Gastrointestinal cancers are a major global health challenge, with high mortality rates. This study investigated the anti-cancer activities of 30 monomers extracted from Morus alba L. (mulberry) against gastrointestinal cancers. Toxicological assessments revealed that most compounds, particularly immunotoxicity, exhibit some level toxicity, but it is generally not life-threatening under normal conditions. Among these components, Sanggenol L, Sanggenon C, Kuwanon H, 3′-Geranyl-3-prenyl-5,7,2′,4′-tetrahydroxyflavone, Morusinol, Mulberrin, Moracin P, E, and A demonstrate significant properties various cancers, including colon, pancreatic, gastric The mechanism chemical components was explored in cancer cells, revealing they inhibit cell cycle DNA replication-related gene expression, leading to effective suppression tumor growth. Additionally, induced unfolded protein response (UPR) endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, potentially resulting damage, autophagy, death. an active monomer characterized as 2-arylbenzofuran, found induce ER stress promote apoptosis confirming its potential growth vitro vivo. These findings highlight therapeutic especially focusing on P potent inducer apoptosis.
