Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 7Five New Cardenolides Transformed From Oleandrin and Nerigoside by Alternaria Eureka 1e1bl1 and Phaeosphaeriasp. 1e4cs-1 and Their Cytotoxic Activities(Elsevier Ltd., 2021) Karakoyun, Çiğdem; Küçüksolak, Melis; Bilgi, Eyüp; Doğan, Gamze; Çömlekçi, Yiğit Ege; Bedir, ErdalBiotransformation of oleandrin (1) and nerigoside (2) by endophytic fungi; Alternaria eureka 1E1BL1 and Phaeospheria sp. 1E4CS-1, has led to the isolation of five new metabolites (3, 5, 6, 7 and 8) together with a known compound (4). The structures of the biotransformation products were elucidated by 1D-, 2D NMR and HR-MS. Phaeospheria sp. mainly provided monooxygenation reactions on the A and B rings, whereas A. eureka afforded both monooxygenated and desacetylated derivatives of the substrates. Cytotoxic activity of the compounds was tested against a non-cancerous (HEK-293) and four cancer (PANC-1, MIA PaCa-2, DU 145 and A549) cell lines by MTT cell viability assay. All compounds were less cytotoxic than oleandrin, which had IC50 values ranging between 2.7 and 41.9 nM. Two of the monohydroxylated metabolites, viz. 7(?)-hydroxy oleandrin (3) and 1(?)-hydroxy oleandrin (7), were also potent with IC50 values from 18.45 to 39.0 nM, while desacetylated + monohydroxylated, or dihydroxylated products had much lower cytotoxicity. Additionally, the lesser activity of 2 and its metabolite (6) possessing diginose as sugar residue inferred that oleandrose moiety is important for the toxicity of oleandrin as well as hydrophobicity of the steroid core. © 2020 Phytochemical Society of EuropeArticle Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Polymeric Thermal Analysis of C+h and C+h+ar Ion Implanted Uhmwpe Samples(Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Kaya, N.; Öztarhan, Ahmet M.; Urkaç, Emel Sokullu; Ila, D.; Budak, S.; Oks, E.; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Muntele, C.Chemical surface characterization of C + H hybrid ion implanted UHMWPE samples were carried out using DSC (differential scanning calorimeter) and TGA (thermal gravimetric analysis) techniques. Samples were implanted with a fluence of 10(17) ion/cm(2) and an extraction voltage of 30 kV. The study of TGA and DSC curves showed that: (1) Polymeric decomposition temperature increased, (2) T-m, Delta C-p and Delta H-m values changed while Delta C-p and Delta H-m increased. T-g value could not be measured, because of some experimental limitations. However, the increase in Delta H-m values showed that T-g values increased, (3) the branch density which indicated the increase in number of cross-link (M-c) decreased in ion implanted samples and (4) increase in Delta H-m values indicated increase in crystallinity of implanted surface of UHMWPE samples.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Flavonol Glycosides From Reseda Lutea L(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Kızıltaş, Hatice; Küçüksolak, Melis; Duman, Seda; Bedir, ErdalTwo new flavonol glycosides; kaempferol-3-O-[2-O-(beta-D-xylopyranosyl)-3-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)]-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-7-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside (1) and kaempferol-3-O-[2-O-((6-O-trans-p-coumaryl)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-3-O-(beta-D-xylopyranosyl)]-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-7-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside (2) were isolated from the aerial parts of Reseda lutea L., together with five known flavonol glycosides. Structural elucidation of the compounds was based on both spectroscopic evidence and reference data comparison. The new compounds are the first tetrasaccharidic secondary metabolites isolated from Resedaceae family.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 18Separating Normosmic and Anosmic Patients Based on Entropy Evaluation of Olfactory Event-Related Potentials(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Güdücü, Çağdaş; Olcay, Bilal Orkan; Schaefer, L.; Aziz, M.; Schriever, V. A.; Özgören, Murat; Hummel, T.Objective: Methods based on electroencephalography (EEG) are used to evaluate brain responses to odors which is challenging due to the relatively low signal-to-noise ratio. This is especially difficult in patients with olfactory loss. In the present study, we aim to establish a method to separate functionally anosmic and normosmic individuals by means of recordings of olfactory event-related potentials (OERP) using an automated tool. Therefore, Shannon entropy was adopted to examine the complexity of the averaged electrophysiological responses. Methods: A total of 102 participants received 60 rose-like odorous stimuli at an inter-stimulus interval of 10 s. Olfactory-related brain activity was investigated within three time-windows of equal length; pre-, during-, and post-stimulus. Results: Based on entropy analysis, patients were correctly diagnosed for anosmia with a 75% success rate. Conclusion: This novel approach can be expected to help clinicians to identify patients with anosmia or patients with early symptoms of neurodegenerative disorders. Significance: There is no automated diagnostic tool for anosmic and normosmic patients using OERP. However, detectability of OERP in patients with functional anosmia has been reported to be in the range of 50%.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Ligand-Based Virtual Screening and Molecular Docking of Two Cytotoxic Compounds Isolated From Papaver Lacerum(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Bayazeid, Omer; Bedir, Erdal; Yalçın, Funda N.This study revealed that the Papaver lacerum extract strongly inhibited HeLa cell proliferation, resulting in 13% cell viability. As a result of phytochemical studies, one known compound, Tyrosol-1-O-beta-xylopyranosyl-(1 -> 6)-O-beta-glucopyranoside) (I), and one new compound, 5-O-(6-O-alpha-rhamnopyronosyl-beta-glucopyronosyl) mevalonic acid (II), were isolated. Compounds I and II were found to possess a moderate cytotoxic effect with an IC50 of 66.4 mu M (p < 0.0001) and 54 mu M (p < 0.0001), respectively. The ligand-based virtual screening technique was used to reveal the possible molecular target of compounds I and II. The molecular target was identified as protein-tyrosine kinase Syk for compound I, and aldo-keto reductase family-1 for compound II. Molecular docking was used to assess the binding affinity of the compounds with the targets obtained from ligand-based virtual screening.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7Development of a Water-Soluble 3-Formylbodipy Dye for Fluorogenic Sensing and Cell Imaging of Sulfur Dioxide Derivatives(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Işık, Murat; Şimşek Turan, İlke; Dartar, SuayA new water-soluble, highly fluorogenic 3-formylBODIPY dye that enables the sensing of SO2 derivatives in aqueous buffers and cancer cells is reported.

In this paper, the use of the Fiber Optics Current Sensor (FOCS) operating in the reflection mode with a Faraday mirror to perform plasma current measurements is analyzed. Based on the Jones matrix formalism, we performed numerical simulations to investigate the impact of the Faraday mirror detuning on the measurement accuracy. We show that the use of standard commercial components does not allow to satisfy the ITER requirements for the whole plasma current range. A simple solution to the problem is proposed, which consists in taking into account a mirror calibration in the current estimator. We show that the achievable mirror calibration accuracy is sufficient to fulfill the ITER requirements.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 13Cycloartane-Type Sapogenol Derivatives Inhibit Nf?b Activation as Chemopreventive Strategy for Inflammation-Induced Prostate Carcinogenesis(Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Debeleç Bütüner, Bilge; Öztürk, Mert Burak; Tağ, Özgür; Akgün, İsmail Hakkı; Yetik Anacak, Günay; Bedir, Erdal; Korkmaz, Kemal SamiChronic inflammation is associated to 25% of cancer cases according to epidemiological data. Therefore, inhibition of inflammation-induced carcinogenesis can be an efficient therapeutic approach for cancer chemoprevention in drug development studies. It is also determined that anti-inflammatory drugs reduce cancer incidence. Cell culture-based in vitro screening methods are used as a fast and efficient method to investigate the biological activities of the biomolecules. In addition, saponins are molecules that are isolated from natural sources and are known to have potential for tumor inhibition. Studies on the preparation of analogues of cycloartane-type sapogenols (9,19-cyclolanostanes) have so far been limited. Therefore we have decided to direct our efforts toward the exploration of new anti-tumor agents prepared from cycloastragenol and its production artifact astragenol. The semi-synthetic derivatives were prepared mainly by oxidation, condensation, alkylation, acylation, and elimination reactions. After preliminary studies, five sapogenol analogues, two of which were new compounds (2 and 3), were selected and screened for their inhibitory activity on cell viability and NFκB signaling pathway activity in LNCaP prostate cancer cells. We found that the astragenol derivatives 1 and 2 as well as cycloastragenol derivatives 3, 4, and 5 exhibited strong inhibitory activity on NFκB signaling leading the repression of NFκB transcriptional activation and suppressed cell proliferation. The results suggested that these molecules might have significant potential for chemoprevention of prostate carcinogenesis induced by inflammatory NFκB signaling pathway.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 7Secreted Wnt Antagonists in Leukemia: a Road Yet To Be Paved(Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Pehlivan, Melek; Çalışkan, Ceyda; Yüce, Zeynep; Sercan, Hakkı OgünWnt signaling has been a topic of research for many years for its diverse and fundamental functions in physiological (such as embryogenesis, organogenesis, proliferation, tissue repair and cellular differentiation) and pathological (carcinogenesis, congenital/genetic diseases, and tissue degeneration) processes. Wnt signaling pathway aberrations are associated with both solid tumors and hematological malignancies. Unregulated Wnt signaling observed in malignancies may be due to a wide spectrum of abnormalities, from mutations in the genes of key players to epigenetic modifications of Wnt antagonists. Of these, Wnt antagonists are gaining significant attention for their potential of being targets for treatment and inhibition of Wnt signaling. In this review, we discuss and summarize the significance of Wnt signaling antagonists in the pathogenesis and treatment of hematological malignancies.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Palladium-Catalyzed Coupling of 2-En Carbonates With Terminal Alkynes(Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Taç, Doğan; Artok, LeventThe first palladium-catalysed coupling of the carbonates of (E)-configured conjugated enynols with terminal alkynes is described. This method allows the synthesis of vinyl-allenynes with good yields. It has been determined that the method is not suitable for the (Z)-configured substrates.
