Article Abstract
Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell growth, invasive capacity, and metastatic potential. Despite the continual progress in cancer treatment, high toxicity and resistance to therapy remain recurring challenges. Croton grewioides Baill. is a plant from the brazilian semi-arid region with significant pharmacological potential due to its reported antidiarrheal, antioxidant, and antitumor properties. This study evaluated the antitumor activity of the essential oil from C. grewioides leaves (CgEO) by in vitro assays. CgEO showed higher cytotoxicity in human melanoma cells (SK-MEL-28), with a 50 % inhibitory concentration (IC) of 70.0 μg/mL after 72 h, but with low toxicity in healthy keratinocytes (HaCaT). Additionally, it was suggested that the antitumor effect of CgEO is associated with the induction of apoptosis, cell cycle alterations, and combined antioxidant action mechanisms. In conclusion, CgEO exhibits antitumor activity with lower toxicity in non-tumor cells.

Adipic acid is an essential platform molecule for polymer production and is industrially manufactured by thermochemical oxidation of the cyclohexanone/cyclohexanol mixture (KA oil). Alternatively, electrifying provides a green and sustainable route to synthesizing adipic acid, but has been restricted by the low catalytic efficiency. Herein, we report that a nickel hydroxide electrocatalyst functionalized with 4,4'-bipyridine (Bipy-Ni(OH)) delivers a 3-fold greater productivity compared with that of pristine Ni(OH), achieving an excellent yield (90%) towards efficient adipic acid electrosynthesis.

Air pollution is a critical threat to human health and the quality of life in large cities. In this work, we electrically characterized indoor air quality in Dhaka City with a microcontroller-based advanced sensing system in the presence of 60 air purifiers. We conducted LabVIEW-controlled, fully automated, and remotely operated experiments to precisely monitor, store, and analyze the air-purifying effects in the concentrations of air quality index (AQI) parametersPM2.
