Polyhydroxylated piperidines from natural sources, which have structures and shapes resembling monosaccharides have been found as a -glycosidase inhibitors. They competitively inhibit glycosidases whose substrates they most closely resemble. 1-Deoxynojirimycin (moranoline) (98 1), was isolated from Mori Cortex (root bark of the mulberry tree, Morus bombycis (Moraceae)), leaves of Jacobinia suberecta (Acanthaceae)...

Abstract"In search of the bioactive substances of the bioactive substances in Mori Cortex, a Mori Cortex extract (MCE) was orally administered to rats, and the characteristic constituents in plasma, urine and bile were analyzed, mulberroside A and cis-mulberroside A were identified in plasma, oxyresveratrol, oxyresveratrol 2,3 -0- -D-diglucuronide and oxyresveratrol and oxyresveratrol 2-0- P -D-glucuronide-3 -0-sulfate in urine and mulberroside k, oxyresveratrol, oxyresveratrol 2,3 -0-P -D-diglucuronide and oxyresveratrol and oxyresveratrol 2-0- P -D-glucuronide-3 -0-sulfate in bile. The origins of these metabolites were considered to be mainly derived from mulberroside A in Mori Cortex. 

Alter oral administration of water extraaion of Mori Cortex to rats, M-1 and M-2 were detected in blood, M-3, M-4 and M-5 in urine, and M-1, M-2, M-4 and M-5 in bile [5).
