First Iraqi attempt to study drug used for prostate cancer treatment (Abiraterone) that hypothetically reacted with known chemicals classified as Anticancer drug: Tirapazamine (T) and 5-Fluorouracil (F), food additive and preservative: Butylated Hydroxy Toluene (B) and Ethoxyquin (E), and sweeteners: P-4000 (P), Sodium Cyclamate (CS), Alitame (AT), and Saccharin (SA). The second step in this work was computational study of all reactants and the formed products having newly ether, amine, and carboxylic acid ester, and sulphonate bonds by online websites. Taste, toxicity, and ADMET were calculated by three online websites related to Charite University of Medicine, Institute for Physiology, Germany and University of Melbourne, Australia. SMILES of the reactants were obtained from National Library of Medicine/ National Center for Biotechnology Information websites while products were drawn by the molecular editor CS ChemDraw Ultra and rechecked by MarvinSketch program. This in Silico study showed various results of the formed products compared to Abiraterone (A) that predicated it as sour chemical belongs to Class 4 as a harmful substance if swallowed. Abiraterone (A) toxicity on liver organ was 61% probability percentage as hepatotoxicity while carcinogenicity, Immunotoxicity, Mutagenicity, cytotoxicity, AhR, AR, Aromatase, ER, HSE, and p53 were more than 70 % to bind Progesterone or Androgen. Also, Abiraterone (A) has a poor water solubility leading to high intestinal absorption, moderate total clearance, and giving inhibition reaction to Cytochrome P450 type CYP2C19, hERG II, and Ames test. These results confirmed that Abiraterone is structurally less harmful acute class with highly chance to interact with cell components resulting lethal response. All Abiraterone hypothetical products had a harmful reaction if swelled (Class 4), sour taste. All toxicological characters may be highly affected by its water solubility and intestinal absorption towards CNS, BBB, and CaCO2 permeability, skin sensation, and Ames test issues. For example, this in Silico- QSAR foundations about Abiraterone – Saccharin (A-SA) suggest that A-SA is structurally safe and there are several possibilities of becoming an active–multiple toxicological compound.
In this paper, a new efficient extraction tool of bioactives from plant parts was designed, applied, and compared with Soxhlet apparatus. This tool was a Quickfit®- Pyrex® glass tube perforated easily inserted in round flask containing solvent. Clove buds in both non-grinded and grinded form were analyzed by GC-Mass. Our observations were gotten from designing and using perforated tube compared to Soxhlet apparatus for Clove buds’ extraction. It is a simplest tool in designing and handling than Soxhlet apparatus that ensured more contact between Clove buds in their bag and used solvent than Soxhlet. Employing bag sewed from face mask is low cost than high quality Soxhlet - cellulose thimble. Furthermore, this sewed bag can be discharged from its content, cleaned, and reused but expensive cellulose thimble is made for one use. Perforated tube presents a good choice for efficient-short extraction time, minimum sample weight and solvent volume resulting higher quantity of Clove bioactives compared to Soxhlet. By analytical foundations, using grinded Clove gave different qualitative-quantitative analysis of the tested bioactives in the extracted solution compared to non- grinded buds. Eugenol was the major constituent in non- grinded buds while grinded powder gave 2-methoxy-3-(2-propenyl)-phenol as a maximal bioactive. This new tool may be used with less solvent quantity for better continuous extraction series however Soxhlet must be used with more than half flask volume to get fast-efficient extraction. Also, Soxhlet needs direct heating source however perforated tube may be applied in both direct heating and water bath. These notes are important in using low boiling solvent (volatile) for better extraction. Because extraction is not limited to plant parts, this new tool may be used as a general extraction tool. So to guarantee getting higher quantities of volatile constituents with easier steps, perforated tube is an excellent choice.
