Mulberry ( L.) belongs to the Moraceae family and is widely planted in Asia. Mulberry fruits are generally consumed as fresh fruits, jams and juices. They contain considerable amounts of biologically active ingredients that might be associated with some potential pharmacological activities that are beneficial for health. Therefore, they have been traditionally used in traditional medicine. Studies have reported that the presence of bioactive components in mulberry fruits, including alkaloids and flavonoid, are associated with bioactivities such as antioxidant. One of the most important compounds in mulberry fruits is anthocyanins which are water-soluble bioactive ingredients of the polyphenol class. Studies have shown that mulberry fruits possess several potential pharmacological health benefits including anti-cholesterol, anti-obesity and hepatoprotective effects which might be associated with the presence of some of these bioactive compounds. However, human intervention studies on the pharmacological activities of mulberry fruits are limited. Therefore, future studies should explore the effect of mulberry fruit consumption on human health and elucidate the detailed compounds. This paper provides an overview of the pharmacological activities of mulberry fruits.
桑（L.）属于桑科，在亚洲广泛种植。桑果通常作为新鲜水果、果酱和果汁食用。它们含有大量生物活性成分，这些成分可能与一些对健康有益的潜在药理活性有关。因此，它们在传统医学中一直被使用。研究报告称，桑果中生物活性成分的存在，包括生物碱和黄酮类化合物，与抗氧化等生物活性有关。桑果中最重要的化合物之一是花青素，它是多酚类的水溶性生物活性成分。研究表明，桑果具有多种潜在的药理健康益处，包括抗胆固醇、抗肥胖和保肝作用，这些可能与其中一些生物活性化合物的存在有关。然而，关于桑果药理活性的人体干预研究有限。因此，未来的研究应探索食用桑果对人体健康的影响，并阐明具体的化合物。本文概述了桑果的药理活性。
