PHARMACOLOGICAL STUDIES ON ROOT BARK OF MULBERRY TREE (Morus alba L.)

[摘要] References(14)Cited-By(6)Pharmacological studies were done on the root bark of mulberry tree and pharmacological effects were compared with the clinical effects of “Sohakuhi” in Chinese medicine. n-Butanol- and water-soluble fractions of mulberry root had similar effects except for those on the cadiovascular system. Both fractions showed cathartic, analgesic, diuretic, antitussive, antiedema, sedative, anticonv ulsant, and hypotensive actions in mice, rats, guinea pigs and dogs. There appears to be a correlation between the experimental pharmacological results and the clinical applications of mulberry root found in the literature on Chinese medicine.
