Morus alba cortex
TCM herb that purges lung heat, relieves wheezing, and promotes urination; used for cough, asthma, and edema.
Mulberry root bark (Morus alba cortex) is a traditional Chinese herb used to purge lung heat, relieve cough and wheezing, and promote urination to reduce edema. Its primary active compounds include prenylated flavonoids such as morusin and cyclomulberrin, along with other flavonoids and tannins. Modern research suggests potential antitussive, antihypertensive, diuretic, and anti-inflammatory activities, though clinical evidence remains limited (Level C).
The antiasthmatic and antitussive effects are attributed to inhibition of airway smooth muscle contraction via blockade of voltage-gated calcium channels and reduction of histamine release from mast cells. The diuretic action may involve increased renal blood flow and inhibition of the Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransporter in the thick ascending limb. Anti-inflammatory activity is linked to suppression of NF-κB and COX-2 pathways by morusin and related flavonoids. Additionally, the antihypertensive effect may result from angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition and vasodilation mediated by nitric oxide release from endothelial cells.
