“…Mulberry (genus Morus) is an economically important plant used for sericulture, as a feed for the domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori (Awasthi et al, 2004), and has a long history of medicinal use in Chinese medicine as a herbal medicine called "Sang Bai-Pi" (Nomura, 1988). The root bark, twigs and fruits which contain phenolic compounds are used as refreshing substances, are prescribed to treat cough, asthma, other chest complaints and rheumatism (Nomura, 1988). The decoction of the leaves possesses blood purifying properties, reduces fever and is diuretic (Kumar and Gupta, 1996).…”

“…In Chinese medicine, plants belonging to the genus Morus are used for its anti-inflammatory, diuretic, antitussive, analgesic and antipyretic effects (Nomura, 1988). Almeida et al (2011) conducted a study on the hypoglycaemic potential of M. nigra leaves; and Oliveira et al (2013) conducted a study to observe the toxicity of M. nigra tea leaves, concluding that the tea can be considered to have a low toxicity, and it also did not produce toxic effects on treated animals.…”

The acaricidal activity of crude ethanolic extract and fractions from the leaves of Morus nigra (Moraceae) was carried out on female cattle ticks Rhipicephalus microplus, using the adult immersion test. The mortality and fertility of females exposed to different concentrations of hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions, as well as ethanolic extract of M. nigra with concentrations of 5, 10 and 25mg/ml were evaluated using three treatment groups, two control groups and triplicate tests. The study also identified the main phenolic compounds of the extract and fractions of this species by HPLC. The chloroform fraction of leaves of M. nigra (25mg/mL) showed the best results for this species, obtaining 62.6% of inhibition of oviposition, 39.3% of eggs eclosion average and 65.4% of effectiveness. HPLC analysis revealed the presence of phenolic compounds, which may be related to biological activity shown by the extracts, which can be used as an alternative control against R. microplus adult tick.Keywords: tick control, acaricide, plant extract, mulberry, HPLC RESUMO A atividade acaricida do extrato etanólico bruto e das frações das folhas de

“…One such plant that has been studies for its ability to reduce oxidative stress is Morus alba. The roots and fruits of M. alba have been traditionally used for treating hypertension, rheumatism, beri-beri, pyrexia 16 etc. However, not much is known about the use of M. alba leaves for inhibiting ROS and ROS-induced DNA damage.…”

Objective: The present study was conducted to investigate the antioxidant and anti-clastogenic activity of fractions extracted from Morusalba (Moraceae) leaves. Methods: The leaves of Morus alba were sequentially extracted using n-Hexane, Petroleum Ether, Ethyl Acetate, Methanol and Water, and Total phenolic content was determined using Folin-Ciocalteau (FC) reagent. The anti-oxidant property of each fraction was determined using 2-Deoxy-D-ribose, 2, 2-Diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) and Hydroxyl radical scavenging assay. Furthermore, anti-clastogenic potential of these fractions was determined using calf-thymus DNA in the presence of Fenton's reagent followed by analyzing the samples by agarose gel electrophoresis. Results: All fractions showed the presence of varied amounts of total phenols and exhibited anti-oxidant activity as determined by scavenging the corresponding radicals. Among these fractions the methanol fraction (MEMA) showed the maximum phenol content as well as anti-oxidant activity. In addition MEMA could inhibit the breakage of DNA strands (anti-clastogenic activity) compared to other fractions tested. Discussion: Results of this study suggests that MEMA is likely to possess better antioxidant and anti-clastogenic activity.
