Summary

Professional Summary

Dr. Ahmed A. M. Elnour is a senior researcher at the biotechnology department at IIUM, leading research in biological chemistry applications, mainly beating and understanding cancer. Dr. Elnour has extensive experience with green chemistry, mainly plant bioactivity and phytochemistry, particularly focusing on Gum Arabic (GA.) bioactivity based on three-dimensional (3D) cell culture. Currently working on breast cancer using organ-on-a-chip (OoCs) technology for regenerative and personalized medicine. Dr Elnour was previously served as head of the biochemistry and gum processing department at the Institute of Gum Arabic & Desertification Studies (IGADS), University of Kordofan (KU.), Sudan. Dr Elnour served as a lecturer in biochemistry and food science at KU., Sudan, and part-time lecturer in biochemistry and molecular biology at West-Kordofan University (WKU), Sudan, before joining IIUM as a PhD and Postdoctoral Research Fellow (PDF) under Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) merit scholarship. Dr Elnour has a biotechnology expert with over 20 years of experience bridging academia and industry. Dr Elnour has an excellent reputation for resolving scientific challenges and improving biotechnological customer satisfaction on industrial platforms. Therefore, Elnour's business strategy for United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) to create pioneer anti-cancer developing drugs that need to be approved using OoCs technology to control cancer expansion worldwide. Following Dr Elnour's proposed strategy, will enter clinical trials to assess the safety and efficacy of leading bioactive compounds before being approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Hence, OoC's technology is projected to have a global market of $6.13 billion by 2025. Thus, UAEU urgently needs this to address the core criteria of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. Once established OoCs, technology in UAEU will certainly avoid many limitations, problems, and unnecessary loading of patients with ineffective drugs. Therefore, Dr. Elnour hopes to set up the first commercial applications of Dr. Elnour specialization (OoCs) platform in UAEU. This will probably be for beating cancer, improving cancer patient care by realizing personalized medicine. The OoCs devices can culture patient-derived cells that emulate the biology and physiology of the individual. Dr. Elnour's field of specialization positively affects multiple SDGs, including SDG-1, SDG-2, SDG-3, SDG-4, SDG-8, SDG-9, SDG-13, and SDG-17.

APPENDIX (PhD-Thesis Abstract)

GA is a natural antioxidant that comes from the Acacia complex gums (ACGG). It is rich in dietary fibers and polyphenolics compounds that can support healthy living due to its antioxidant activity (AA). Despite its rich AA and medical benefits, the research on ACGG antioxidant extraction has not received the attention it deserves from researchers and governments. Therefore, this study aims to create optimized extraction conditions that will enhance AA and effectiveness. To achieve this aim, the first experiment was conducted to extract the ACGG active compounds using the methanolic crude extraction (MCE) method and determine the extracts' physiochemical properties, e.g., flavonoids, phenolic compounds, moisture content, pH, metal profile and amino acid profile. Meanwhile, the second experiment was carried out to optimize the methods and extraction conditions to improve the AA using Design of expert (DOE) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The third experiment was conducted to study the antioxidant materials regarding crude extract and its active sub-fractions using the optimized conditions. The last investigation was carried out to investigate the anti-inflammatory of the ACGG methanolic crude extracts and active fractions (Methanol fraction (MF) and Aceton Fraction (AF)) on Albino rats (in-vivo) and the antiproliferative activity against breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7), colon adenocarcinoma (HCT-116), and prostate cancer (PC3) cell lines using the in-vitro assay. Results from the extraction indicated a significant number of flavonoid compounds and phenolic compounds (among others) in both ACGG (6540±3.46µg/100g) and prebio-M (PBMT) from (2560±3.49µg/100g) to (2710±4.04µg/100g), using HPLC analysis. The individual flavonoid detected was quercetin. For the phenolic acids, the active compound was identified in both the ACGG and the Prebio-T were caffeic acids and ρ-coumaric, p-hydroxybenzoic, and ferulic acid with caffeic acid being the most predominant phenolic compounds in the ACGG (lateritic soil sample: 401770±3.52µg/100g; clay soil samples: 77580±5.20 µg/100g). The optimization result showed that the maximum AA and yield of extract (predicted by Design-Expert software 11.00) were 11.10% and 15.56% for Acacia seyal gum and Prebio-T (PTC), respectively, using the ultrasonic extraction; and methanol at experimental temperature conditions of 43°C, power of 40 kHz, for 3 hrs. Furthermore, the GC-MS/MS results of the MCE, MF and AF of both Acacia seyal gum (ASG) and PTC confirm the presence of a total of 57 bioactive compounds (BCs). Compared to the same BCs, it almost doubled in PTC MCE. The In-vivo results (i.e., acute inflammatory test) under control conditions in the laboratory at 300 mg/kg dosage of both MCE of ASG and PTC developed a mean and maximum percentage inhibition of 23.63% and 23.54%, respectively, during the 24 hours observation using in-vitro methodology. The MCE of PTC resulted in vigorous cytotoxic activity (CA) against MCF7 cell lines with an IC50 value of 8.792 µg/ml. Compared to ASG, against MCF7, PC3, and HTC116 cell lines, showed IC50 values of 9.56, 11.53 and 13.36µg/ml, respectively. Furthermore, both MF and AF of PTC was found to possess the most efficient CA against PC3 cell lines stronger than the MF and AF of ASG with IC50 values of 9.56µg/mL 9.63µg/mL, respectively. Finally, the antioxidant and antiproliferative properties of the BCs in GA have shown some evidence of effectiveness as traditional medicine as a preventive measure against cancer cell growth and acute inflammation.
