Abstract
Three Diels-Alder type adducts (1-3) along with their precursors, including one 2-arylbenzofuran (4) and one stilbene (5), were isolated from the MeOH extract of M. alba var. shalun root cultures. Among them, 1 is a new Diels-Alder type adduct named morushalunin D. The molecular structures of 1-5 were elucidated based on spectroscopic data and comparison with the literatures. Cytotoxic properties of compounds 1-5 were evaluated against murine leukemia P-388 cells. Morushalunin D (1), mulberrofuran T (2), sorocein A (3), moracin M (4), and oxyresveratrol (5) were active, significantly inhibiting the growth of P-388 cells with IC50 values of 0.5, 1.0, 0.6, 2.0, and 3.3 μg/ml, respectively.
