    his is a short report on the recent investigation on the anticancer and antioxidant potential
    of Pseuduvaria macrophylla stem bark and leaf extract on human breast cancer cell (MCF-7), human
    prostate cancer cell (PC-3) and human colon cancer cell (HT29). LCMS experiment was done to
    identify the chemical composition in the methanolic extracts while GCMS analysis was done to
    determine the chemical composition in the hexanolic extracts. For antioxidant activity, the most active
    extract was leaf methanolic with 69.22 % of DPPH inhibition. Additionally, the leaf methanolic extract
    inhibited the better proliferation especially on human breast cancer cell (MCF-7) compared to hexane
    crude extracts due to more than 90% of cancer cell death and lowest IC50 value at range of 80.70
    µg/mL ± 0.08 – 106.70 µg/mL ± 0.07. The major detected compounds were α-Cadinol, neophytadiene,
    palmitic acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid and isopolycerasoidal and isopolycerasoidal methyl ester. The
    findings of this study support the anti-cancer claims of Pseuduvaria macrophylla leaf. Copyright© 2016

    A new effective RF tar thermocatalytic treatment process with low energy intensive has been proposed to remove tar from biomass gasification. Toluene and naphthalene as biomass tar model compounds were removed via both thermal and catalytic treatment over a wide temperature range from 850 °C to 1200 °C and 450 °C to 900 °C, respectively at residence time of 0-0.7 s. Thermal characteristics of the new technique are also described in this paper. This study clearly clarified that toluene was much easier to be removed than naphthalene. Soot was found as the final product of thermal treatment of the tar model and completely removed during catalytic treatment. Radical reactions generated by RF non-thermal effect improve the tar removal. The study showed that Y-zeolite has better catalytic activity compared to dolomite on toluene and naphthalene removal due to its acidic nature and large surface area, even at lower reaction temperature of about 550 °C.
