In vivo antitumor potential of Ipomoea pes-caprae on melanoma cancer

Abstract: Background: The incidence of skin cancers is rising gradually. The treatment of melanoma is also necessary to prevent the spread of cancer to other body organs. Scientific literatures have not documented any evidence of the antitumor potential of Ipomoea pes-caprae on melanoma. Aim of the Study: Explore in vivo antitumor potential of I. pes-caprae on melanoma cancer. Materials and Methods: Petroleum ether (60°C-80°C), methanolic and aqueous extracts, and swaras prepared from the whole herb of I. pes-caprae were assessed for their antitumor activity. The extracts and swaras at doses of 25 and 50 mg/kg b. wt. were administered intraperitoneal along with chemo and radiotherapy for 40 days for exploring antitumor activity against melanoma cancer (B16F10) in male C57BL mice. The results obtained from tumor volume, and histopathological studies were compared with the control and dacarbazine used as a standard. Results: Antitumor effect of I. pes-caprae extracts and swaras on melanoma cancer was found to be significant ( P Conclusion: The results obtained from the tumor volume and histopathological studies clearly revealed the antitumor potential of I. pes-caprae on melanoma cancer.

Fabrication of hierarchically mesoporous CuO nanostructures and their role as heterogenous catalysts and sensors

Abstract: Tween-80 templated mesoporous CuO (mpCuO) nanostructures were explored via a facile, environmentally friendly and scalable sol–gel route for heterogeneous catalysis and sensor technology. Silica nanoparticles (Si-NPs) were used as structural directing agents (SDAs) for the shape selective morphological changes of porous materials which resulted in the fabrication of nanoflowers of CuO/Si-NPs along with a great change in surface area. The mpCuO nanostructures were well characterized by FTIR, TGA, PXRD, FESEM-EDX, TEM, BET techniques. Interestingly, the as-synthesized mpCuO nanostructures showed excellent catalytic activity against the direct hydrogenation of acetone to isopropanol in the presence of sodium borohydride (NaBH4). In addition, mpCuO nanostructures have proved to be excellent sensor materials for simultaneous detection of some metals and biomolecules.
