Description

Mulberrofuran A is a bioactive prenylated 2-arylbenzofuran derivative, a key marker compound found in the root bark of *Morus alba* L. (white mulberry). This compound matters for its significant role as a reference standard in analytical research and its potential as a lead compound in pharmacological studies. Industries requiring high-purity phytochemicals, such as pharmaceutical R&D, nutraceutical development, and academic research, need it for quality control, bioactivity screening, and metabolic pathway investigations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis (HPLC, LC-MS) of mulberry root bark extracts and related herbal products.
• Bioactivity Research: Serves as a key compound in studies investigating anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-diabetic, and anti-cancer properties.
• Natural Product Chemistry: Employed as a purified marker for the isolation, characterization, and structural elucidation of related benzofuran compounds.
• Nutraceutical & Cosmetic Ingredient Development: Acts as a standardized bioactive component in the formulation of high-end health supplements and skincare products.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Essential for phytochemical, pharmacological, and biosynthetic pathway studies in university and research institute laboratories.
