Abstract: Grape pomace is a prominent byproduct of winemaking, which provides
bioactive phytochemicals such as polyphenols, conferring health benefits to
humans, including anticancer properties. Delivering bioactive compounds
extracted from grape pomace as microcapsules offers a sustainable and effective
solution for developing tailored leukemia therapies. This approach highlights
integrating environmentally friendly practices with medical innovation, mainly
through the valorization of grape pomace, a byproduct of winemaking. For this
purpose, the study uses ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) to optimize the
extraction of these bioactive compounds. It evaluates how temperature and time
affect antioxidant activity and total phenolic content. The results indicated that 60
minutes was optimal for the extraction yield of UAE with appreciable antioxidants
(73.2 ± 1.5%) and total phenolic content (75.3 ± 2.1 mg GAE/g) compared to other
methods studied here. Molecular docking analysis further revealed strong
interactions between anthocyanins, particularly delphinidin-3-O-glucoside, and
proteins associated with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) and Chronic
Myeloid Leukemia (CML), suggesting potential therapeutic applications. The
present study offers a new perspective on the importance of grape pomace as an
eco-friendly source of bioactive molecules in line with green chemistry ethics that
may find applications in pharmaceuticals or nutraceutical sectors.

Introduction
Currently, the wine industry produces about 20
million tons of grape byproducts yearly, of which the
most frequent byproduct is grape pomace that
comprises skins, stems, seeds, and pulp residue (FerrerGallego & Silva, 2022). The management of this waste
entails serious implications as far as the environment is
concerned in regards to environmental approach
according to Siller-Sánchez et al., 2024. The grape
pomace contains bioactive compounds including
polyphenols, flavonoids, and anthocyanin with several
health promoting effects (Almanza-Oliveros et al., 2024).
These bioactive compounds are supplied with
antioxidants, anticancer, and antimicrobial effects
(Caponio, 2023). Remarkably, these bioactive
compounds are also present in the grape pomace and
have an appropriate therapeutic potential for treating
various malignant diseases such as cancer (Asma et al.,
2022).
The secondary metabolites contained in the grape
pomace have anti mutagenic effects due to; apoptosis
and cell cycle arrest in the cancer cells (Asma et al., 2022).
It has been identified that some of these extracts are
capable of selectively affecting the cancer cells and
inhibiting their proliferation. Nevertheless, they do this
without affecting the functionality of normal cells in a
negative manner. This is why they are regarded to be
more efficient than traditional treatments aimed at
cancer that had numerous side effects (Subramaniam et

extraction of bioactive compounds from Ciravas Agra
grape pomace is carried out and the current study also
explores the molecular interaction of the identified
compounds with proteins associated with APL and
CML. APL is one of the subtypes of acute myeloid
leukemia that is caused by chromosomes 15/17
translocation (De Almeida et al., 2023). When these types
of treatment such as ATRA, chemotherapy, and arsenic
trioxide are employed; the cure rates are high (Yilmaz et
al., 2021). However, early intervention is needed because
of high risks of bleeding as indicated in studies by
Alimoghaddam (2014). CML has a Philadelphia
chromosome, a translocation between chromosomes 9
and 22, producing the BCR-ABL fusion gene( Khalid &
Riasat, 2023).
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are highly
effective -Imatinib Dasatinib and Nilotinib can bring
uninterrupted remission and the average life expectancy
proving that if the client follows the doctor's orders(
Yoshida et al., 2023). However, new treatment options
are still needed due to the existence of drug resistance,
side effects, and patients' desire for a definitive cure

(Alves et al., 2021). This paper will concentrate on the
Ciravas Agra grape variety identified in the far eastern
portion of the Russian Federation; little investigation has
been done on the bioactive profile of this grape variety
(JKI, 2024).
Method
In Vitro Analysis:
This study used the Ultra-Sound Assisted
Extraction (UAE) technique to extract bioactive
compounds from Ciravas Agra grape pomace; the
method was selected because of the high efficiency it
offers in the extraction process(Kumar et al., 2020). The
extraction process involved change in temperature 30,
40, 50 and 60°C and time intervals of 10, 20, 30 and 40
minutes where DPPH assay used for radical scavenging
activity (Baliyan et al., 2022). Total phenolic content was
determined according to the Folin-Ciocalteu method
(Siddiqui et al., 2017). As shown in Table 1 below, a
research matrix has been created to determine the effects
of time and temperature on the UAE.

In Silico Analysis:
The molecular docking analysis was carried out for
the in silico investigation of the potential mode of
interaction of the bioactive compounds with the target
proteins in APL and CML (de Almeida et al., 2023). This
research provided a grape bioactive compounds list,
anthocyanins, catechins, quercetin, gallic acid, and
resveratrol (Sabra et al., 2021). The structures of target
proteins (Abl1, Akt1, Cdks, Flat, Il-18, Mapkapk1,
Mapkapk3, Mapk14, Myc) have been downloaded from
the protein databank (PDB) (RCSB et al. Bank, 2024). In
