Clementine ultraviolet-visible (UVVIS) data are used to examine the compositions of 18 pyroclastic deposits (15 small, three large) at 13 sites on the Moon. Compositional variations among pyroclastic deposits largely result from differing amounts of new basaltic (or juvenile) matehal and reworked local matehal entrained in their ejecta upon eruption. Characterization of pyroclastic deposit comp...

THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 11β-hydr-oxy-24,25-ep-oxy-3,16-oxo-protost-13 (17)-en-23-yl acetate], C(32)H(48)O(6), a protostane-type triterpenoid, was isolated from the Chinese herbal medicine alismatis rhizoma (the rhizome of Alisma orientalis Juzep).

However, its effect on human colon cancer and the underlying mechanism are not clear. Here, we reported for the first time that AB23A induced cell cycle G1 phase arrest and apoptotic cell death in colon cancer cells. Auto...
