Phaseolus multiflorus var. albus (Leguminosae), commonly known as “white kidney bean”, is a twining perennial vine whose fruit has been used as a popular food worldwide owing to its high nutritional content, in terms of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins.

Phaseolus multiflorus var. albus, also known as white kidney bean, is a twining perennial vine belonging to the family Leguminosae. It has been cultivated for many purposes worldwide, especially in China . Historically, leguminous plants have been popular worldwide because they are abundant in proteins (16–33%), minerals, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and phytoestrogens . Pharmacological studies of plants belonging to the genus Phaseolus have reported that its extracts exhibit various therapeutic properties, including antidiabetic , antiobesogenic , antiproliferative , antioxidant, and gastroprotective activities . In addition, previous studies on plants belonging to the genus Phaseolus have shown that their nutritional contents possess insecticidal, immunomodulatory, antitumor, and antifungal activities . Previous biological studies on P. multiflorus var. albus reported that white kidney bean (P. multiflorus var. albus) treatments induced glucose reduction and weight loss in a diabetes-induced mouse model compared to the control group . In this context, many clinical trials on the antiobesity effect of P. multiflorus var. albus have revealed that the ingestion of white kidney beans induces weight loss and waist circumference reduction . In a recent study, P. multiflorus var. albus extract showed dose-dependent inhibitory activity against α-amylase . Despite the health benefits of P. multiflorus var. albus extract, few studies have been carried out on its chemical constituents. Only a few previous phytochemical investigations of P. multiflorus have shown the presence of gibberellins A1, A5, A6, A8, and phaseic acid as plant hormones with growth-promoting activity
