A prenylated flavonoid, moralbanone, along with seven known compounds kuwanon S, mulberroside C, cyclomorusin, eudraflavone B hydroperoxide, oxydihydromorusin, leachianone G and alpha-acetyl-amyrin were isolated from the root bark of Morus alba L. Leachianone G showed potent antiviral activity (IC50= 1.6 mug/ml), whereas mulberroside C showed weak activity (IC50=75.4 mug/ml) against herpes simplex type 1 virus (HSV-1). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
