Structural characteristics of CPS-1 were evaluated by SEM, HPGPC, HPAEC-PAD, FT-IR, and NMR. The results indicated CPS-1 was mainly composed of Ara, Gal, Glc, Xyl, Man, GalA and GlcA in a molar ratio of 1.232.140.670.20.290.160.04 with molecular weight of 3297 kDa. Combining with the results of FT-IR and NMR, it was inferred that CPS-1 was mainly possessed the five main linkages including α-D-Ara, α-D-Gal, α-D-Man, α-D-Xyl and β-D-Glc. Furthermore, MTT results exhibited that the IC50 value of CPS-1 for inhibitive effect on SPC-A-1 and MGC-803 cells for 24 h were 284.36 and 365.27 μg/mL, respectively. Microscopic observations showed that the cells exhibited significant apoptotic characteristics, such as cell shrinkage, the decreased of cell adherence and the appearance of apoptotic bodies. It was shown that CPS-1 had significant anti-tumor activity. In addition, the ability of CPS-1 to scavenge superoxide radical, ABTS and DPPH radicals was also enhanced with the increased of concentration. Therefore, it was revealed that CPS-1 might be used as a natural anticancer and antioxidant component.The severe effects of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) could not be ignored and they must be eliminated prior to their release to the environment. In this study, cellulosic sisal fibre was modified simultaneously by polypyrrole-polyaniline nanoparticles and it was employed as a cost-effective, non-toxic nano bio-composite for the elimination of ibuprofen. It was characterized by SEM, EDAX, FTIR, and XRD. Parameters were tested in the form of the one-factor-at-a-time method. These parameters were contact time, pH, initial ibuprofen concentration, adsorbent dosage, agitation speed, and temperature and the optimized conditions o
