Objective: To study the chemical constituents in seeds of Cicer arietinum, so that to find bioactive natural products.

Method: Dried and sprouted seeds of C. arietinum were extracted with ethanol of various concentrations respectively, then isolated and purified by silica gel, macroreticular resin D 101, Sephadex LH -20 gel column chromatography, and structures of compounds were identified by spectral analysis.

Result: Nine compounds have been isolated and identified: 3-hydroxy-olean-12-ene (1), biochanin A-7-O-beta-D-glucoside (2), cerebroside (3), 1-ethyl-alpha-L-galactoside (4), uridine (5), adenosine (6), trytophan (7), biochanin A (8), fomononetin (9).

Conclusion: Compounds 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 were isolated from genus Cicer for the first time.

Single-point mutations are pivotal in molecular zoology, shaping functions and influencing genetic diversity and evolution. Here we study three such genetic variants of a mechano-responsive protein, cadherin-23, that uphold the structural integrity of the protein, but showcase distinct genotypes and phenotypes. The variants exhibit subtle differences in transient intra-domain interactions, which in turn affect the anti-correlated motions among the constituent β-strands.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent malignant tumor, ranking fifth in terms of fatality with poor prognosis and a low survival rate. Rhoifolin (ROF), a flavonoid constituent, has previously been shown to suppress the proliferation of breast and pancreatic cancer cells. However, its inhibitory effect on HCC has remained unexplored.
