The biological activities of the active principles of two plants in the Moraceae have been investigated. A new prenylflavonoid, australone A (1), and a new triterpenoid, 3 beta-[(m-methoxybenzoyl)oxy]urs-12-en-28-oic acid (2) were isolated from the root bark of Morus australis, and their structures determined by spectroscopic methods. Also isolated from this plant were seven known compounds, morusin (3), kuwanon C (4), betulinic acid, beta-amyrin, quercetin, ursolic acid, and compound A. Morusin (3) showed significant effects on arachidonic acid-, collagen-, and PAF-induced platelet aggregation, while kuwanon C (4) was active in the arachidonic acid- and PAF-induced platelet aggregation assays. In biological work on a second plant, Broussonetia papyrifera, broussoflavonols F (5) and G (6), broussoflavan A (7), and broussoaurone A (8) potently inhibited Fe2+-induced lipid oxidation in rat-brain homogenate. Compounds 5-7 also significantly inhibited the proliferation of rat vascular smooth muscle cells.
