Mulberroside A is a novel, naturally occurring and potent anti-tyrosinase agent ( IC50 = 53.6 μM) isolated from mulberry (Morus alba L.). It exhibits anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 and the activation of NALP3, caspase-1, and NF-κB and the phosphorylation of ERK, JNK, and p38.

Biological Activity
| ln Vivo | Mulberroside A (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg) reduces serum uric acid levels and increases uric acid excretion and fractional uric acid excretion in hyperuricemic mice [4]. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male Kunming mouse (20±2 g) [4] Doses: 5, 10, 20, 40 mg/kg; dose volume 10 mL/kg Body weight Route of Administration: 9:00 am Oral start Experimental Results: 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg Dramatically increased urate excretion within 24 hrs (hrs (hours)), resulting in a significant increase in fractional uric acid excretion (FEUA), and the highest dose completely reversed the FEUA changes in hyperuricemic mice to normal. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ≥ 100 mg/mL (~175.90 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.40 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.40 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.40 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. Solubility in Formulation 4: 10 mg/mL (17.59 mM) in 0.5% CMC-Na/saline water (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with ultrasonication. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
