Morus alba, a traditional economic crop, is also a significant medicinal plant. The branches(Mori Ramulus), leaves(Mori Folium), roots and barks(Mori Cortex), and fruits(Mori Fructus) of M. alba are rich in chemical components, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, flavanols, anthocyanins, benzofurans, phenolic acids, and polysaccharides, and possess hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-microbial, liver protective, immunoregulatory, and other pharmacological activities. This study analyzed the sources, classification, and functions of the main chemical components in M. alba and systematically summarized the latest research results of essential active components in M. alba and their pharmacological effects to provide references for in-depth research and further development as well as utilization of active components in M. alba.
桑树是一种传统经济作物，也是一种重要的药用植物。桑树的枝条（桑枝）、叶子（桑叶）、根和树皮（桑白皮）以及果实（桑椹）富含生物碱、黄酮类化合物、黄烷醇、花青素、苯并呋喃、酚酸和多糖等化学成分，并具有降血糖、降血脂、抗炎、抗肿瘤、抗菌、保肝、免疫调节等药理活性。本研究分析了桑树主要化学成分的来源、分类和功能，系统总结了桑树主要活性成分及其药理作用的最新研究成果，为深入研究和进一步开发利用桑树活性成分提供参考。
