Black mulberry (
Morus nigra
) phenolics and anti-carcinogenity: Anti-proliferation of black mulberry
powder on selected CA lines
P
henolic compounds, ubiquitous in fruits, vegetables and plants, are of considerable interest and have received great attention in
recently owing to their bioactive functions. Polyphenols are amongst the most desirable phytochemicals due to their antioxidant
activity and those components are known as secondary plant metabolites and possess also antimicrobial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory
and anti-carcinogenic properties along with their high antioxidant capacity. Plant phenolics, especially such as flavonoids, phenolic acids
lignans and stilbenoids, modulate several important biological processes in mammalian cells and show anti-carcinogenic properties in
preclinical PCa models and concerning studies are limited.
Morus nigra
is a deciduous tree growing to 10-13 m tall and it is mulberry
type, especially specific to Asian continent. Its edible fruits are dark violet or black color. Anatolia is home of the mulberry fruit and one of
the oldest culture area. Inmany agricultural areas of our country, high quality mulberry fruit is grown owing to the cultivation conditions
are so convenient. It is reported that black mulberry fruit have anti-diabetic, anti-oxidative, and anti-inflammatuar effects and it is
positive efficient on urinary system. It contains phenolic phytochemicals as intense degree. Black mulberry fruit is rich in carotenoid and
flavonoid bioactives, also alkaloids, vitamins, oils (linoleic acid, palmiticacid, oleicacid), sugars (glucose, fructose) and minerals are other
constituents. Due to its antioxidant content, the antioxidant activity of black mulberry is high and its bioactive compounds, flavonoids
and anthocyanins are in quite wide range. Black mulberries contain rutin, myricetin, quercetin, kaempferol as flavonols; isoquercetin
(quercetin 3-O-4C1-B-D-glucoside) as flavonol glycosides; p-coumaric, p-hydroxybenzoic, chlorogenic, ferulic, gallic, vanillicasidler as
phenolicacids; (+)-catechin, epicatechin, epigallocateching all at as flavanols; morusin, moracin M2, cyclomorusin, apigenin as flavon
structure phenolic compounds; naringenin as flavonon; cyanidin 3-O-glucoside, cyanidin 3-O-rutinoside, pelargonidin 3-O-glucoside,
pelargonidin 3-O-rutinoside as anthocyanins and cyanidin, pelargonidin phenolics as aglycon forms of anthocyanins (called as
anthocyanidins); resveratrol as stilbens; oxyresveratrol, mulberroside A (Oxyresveratrol-4-O-b-D- glucopyranosyl-3 9 -O-b-D-
glucopyranoside or 2, 4, 3 9 , 5 9-tetrahydroxys- tilbene), kuwanon C5, kuwanon C6 as resorsinol type phenolic compounds; β sitosterol-
3-O-β-Dglucoside as steroidal saponins; ursolicacid, oleanolicacid as triterpenic acids. The studies of the flavonoid fractions obtained
fromblackmulberry (
Morus nigra
) on anti-proliferation of cancer cell lines and its anti-cancer effects are limited. It is reported that major
phenolic substance
Morus inflavon
in
Morus alba
type white mulberries has been inactive the STAT3 signals in prostate cancer cells
(PCa) and has been triggered apoptosis (cell death) and no findings could be found belongs to
Morus nigra
(black mulberry). Besides,
anti-proliferative effects of the bioactive profiles of white colour mulberries on hepatocarcinoma cell lines (HepG2) was determined and
it is reported that white mulberry bioactive compounds are effective on liver cancer and no findings could be found belongs to
Morus
nigra
(black mulberry). It is put forwarded that apigenin flavon phenolic in all mulberry types can be blocked human T-24 bladder cancer
cells and has been triggered apoptosis.
