Extraction of Aloin from Aloe Vera plant and study its effect in Micronucleus Formation in Acute Lymphoid Leukemia

Abstract

Aloin extracted into alcohol-rich phase with high extraction efficiency,
meanwhile majority polysaccharides, proteins, mineral substances and other
impurities were extracted into salt-rich phase. Partitioning of AQs[Anthraquinones]
is dependent on hydrophobic interaction, hydrogen bond interaction, and salting-out
effect in Aqueous tow –phase system [ATPS]. Aloin was partially purified by using
1-propanol [NH4] 2SO4, the use of this solvent showed high efficiency 90.61%
compared with other solvent [2-propanol and ethanol]. The concentration of aloin
detected by HPLC technique, which reached to 91.84% as focus turns out that there
is compatibility between the sample and the standard in shape and retention time
which reached [1.462] compared with the standard [1.465]. After the treatment of
blood leukemic patient cultures, three concentrations of aloin were used [100, 200
and 400] μg/ml, the last concentration showed the ability to reduce the coefficient of
micronucleus formation to [0.0062] micronucleus/cell, compared with non- treated
culture which reached to [0.0236] micronucleus/cell.
