Cancer is a life-threatening disease and is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Although many drugs are available for the treatment of cancer, survival outcomes are very low. Hence, rapid development of newer anticancer agents is a prime focus of the medicinal chemistry community. Since the recent past, computational methods have been extensively employed for accelerating the drug discovery process. In view of this, in the present study we performed 2D-QSAR (Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship) analysis of a series of compounds reported with potential anticancer activity against breast cancer cell line MCF7 using QSARINS software. The best four models exhibited a r2 value of 0.99. From the generated QSAR equations, a series of pyrimidine-coumarin-triazole conjugates were designed and their MCF7 cell inhibitory activities were predicted using the QSAR equations. Furthermore, molecular docking studies were carried out for the designed compounds using AutoDock Vina against dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), colchicine and vinblastine binding sites of tubulin, the key enzyme targets in breast cancer. The most active compounds identified through these computational studies will be useful for synthesizing and testing them as prospective novel anti-breast cancer agents. 相似文献

In this study, synthesis, structural characterization, molecular docking studies, and antiproliferative effects in four different cell lines of several novel 16-arylidene-4-azaandrost-5-ene compounds are reported. These compounds were prepared by oxidative cleavage of the enone system of androstenedione followed by an azacyclization reaction and an aldol condensation with various aldehydes at C16. In the androgen-dependent LNCaP cells, the most relevant antiproliferative effects were observed with the 16-phenyl, 16-p-tolyl, and 16-p-nitrophenyl derivatives. Compound 16E-[(4-methylphenyl)methylidene]-4-azaandrost-5-ene-3,17-dione was the most potent in these cells (IC50 = 28.28 μM), having lower antiproliferative effects in the androgen-independent PC-3 cells (IC50 = 45.31 μM). In addition, an interesting selectivity toward cancer cell lines was found for all compounds because a generally low cytotoxicity was detected in healthy human fibroblasts. Furthermore, the 16-p-tolylazaandrostene steroid induced a reduction of viability in LNCaP cells similar to that observed with finasteride, a clinically used 5α-reductase inhibitor. Moreover, molecular docking studies predicted that these 4-azaandrostene derivatives can interact with 5β-reductase, which has a high level of similarity to 5α-reductase enzyme, and with other common targets of steroidal drugs, particularly the enzyme 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase. 相似文献

The present work describes the chemical preparation of Schiff bases derived from 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (L1–L5) and their Co(II) metal complexes. The evaluation of antimicrobial and anticancer activities against MCF-7 cell line and human lung cancer cell line A-549 was performed. The aforementioned synthesized compounds are characterized by spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis confirms successful synthesis. The results from the above analytical techniques revealed that the complexes are in an octahedral geometry. The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized Schiff base ligands and their metal complexes under study was carried out by using the agar well diffusion method. The ligand and complex interactions for biological targets were predicted using molecular docking and high binding affinities. Further, the anticancer properties of the synthesized compounds are performed against the MCF-7 cell line and human lung cancer cell line A-549 using adriamycin as the standard drug. 相似文献

In order to overcome the limitations of conventional therapeutic systems in the treatment of cancer, nanoparticles (NPs) have been rapidly produced and developed as a separate treatment method for control of cancer. Synthesis of nanoparticles using plant-based materials (green synthesis), due to the easy and cost-effective synthesis, production of non-toxic, sustainable and environmentally friendly products, can be considered the most appropriate method for preparation of NPs. In this study, after synthesis of Bi2O3 NPs using Ginger (Zingiber officinale) root (rhizome) extract, the synthesized NPs were characterized and their potential application as selective anticancer agents against HCT116 colorectal cancer cells was evaluated through regulation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, whereas the human kidney (HK-2) cells were used as normal cells. FTIR analysis showed a band at 673 cm?1 attributed to Bi-O vibration with a fingerprint region at 1291 cm?1 demonstrating the attachment of the organic molecules to the synthesized Bi2O3 NPs. UV–visible study showed a λmax of around 268 nm, whereas XRD analysis showed eight clear peaks, demonetizing the crystalline phase of synthesized Bi2O3 NPs. TEM analysis showed that spherical-shaped Bi2O3 NPs have a size range of 20–50 nm with a man size of around 35 nm. Finally, DLS analysis determined that Bi2O3 NPs have a hydrodynamic size of about 71.19 nm (PDI of 0.179) and a zeta potential value of ?44.39 mV, revealing the good colloidal stability of NPs. Cellular assays (MTT, LDH, flow cytometry, and RT-qPCR) showed that synthesized Bi2O3 NPs selectively induced anticancer effects against HCT116 colorectal cancer cells through membrane leakage, generation of ROS, induction of apoptosis via dysregulation of Bax, Bcl-2 and caspase-3 at mRNA level mediated via regulation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. In conclusion, it may be suggested that the presence study could provide useful information for the potential anticancer effects mediated by synthesized Bi2O3 NPs in vitro, although further studies, including in vivo studies and clinical trials, are needed to support our findings. 相似文献

Objectives: The toxicity of chemotherapeutic anticancer drugs is a serious issue in clinics. Drug discovery from edible and medicinal plants represents a promising approach towards finding safer anticancer therapeutics. Justicia insularis T. Anderson (Acanthaceae) is an edible and medicinal plant in Nigeria. This study aims to discover cytotoxic compounds from this rarely explored J. insularis and investigate their underlying mechanism of action. Methods: The cytotoxicity of the plant extract was evaluated in human ovarian cancer cell lines and normal human ovarian surface epithelia (HOE) cells using a sulforhodamine B assay. Bioassay-guided isolation was carried out using column chromatography including HPLC, and the isolated natural products were characterized using GC-MS, LC-HRMS, and 1D/2D NMR techniques. Induction of apoptosis was evaluated using Caspase 3/7, 8, and 9, and Annexin V and PI based flow cytometry assays. SwissADME and SwissTargetPrediction web tools were used to predict the molecular properties and possible protein targets of identified active compounds. Key finding: The two cytotoxic compounds were identified as clerodane diterpenoids: 16(α/β)-hydroxy-cleroda-3,13(14)Z-dien-15,16-olide (1) and 16-oxo-cleroda-3,13(14)E-dien-15-oic acid (2) from the Acanthaceous plant for the first time. Compound 1 was a very abundant compound (0.7% per dry weight of plant material) and was shown to be more potent than compound 2 with IC50 values in the micromolar range against OVCAR-4 and OVCAR-8 cancer cells. Compounds 1 and 2 were less cytotoxic to HOE cell line. Both compounds induced apoptosis by increasing caspase 3/7 activities in a concentration dependent manner. Compound 1 further increased caspase 8 and 9 activities and apoptosis cell populations. Compounds 1 and 2 are both drug like, and compound 1 may target various proteins including a kinase. Conclusions: Clerodane diterpenoids (1 and 2) in J. insularis were identified as cytotoxic to ovarian cancer cells via the induction of apoptosis, providing an abundant and valuable source of hit compounds for the treatment of ovarian cancer. 相似文献

A key hallmark of many aggressive cancers is accelerated glucose metabolism. The enzymes that catalyze the first step of glucose metabolism are hexokinases. Elevated levels of hexokinase 2 (HK2) are found in cancer cells, but only in a limited number of normal tissues. Metabolic reprogramming of cancer cells using the energy blocker 3-bromopyruvate (3-BP), which inhibits HK2, has the potential to provide tumor-specific anticancer agents. However, the unique structural and functional characteristics of mitochondria prohibit selective subcellular targeting of 3-BP to modulate the function of this organelle for therapeutic gain. A mitochondria-targeted gold nanoparticle (T-3-BP-AuNP), decorated with 3-BP and delocalized lipophilic triphenylphosphonium cations to target the mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψ
m), was developed for delivery of 3-BP to cancer cell mitochondria by taking advantage of the higher Δψ
m in cancer cells compared to normal cells. In vitro studies demonstrated an enhanced anticancer activity of T-3-BP-AuNPs compared to the non-targeted construct NT-3-BP-AuNP or free 3-BP. The anticancer activity of T-3-BP-AuNPs was further enhanced upon laser irradiation by exciting the surface plasmon resonance band of AuNP and thereby utilizing a combination of 3-BP chemotherapeutic and AuNP photothermal effects. The lower toxicity of T-3-BP-NPs in normal mesenchymal stem cells indicated that these NPs preferentially kill cancer cells. T-3-BP-AuNPs showed an enhanced ability to modulate cancer cell metabolism by inhibiting glycolysis as well as demolishing mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Our findings demonstrate that concerted chemo-photothermal treatment of glycolytic cancer cells with a single NP capable of targeting mitochondria, mediating simultaneous release of a glycolytic inhibitor and photothermal ablation, may have promise as a new anticancer therapy. 相似文献

The naturally occurring neocryptolepine (5-Methylindolo [2,3-b]quinoline) and its analogs exhibited prominent anticancer and antimalarial activity. However, the main problem of this class of compounds is their poor aqueous solubility, hampering their bioavailability and preventing their clinical development. To overcome the problem of insolubility and to improve the physicochemical and the pharmacological properties of 5-Methylindolo [2,3-b]quinoline compounds, this work was designed to encapsulate such efficient medical compounds into mesoporous silica oxide nanoemulsion (SiO2NPs). Thus, in this study, SiO2NPs was loaded with three different concentrations (0.2 g, 0.3, and 0.6 g) of 7b (denoted as NPA). The findings illustrated that the nanoparticles were formed with a spherical shape and exhibited small size (less than 500 nm) using a high concentration of the synthesized chemical compound (NPA, 0.6 g) and good stabilization against agglomeration (more than −30 mv). In addition, NPA-loaded SiO2NPs had no phase separation as observed by our naked eyes even after 30 days. The findings also revealed that the fabricated SiO2NPs could sustain the release of NPA at two different pH levels, 4.5 and 7.4. Additionally, the cell viability of the produced nanoemulsion system loaded with different concentrations of NPA was greater than SiO2NPs without loading, affirming that NPA had a positive impact on increasing the safety and cell viability of the whole nanoemulsion. Based on these obtained promising data, it can be considered that the prepared NPA-loaded SiO2NPs seem to have the potential for use as an effective anticancer drug nanosystem. 相似文献

1,4-Dihydropyridine is a privileged scaffold present in many bioactive molecules, from coenzymes to commercially available drugs. Among other interesting properties, it has been found good anticancer activity in some of these 1,4-DHPs, therefore many research groups are trying to develop new compounds based on this structural core.For this purpose, in this work, a family of 23 new 1,4-dihydropyridines has been synthesized using hydrazide and malononitrile derivatives as precursors. This straightforward catalytic process has given rise to the desired products with moderate to excellent yields. All the compounds have been tested against four different cancer cell lines [HeLa (human cervical carcinoma), Jurkat (leukemia), A549 (human lung cancer) and MIA PaCa-2 (pancreatic cancer)] to establish a preliminary structure–activity relationship. From this study, and among the best candidates, we chose 4-chlorophenyl and 4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl derivatives in the malononitrile ring to synthesize a second generation of molecules with enhanced cytotoxicity, modifying the substituent in the N-heterocyclic position (acylhydrazine moieties). With this second generation of compounds, we successfully decreased the IC50 until 7 µM.An in-depth analysis of their biological properties suggests that these promising compounds trigger a non-conventional cell death mechanism known as paraptosis. Moreover, the tested photophysical properties of these products show in some cases an interesting long wavelength emission and excitation, potentially leading to new biosensors or theragnostic agents.Finally, in vivo assays concerning the acute toxicity in mice of two of the most active compounds (with an alkyl chain of seven carbon atoms in the acylhydrazine moiety) demonstrated that even dosed at thousands fold the corresponding IC50 values (2500 and 3300 times more concentrated than the IC50 values for the two compounds studied), there was no sign of harmful effects on the tested subjects, results that support their use in further studies to discover new anticancer drugs. 相似文献

Background/AimMain objective of this study is mapping of the anticancer efficacy of synthesized gallic acid analogues using modeling and artificial intelligence (AI) over a large range of concentrations and exposure times to explore the underline mechanisms of drug action and draw careful inferences regarding drug response heterogeneity.MethodsTwo series of gallic acid derivatives i.e. esters and amides have been synthesized and characterized by FTIR, NMR and mass spectrometry. The compounds have been tested in vitro for their anticancer activity against wild type human ovarian cancer cell line A2780, prostate cancer cell line PC3 and normal human fibroblast cells 3T3. To completely characterize optimal anticancer activity, a comprehensive model using piecewise recursive Hill model is used to quantitatively assess the in vitro anticancer effect of the tested compounds as a function of concentration and exposure time for periods ranging from 24 to 72 h. A robust artificial intelligence approach i.e. the “Support Vector Machine (SVM) Learning Algorithm” is adopted to utilize the data obtained at different temporal values, to identify compounds that trail forecasting algorithm.ResultsAll the synthesized analogues were found biocompatible. Significantly low EC50 values indicated that tested compounds have potent anticancer activity against A2780 cell line in comparison to PC3 cells where only few compounds generated same impact at almost 200 times high dose. On the basis of EC50 values, compounds 7 h, 7 m, 9c, 9b, 7c, 7b and 7 g were identified as the most active anticancer agent against A2780. Three major patterns of drug response heterogeneity were observed for different compounds in the form of multiple Hill graphs and shallow slopes. The anticancer efficiency of the compounds was verified using Machine learning SVM regression learner algorithm. For compounds 7a, 7b, 7e, 7 g, 7o, 7 r, 9b, 9e-9 g higher accuracy was found in predicted and experimentally obtained end point potency in terms of % viability.ConclusionsPharmacodynamics modeling of anticancer potential of the synthesized compounds revealed that drug efficacy and response heterogeneity could be modulated by changing the exposure time to optimize therapeutic impact. Combining experimental results with AI based drug action forecasting, compounds 7b, 7 g, and 9b may be tested further as potent anticancer agent for in vivo studies. This approach may serve a useful tool for extrapolation of in vitro results for generating lead compounds in in vivo and preclinical studies. 相似文献

At high altitudes, drops in oxygen concentration result in the creation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), which cause a variety of health concerns. We addressed these health concerns and reported the synthesis, characterization, and biological activities of a series of 10 oxoquinolines. N-Aryl-7-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-oxoquinoline-1(2H)carboxamides (5a–j) were accessed in two steps under ultrasonicated irradiation, as per the reported method. The anticancer activity was tested at 10 µM against a total of 5 dozen cancer cell lines obtained from nine distinct panels, as per the National Cancer Institute (NCI US) protocol. The compounds 5a (TK-10 (renal cancer); %GI = 82.90) and 5j (CCRF-CEM (Leukemia); %GI = 58.61) showed the most promising anticancer activity. Compound 5a also demonstrated promising DPPH free radical scavenging activity with an IC50 value of 14.16 ± 0.42 µM. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and carbonic anhydrase (CA), two prospective cancer inhibitor targets, were used in the molecular docking studies. Molecular docking studies of ligand 5a (docking score = −8.839) against the active site of EGFR revealed two H-bond interactions with the residues Asp855 and Thr854, whereas ligand 5a (docking = −5.337) interacted with three H-bond with the residues Gln92, Gln67, and Thr200 against the active site CA. The reported compounds exhibited significant anticancer and antioxidant activities, as well as displayed significant inhibition against cancer targets, EGFR and CA, in the molecular docking studies. The current discovery may aid in the development of novel compounds for the treatment of cancer and oxidative stress, and other high altitude-related disorders. 相似文献

A novel series of isatin hybrids 5a-g was designed, synthesized, and characterized spectroscopically. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against the human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) by in vitro MTT assay. Amongst the tested compounds, 5e compound bearing benzyl moiety at N4 piperazine was found to be the most active with the promising IC50 (12.47 µM). Moreover, the active compounds 5e and 5g were subjected to antitumor evaluation (in vivo) against Dalton’s ascitic lymphoma (DAL) cell line and the results suggested that the best active compound 5e can normalize the blood picture in comparison to the standard drug. An in silico molecular docking study using the crystal structure of Hsp90 protein described the role of significant protein–ligand interactions and revealed more insights into the binding mode. The drug-likeliness of the compounds was predicted based on Lipinski's rule of five and pharmacokinetic ADME parameters. Hence, the synthesized isatin hybrids could be novel starting point anticancer lead compounds demonstrating drug-like properties which can be explored further for anticancer drug discovery. 相似文献

Medicinal plants play important role in the public health sector worldwide. Natural products from medicinal plants are sources of unlimited opportunities for new drug leads because of their unique chemical diversity. Researchers have focused on exploring herbal products as potential sources for the treatment of cancer, cardiac and infectious diseases. Arisaema flavum (Forssk.) is an important medicinal plant found in the northwest Himalayan regions of Pakistan. It is a poisonous plant and is used as a remedy against snake bites and scorpion stings. In this study, two bioactive compounds were isolated from Arisaema flavum (Forssk.) and their anticancer activity was evaluated against human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 using an MTT assay. The crude extract of Arisaema flavum (Forssk.) was subjected to fractionation using different organic solvents in increasing order of polarity. The fraction indicating maximum activity was then taken for isolation of bioactive compounds using various chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques such as column chromatography, thin-layer chromatography (TLC), gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). Crude extract of Arisaema flavum (Forssk.), as well as various fractions extracted in different solvents such as n-hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate, were tested against human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 using an MTT assay. The crude extract exhibited significant dose-dependent anticancer activity with a maximum activity of 78.6% at 500 µg/mL concentration. Two compounds, hexadecanoic acid ethyl ester with molecular formula C18H36O7 and molar mass 284 and 5-Oxo-19 propyl-docosanoic acid methyl ester with molecular formula C26H50O3 and molecular mass 410, were isolated from chloroform fraction. These compounds were tested against the MCF-7cell line for cytotoxic activity and exhibited a significant (p < 0.00l) decrease in cell numbers for MCF-7 cells with IC50 of 25 µM after 48 h of treatment. Results indicated that Arisaema flavum (Forssk.) possesses compounds with cytotoxic activity that can further be exploited to develop anticancer formulations. 相似文献

P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is a plasma membrane efflux transporter belonging to ATP-binding cassette superfamily, responsible for multidrug resistance in tumor cells. Over-expression of P-gp in cancer cells limits the efficacy of many anticancer drugs. A clear understanding of P-gp substrate binding will be advantageous in early drug discovery process. However, substrate poly-specificity of P-gp is a limiting factor in rational drug design. In this investigation, we report a dynamic trans-membrane model of P-gp that accurately identified the substrate binding residues of known anticancer agents. The study included homology modeling of human P-gp based on the crystal structure of C. elegans P-gp, molecular docking, molecular dynamics analyses and binding free energy calculations. The model was further utilized to speculate substrate propensity of in-house anticancer compounds. The model demonstrated promising results with one anticancer compound (NSC745689). As per our observations, the molecule could be a potential lead for anticancer agents devoid of P-gp mediated multiple drug resistance. The in silico results were further validated experimentally using Caco-2 cell lines studies, where NSC745689 exhibited poor permeability (P app 1.03 ± 0.16 × 10?6 cm/s) and low efflux ratio of 0.26. 相似文献

Intracellular targeting has the same potential as tissue targeting to increase therapy efficacy, especially for drugs that are toxic to DNA. By adjusting intracellular traffic, we developed a novel direct‐nucleus‐delivery platform based on C5N2 nanoparticles (NPs). Supramolecular interactions of C5N2 NPs with the cell membrane enhanced cell uptake; abundant edge amino groups promoted fast and effective rupture of early endosomes; and the appropriate size of the NPs was also crucial for size‐dependent nuclear entry. As a proof of concept, the platform was not only suitable for the effective delivery of molecular drugs/dyes (doxorubicin, hydroxycamptothecine, and propidium iodide) and MnO2 nanoparticles to the nucleus, but was also photoresponsive for nucleus‐targeting photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) to further greatly increase anticancer efficacy. This strategy might open the door to a new generation of nuclear‐targeted enhanced anticancer therapy. 相似文献

Heliangolide-type sesquiterpene lactones (HTSLs) are phytocompounds with several pharmacological activities including cytotoxic and antitumor activity. Both bioactivities are related to an α-methylene-γ-lactone moiety and an ester group on carbon C-8 in the sesquiterpene lactone (SL) structure. Two HTSLs, incomptines A (AI) and B (IB) isolated from Decachaeta incompta, were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity on three leukemia cell lines: HL-60, K-562, and REH cells. Both compounds were subjected to a molecular docking study using target proteins associated with cancer such as topoisomerase IIα, topoisomerase IIβ, dihydrofolate reductase, methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, and Bcl-2-related protein A1. Results show that IA and IB exhibit cytotoxic activity against all cell lines used. The CC50 value of IA was 2–4-fold less than etoposide and methotrexate, two anticancer drugs used as positive controls. The cytotoxic activity of IB was close to that of etoposide and methotrexate. The molecular docking analysis showed that IA and IB have important interaction on all targets used. These findings suggest that IA and IB may serve as scaffolds for the development of new treatments for different types of leukemia. 相似文献

Diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY) can be used to analyze mixtures of compounds since resonances deriving from different compounds are distinguished by their diffusion coefficients (D). Previously, DOSY has mostly been used for organometallic and polymer analysis, we have now applied DOSY to investigate diffusion coefficients of structurally diverse organic compounds such as natural products (NP). The experimental Ds derived from 55 diverse NPs has allowed us to establish a power law relationship between D and molecular weight (MW) and therefore predict MW from experimental D. We have shown that D is also affected by factors such as hydrogen bonding, molar density and molecular shape of the compound and we have generated new models that incorporate experimentally derived variables for these factors so that more accurate predictions of MW can be calculated from experimental D. The recognition that multiple physicochemical properties affect D has allowed us to generate a polynomial equation based on multiple linear regression analysis of eight calculated physicochemical properties from 63 compounds to accurately correlate predicted D with experimental D for any known organic compound. This equation has been used to calculate predicted D for 217 043 compounds present in a publicly available natural product database (DEREP-NP) and to dereplicate known NPs in a mixture based on matching of experimental D and structural features derived from NMR analysis with predicted D and calculated structural features in the database. These models have been validated by the dereplication of a mixture of two known sesquiterpenes obtained from Tasmannia xerophila and the identification of new alkaloids from the bryozoan Amathia lamourouxi. These new methodologies allow the MW of compounds in mixtures to be predicted without the need for MS analysis, the dereplication of known compounds and identification of new compounds based solely on parameters derived by DOSY NMR.We report accurate DOSY NMR based molecular weight and diffusion coefficient prediction tools. These tools can be used to dereplicate known natural products from databases using structurally rich NMR data as a surrogate for mass spectrometric data. 相似文献

We have recently explored novel class of potentially anti-breast cancer active enamidines in which four molecules 4a-c and 4h showed higher anticancer activity compared to standard drug doxorubicin. As a part of extension of this work, we have further evaluated in silico cheminformatic studies on bioactivity prediction of synthesized series of enamidines using mole information. The normal cell line study of four lead compounds 4a-c and 4h against African green monkey kidney vero strain further revealed that the compounds complemented good selectivity in inhibition of cancer cells. The in silico bioactivity and molecular docking studies also revealed that the compounds have significant interactions with the drug targets. The results reveal that enamidine moieties are vital for anti-breast cancer activity as they possess excellent drug-like characteristics, being potentially good inhibitors of cyclin dependent kinases7 (CDK7). 相似文献

In this study, ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by a hydro/solvothermal method, and their structures were characterized by infrared, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses. These ZnFe2O4 NPs were used in the synthesis of new bis-Schiff bases by condensation of hydroxyl-substituted aldehydes with various aromatic diamines in aqueous media. The antimicrobial activities of the synthesized bis-Schiff bases were tested against gram-negative as well as gram-positive bacteria. The MTT method was used to assess the anticancer activity of the bis-Schiff bases towards human lung and breast cancer cell lines. The results indicated that these compounds could be considered as new anti-tumor candidates. 相似文献

In this present study, photocatalytic and in-vitro biological properties of biogenic preparation of husked rice-shaped iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe2O3 NPs) are investigated. Fe2O3 NPs have been prepared by the reduction of iron chloride (FeCl3) using coconut pulp (Cocos nucifera L.) extract. The Fe2O3 NPs were characterized by various analytical techniques such as FE-SEM, TEM, XRD, FT-IR, TGA, VSM, PL, and UV-DRS. Based on the characterization results, the as-prepared Fe2O3 NPs are in husked rice shape and exhibit rhombohedral crystal phase and also show an excellent stability. The prepared Fe2O3 NPs was investigated as a catalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B solution. The photocatalytic results indicated that the Fe2O3 NPs catalyst possesses good activity with efficiency of 92% after 50 min under visible-light irradiation. In addition, the Fe2O3 NPs showed good antibacterial and anticancer properties against Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive, Staphylococcus aureus and HepG2 cell lines, resulting in effective antibacterial and anticancer activity. The prepared Fe2O3 NPs, thus, proved to be a potential material for environmental remediation and biological applications. 相似文献
