Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 14Synthesizing and Evaluating the Photodynamic Efficacy of Asymmetric Heteroleptic A(7)b Type Novel Lanthanide Bis-Phthalocyanine Complexes(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021) Önal, Emel; Tüncel, Özge; Özçelik, Serdar; Tüncel, Özge; Gül Gürek, Ayşe; Özçelik, Serdar; 04.03. Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this study heteroleptic A(7)B type novel Lu(iii) and Eu(iii) lanthanide phthalocyanines (LnPc(Pox)[Pc '(AB(3)SH)]) with high extinction coefficients have been synthesized as candidate photosensitizers with reaction yields higher than 33%. The singlet oxygen quantum yields of LuPc(Pox)[Pc '(AB(3)SH)] and EuPc(Pox)[Pc '(AB(3)SH)], respectively, were measured 17% and 1.4% by the direct method in THF. The singlet oxygen quantum yield of LuPc(Pox)[Pc '(AB(3)SH)] in THF is the highest among lutetium(iii) bis-phthalocyanine complexes to date. The photodynamic efficacy of the heteroleptic lanthanide phthalocyanines was evaluated by measuring cell viabilities of A549 and BEAS-2B lung cells, selected to representing in vitro models for testing cancer and normal cells against potential drugs. The cell viabilities demonstrated concentration dependent behavior and were varied by the type of phthalocyanines complexes. Irradiation of the cells for 30 minutes with LED array at 660 nm producing flux of 0.036 J cm(-2) s(-1) increased cell death for LuPcPox-OAc, LuPc(Pox)[Pc '(AB(3)SH)] and ZnPc. The IC50 concentrations of LuPc(Pox)[Pc '(AB(3)SH)] and ZnPc were determined to be below 10 nM for both cell lines, agreeing very well with the singlet oxygen quantum yield measurements. These findings suggest that LuPc(Pox)[Pc '(AB(3)SH)] and particularly LuPcPox-OAc are promising drug candidates enabling lowered dose and shorter irradiation time for photodynamic therapy.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6An Anticounterfeiting Technology Combining an Inp Nanoparticle Ink and a Versatile Optical Device for Authentication(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021) Özçelik, Serdar; Taşcıoğlu, Didem; Özçelik, Serdar; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 04. Faculty of ScienceCounterfeiting is a growing issue and causes economic losses. Fluorescent inks containing In(Zn)P/ZnS/DDT colloidal nanoparticles are formulated and combined with a convenient optical device for authentication. The particle size and fluorescent colors of the colloidal nanoparticles were tuned by adjusting the reaction temperature. The particle stability and brightness were improved by the addition of dodecanethiol, coating the particle surface with an organic shell. Security patterns were printed on various substrates by applying the screen-printing technique. The patterns were invisible under daylight but observable under UV-light illumination, displaying five different emission colors. By adjusting the concentration of the nanoparticles in the ink, the security patterns were made almost not observable under UV-light illumination but clearly identified by a commercial fiber optics-based spectrometer and a handheld optical device, called a Quantag sensor that was developed in-house. Furthermore, the spectral signatures of barely noticeable patterns are unambiguously validated by the Quantag sensor. Accordingly, low cost and easily applicable anticounterfeiting technology powered by custom-formulated fluorescent inks and a handheld optical instrument are developed to authenticate valuable documents and products.Article Citation - WoS: 42Citation - Scopus: 47Ph Responsive Glycopolymer Nanoparticles for Targeted Delivery of Anti-Cancer Drugs(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018) Yılmaz, Gökhan; Özçelik, Serdar; Güler, Emine; Geyik, Caner; Demir, Bilal; Özkan, Melek; Odacı Demirkol, Dilek; Özçelik, Serdar; Timur, Suna; Becer, C. Remzi; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyOver the past decade, there has been a great deal of interest in the integration of nanotechnology and carbohydrates. The advances in glyconanotechnology have allowed the creation of different bioactive glyconanostructures for different types of medical applications, especially for drug delivery and release systems. Therefore, the use of more efficient biocompatible nanocarriers with high loading capacity, low overall toxicity and receptor-mediated endocytosis specificity is still in focus for the enhancement of the therapeutic effect. Conjugation of sugar derivatives onto gold nanoparticles presents unique properties that include a wide array of assembling models and size-related electronic, magnetic and optical properties. Here, pH-responsive drug-conjugated glycopolymer-coated gold nanoparticles were prepared by functionalization of gold nanoparticles with thiol-terminated glycopolymers and then subsequent conjugation of doxorubicin (DOX). Among the four different glycopolymers, their drug release, physicochemical characterization (spectroscopy, particle size and surface charge) and in vitro bioapplications with four different cell lines were compared. As a result, pH-sensitive drug delivery via sugar-coated AuNPs was performed thanks to hydrazone linkages between glycopolymers and DOX. Comparative viability tests also demonstrated the efficiency of glycopolymer-DOX conjugates by fluorescence cell imaging. The obtained results reveal that AuNP homoglycopolymer DOX conjugates (P4D) have significant potential, especially in human neuroblastoma cells in comparison to cervical cancer cells and lung cancer cells.Article Citation - WoS: 33Citation - Scopus: 33Folic Acid Modified Clay/Polymer Nanocomposites for Selective Cell Adhesion(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014) Barlas, Fırat Barış; Ağ Şeleci, Didem; Özçelik, Serdar; Demir, Bilal; Şeleci, Muharrem; Aydın, Muhammed; Taşdelen, M. A.; Zareie, Hadi M.; Timur, Suna; Özçelik, Serdar; Yağcı, Yusuf; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyA folic acid (FA) modified poly(epsilon-caprolactone)/clay nanocomposite (PCL/MMT-(CH2CH2OH)2-FA) resulting in selective cell adhesion and proliferation was synthesized and characterized as a cell culture and biosensing platform. For this purpose, first the FA modified clay (MMT-(CH2CH2OH)2-FA) was prepared by treating the organo-modified clay, Cloisite 30B [MMT-(CH2CH 2OH)2] with FA in chloroform at 60°C. Subsequent ring opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone in the presence of tin octoate (Sn(Oct)2) using MMT-(CH2CH2OH)2-FA at 110°C resulted in the formation of MMT-(CH2CH 2OH)2-FA with an exfoliated clay structure. The structures of intermediates and the final nanocomposite were investigated in detail by FT-IR spectral analysis and DSC, TGA, XRD, SEM and AFM measurements. The combination of FA, PCL and clay provides a simple and versatile route to surfaces that allows controlled and selective cell adhesion and proliferation. FA receptor-positive HeLa and negative A549 cells were used to prove the selectivity of the modified surfaces. Both microscopy and electrochemical sensing techniques were applied to show the differences in cell adherence on the modified and pristine clay platforms. This approach is expected to be adapted into various bio-applications such as 'cell culture on chip', biosensors and design of tools for targeted diagnosis or therapy.Article Citation - WoS: 56Citation - Scopus: 57Dynamic Nuclear Polarization of Spherical Nanoparticles(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013) Akbey, Ümit; Özçelik, Serdar; Linden, Arne; Özçelik, Serdar; Gradzielski, Michael; Oschkinat, Hartmut; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologySpherical silica nanoparticles of various particle sizes (∼10 to 100 nm), produced by a modified Stoeber method employing amino acids as catalysts, are investigated using Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) enhanced Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. This study includes ultra-sensitive detection of surface-bound amino acids and their supramolecular organization in trace amounts, exploiting the increase in NMR sensitivity of up to three orders of magnitude via DNP. Moreover, the nature of the silicon nuclei on the surface and the bulk silicon nuclei in the core (sub-surface) is characterized at atomic resolution. Thereby, we obtain unique insights into the surface chemistry of these nanoparticles, which might result in improving their rational design as required for promising applications, e.g. as catalysts or imaging contrast agents. The non-covalent binding of amino acids to surfaces was determined which shows that the amino acids not just function as catalysts but become incorporated into the nanoparticles during the formation process. As a result only three distinct Q-types of silica signals were observed from surface and core regions. We observed dramatic changes of DNP enhancements as a function of particle size, and very small particles (which suit in vivo applications better) were hyperpolarized with the best efficiency. Nearly one order of magnitude larger DNP enhancement was observed for nanoparticles with 13 nm size compared to particles with 100 nm size. We determined an approximate DNP penetration-depth (∼4.2 or ∼5.7 nm) for the polarization transfer from electrons to the nuclei of the spherical nanoparticles. Faster DNP polarization buildup was observed for larger nanoparticles. Efficient hyperpolarization of such nanoparticles, as achieved in this work, can be utilized in applications such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Article Citation - WoS: 26Citation - Scopus: 27Developing a Facile 1 Method for Highly Luminescent Colloidal Cdsxse1_x Ternary Nanoalloys†(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013) Ünlü, Caner; Ünal Tosun, Gülçin; Özçelik, Serdar; Özçelik, Serdar; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyWe report a facile method to synthesize highly luminescent colloidal CdSxSe1 xternary nanoalloys. The synthesis is achieved exactly in one-step, one-pot and at low temperature, by applying the two-phase thermal approach. The optical and structural properties of the nanoalloys were characterized by various techniques. Photoluminescence of the nanoalloys is tunable from 435 to 545 nm by either the size or the composition of the nanoalloys. Highly luminescent nanoalloys having quantum yields up to 90% were prepared. The hydrodynamic size of the nanoalloys can be varied from 1.4 to 10.0 nm by the reaction time. DLS measurements showed that the size distribution of the nanoalloys is monodispersed. TEM images confirmed the size and the size distribution of the nanoalloys. The sulfur fraction in the nanoalloy composition, measured by XRD and verified by EDX, is modulated from 0.17 to 0.95 by increasing the amount of thiourea in the chalcogenide mixture. The sulfur-rich nanoalloys are formed when the initial mole ratio of the chalcogenide (S : Se) is equal or higher than eleven-fold. The gradient and homogeneous internal structures are revealed by analysis of the alloy composition as a function of the growth time. We propose that the two-phase approach, a non-injection technique, is a facile and versatile method to develop highly luminescent CdSxSe1 x nanoalloys without an inorganic coating layer.
