Abstract
The present study describes the synthesis of CeO2-NiO nanoflakes (CeNiO-NFs) via solution process in a very short time span and it was utilized for to control the growth against liver and breast cancer cells. The processed nanocomposites were characterized with several instruments such as of their physicochemical characteristics such as XRD, FT-IR, TGA/DTG/DSC, DLS, BET, SEM-EDX, TEM and UV-visible spectrophotometer respectively. The acquired results are in full justification with the physical data and it suggests that the formed CeO2-NiO nanocomposite is in nanoflakes shaped (similar to 20-25 nm). Moreover, anticancer activity of CeNiO-NFs was investigated through MTT and NRU assays for liver (HepG2) and breast (MCF7) cancer cells. The results demonstrated that it exhibited dose -dependent cytotoxic effects in the range of 1-100 mu g/mL and revealed a reduction in their cell viability in response from low and high concentration of CeNiO-NFs.
