Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 15Sorafenib Loaded Zif-8 Metal-Organic Frameworks as a Multifunctional Nano-Carrier Offers Effective Hepatocellular Carcinoma Therapy(Elsevier, 2023) Mete, Derya; Mete, Derya; Yemeztaşlıca Yetişkin, Egehan; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; Yemeztaşlıca Yetişkin, Egehan; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of ScienceHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a primary malignant neoplasia of the liver and sorafenib is one of the most commonly used drugs in the treatment of HCC. Due to undesirable nature and side effects of sorafenib, nano-drug delivery systems are being developed. A member of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), ZIF-8 offers a very suitable platform for drug transport and controlled drug release due to its zinc content and pH-sensitive, biodegradable in an acidic environment. In the present study, sorafenib was encapsulated in ZIF-8 material with 53.8% efficiency and 58% loading capacity (SRF@ZIF-8). Structural characterizations of synthesized ZIF-8 and SRF@ZIF-8 system were investigated in details. Drug release analysis exhibited a faster release profile at pH 5.0 compared to that of pH 7.4. The cytotoxic effects of sorafenib and zinc were investigated in HepG2 and HuH-7 cell lines in vitro. The results demonstrated that in addition to sorafenib, ZIF-8 provided zinc to the envi-ronment with its biodegradable structure resulted in an effective cytotoxic effect on HCC cells. The findings showed that a formulation combining zinc and sorafenib together was more effective in HCC treatment compared to sorafenib itself.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Regio- and Stereo-Chemical Ring-Opening Reactions of the 2,3-Epoxy Alcohol Derivative With Nucleophiles: Explanation of the Structures and C-2 Selectivity Supported by Theoretical Computations(Elsevier, 2022) Gündoğdu, Özlem; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; Çelebioğlu, Neslihan; Anıl, Barış; Şahin, Ertan; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; Bozkaya, Uğur; Kara, Yunus; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe ring-opening reactions of (1aS,2S,6bR)-5-ethyl-2-hydroxyhexahydro-4H-oxireno[2,3-e]isoindole-4,6(5H)-dione were investigated under very mild and nonchelated conditions. C-2 selective ring-opening products were obtained with nucleophilic additions such as Cl−, Br− and N3−. The exact configuration of (3aS,4R,5R,6S,7aS)-5-chloro-2-ethyl-4,6-dihydroxyhexahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione was determined by X-Ray diffraction analysis which was obtained from the reaction of epoxy alcohol with HCl. On the other hand, theoretical computations were carried out to explain the regioselectivity in the ring opening reaction of epoxy alcohols. The results showed that the ring-opening reaction of both epoxy alcohols proceeds in a kinetically controlled manner and regioselectivity occurs depending on the transition state.Article Citation - WoS: 39Citation - Scopus: 44Identification and Characterization of Novel Thermostable Alpha-Amylase From Geobacillus Sp. Gs33(Elsevier, 2020) Burhanoğlu, Tülin; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; Sürmeli, Yusuf; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this study, the heterologous expression and biochemical characterization of a thermostable alpha-amylase from Geobacillus sp. GS33 was investigated. The recombinant alpha-amylase was overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (lambda DE) and purified via anion exchange and size-exclusion chromatography. The purified alpha-amylase had a molecular weight of about 60 kDa, and was active in a broad range of pH 3-10 and temperature (40-90 degrees C) withmaximumactivity at pH 7-8 and 60 degrees C. The enzyme retained 50% residual activity at 65 degrees C, but only 20% at 85 degrees C after 16 h. At pH 9 and pH 7, the residual activity at 65 degrees C was 50% and 30%, respectively. The enzymewas remarkably activated by Co2+, Ca2+, Mg2+, PMSF, DTT, and Triton X-100, but partially inhibited by Cu2+, methanol, hexane, ethanol, acetone, SDS, and Tween 20. A molecular phylogeny analysis showed that the enzyme's amino acid sequence had the closest connection with an alpha-amylase from Geobacillus thermoleovorans subsp. stromboliensis nov. 3D-structure-based amino acid sequence alignments revealed that the three catalytic residues (D217, E246, D314) and the four Ca2+ ion coordination residues (N143, E177, D186, H221) were conserved in alpha-amylase from Geobacillus sp. GS33. The temperature stability and neutral pH optimum suggest that the enzyme may be useful for industrial applications. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
