Antitumor drugs used today have shown significant efficacy and are derived from natural products such as plants. Iso-mukaadial acetate (IMA) has previously been shown to possess anticancer properties by inducing apoptosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effect of IMA in the breast cancer xenograft mice model.

A series of novel 1,2,3-triazole and chiral Schiff base hybrids 2-6 were synthesized by Schiff base condensation reaction from pre-prepared parent component of the hybrids (1,2,3-triazole 1) and series of primary chiral amines and their chemical structure were confirmed using NMR and FTIR spectroscopies, and CHN elemental analysis. Compounds 1-6 were evaluated for their anticancer activity against two cancer PC3 (prostate) and A375 (skin) and MRC-5 (healthy) cell lines by Almar Blue assay method. The compounds exhibited significant cytotoxicity against the tested cancer cell lines.

A Gram-stain-positive, endospore-forming endophytic bacterial strain designated MHSD28 was isolated from surface-sterilized leaves of collected from Eisleben, Botlokwa, Limpopo Province, South Africa. The phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics of strain MHSD28 were consistent with those of members within the group. Comparative analysis between this strain and its relatives confirmed that it belongs to this group and forms a monophyletic branch.
