Three new ent-kaurane type diterpenes, broussonetones A-C (1-3), were isolated from leaves of Broussonetia papyrifera, together with seven known compounds, and their structures determined by 1D and 2D NMR and MS methods. Compounds 1-3 were marginal inhibitors of tyrosinase. Antioxidant assays showed them also to be inhibitors of xanthine oxidase. The mild inhibition of tyrosinase and significant inhibition of xanthine oxidase suggests that 1-3 could be useful ingredients in the development of skin-protecting cosmetics.

Paper Mulberry () possesses medicinal, economic, and ecological significance and is extensively used for feed production, papermaking, and ecological restoration due to its ease of propagation, rapid growth rate, and strong stress resistance. The recent completion of the sequencing of the Paper Mulberry genome has prompted further research into the genetic breeding and molecular biology of this important species. A highly stable reference gene is essential to enhance the quantitative analysis of functional genes in Paper Mulberry; however, none has been identified.
