anti-inflammatory activity, it can attenuate atherosclerosis through inhibiting foam cell formation and inflammatory response. 3. Kuwanon G is a potent inhibitor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein tyrosine phosphatase B. 4. Kuwanon G shows acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase(BChE) inhibitory activities, it may be a promising candidate for preventive and therapeutic agents for Alzheimer's disease. 5. Kuwanon G prevents the pathological progression of allergic asthma through the inhibition of lung destruction by inflammation and immune stimulation. 6. Kuwanon G has antibacterial activity against oral pathogens. 7. Kuwanon G is a specific antagonist for the GRP-preferring receptor and can be useful for studying the physiological and pathological role of GRP.

Kuwanon B belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 3-prenylated flavones. Within the cell, kuwanon B is primarily located in the membrane (predicted from logP). Outside of the human body, kuwanon b can be found in fruits. This makes kuwanon b a

Kuwanon H, and possibly kuwanon G also, are specific antagonists for the gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) -preferring receptor and can be useful for studying the physiological and pathological role of GRP.

Kuwanon E, a flavonoid obtained from Morus alba, has potential anti-inflammatory activity, inhibits TNF-α and IL-1β secretion, and suppresses NF-κB nuclear translocation in LPS-stimulated macrophages.

Cyclomorusin exhibits competitive inhibition toward monophenolase activity of mushroom tyrosinase, the IC50 value of 0.092 microM. It evokes the stimulation of superoxide anion generation in fMLP-stimulated rat neutrophils. Cyclomorusin , neocyclomorusin
