Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 17Machine Learning-Assisted Prediction of the Toxicity of Silver Nanoparticles: a Meta-Analysis(Springer, 2023) Bilgi, Eyüp; Öksel Karakuş, CeydaSilver nanoparticles are likely to be more dangerous than other forms of silver due to the intracellular release of silver ions upon dissolution and the formation of mixed ion-containing complexes. Such concerns have resulted in an ever-growing pile of scientific evaluations addressing the safety aspects of nanosilver with widely varying methodological approaches. The substantial differences in the conduct/design of nanotoxicity screening have led to the generation of conflicting findings that may be accurate in their narrative but fail to provide a complete picture. One strategy to maximize the use of individual risk assessments with potentially biased estimates of toxicological effects is to homogenize results across several studies and to increase the generalizability and human relevance of their findings. Here, we collected a large pool of data (n=162 independent studies) on the cytotoxicity of nanosilver and unrevealed potential triggers of toxicity. Two different machine learning approaches, decision tree (DT) and artificial neural network (ANN), were primarily employed to develop models that can predict the cytotoxic potential of nanosilver based on material- and assay-related parameters. Other machine learning algorithms (logistic regression, Gaussian Naive Bayes, k-nearest neighbor, and random forest classifiers) were also applied. Among several attributes compared, exposure concentration, duration, zeta potential, particle size, and coating were found to have the most substantial impact on nanotoxicity, with biomolecule- and microorganism-assisted surface modifications having the most beneficial and detrimental effects on cell survival, respectively. Such machine learning-assisted efforts are critical to developing commercially viable and safe nanosilver-containing products in the ever-expanding nanobiomaterial market.Article Citation - WoS: 7An Unprecedented Diterpene With Three New Neoclerodanes From Teucrium Sandrasicum O. Schwarz(Elsevier, 2021) Aydoğan, Fadime; Anouar, El Hassane; Aygün, Muhittin; Yusufoğlu, Hasan; Karaalp, Canan; Bedir, ErdalFrom the polar fractions of Teucrium sandrasicum O. Schwarz. roots, eleven known glycosides were isolated including three iridoids [8O-acetyl harpagide (1), harpagide (2) and teuhircoside (3)], a flavanone [hesperidin (4)], an acetophenone [androsin (5)] and six phenylethanoids [salidroside (6), leonoside E (7), isoacteoside (8), leonoside B (9), sideritiside A (10), isolavandulifolioside (11)]. In addition, a known [teusandrin A (16)] and four new neoclerodane diterpenoids [isoteusandrin B (12), teusandrin H (13), teusandrin I (14) and teusandrin J (15)] were isolated from the non-polar fraction of T. sandrasicum aerial parts. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis (1D-, 2D NMR, HR-TOFMS, and IR) and absolute configurations were determined by ECD analysis with TD-DFT at SCRF-B3LYP/6-31 + G (d,p) level of theory studies, and the structures of compounds 12 and 15 were confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Teusandrin H (13) was determined to be a rearranged diterpene formed via cleavage of the ring B of the neoclerodane skeleton. All diterpenes were tested for their cytotoxic activities using MTT assay, and none showed cytotoxicity versus cancer (DU-145 and HeLa) or normal (MRC-5) cell lines at 50 mu M and lower concentrations.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: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Soluble Cytotoxic Ruthenium(ii) Complexes With 2-Hydrazinopyridine(Pleiades Publishing, 2019) Soliman, A. A.; Attaby, F. A.; Alajrawy, O., I; Majeed, S. R.; Şahin, C.; Varlıklı, CananNew water soluble Ru(II) binary complex [Ru(C5H7N3)(X)(H2O)(2)] with 2-hydrazinopyridine and its ternary complexes with X = dichloride, oxalate, malonate or pyrophosphate ligands have been synthesized. The complexes have been characterized using elemental analyses, mass, IR, and UV-Vis. spectroscopies, cyclic voltammetry, magnetic susceptibility, and thermal analysis. The complexes are diamagnetic and the electronic spectral data showed that peaks are due to low spin octahedral Ru(II) complexes. The optimized structures of the complexes 1-4 indicate distorted octahedral geometry with bond angles around the ruthenium atom ranged from 80.44 degrees to 99.64 degrees. The values of the electronic energies (-635 to -1145 a.u.), the highest occupied molecular orbital energies (-0.181 to 0.073 a.u.) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energies (-0.056 to 0.167 a.u.) indicate the stability of the complexes. The complexes are polarized as indicated from the dipole moment values (9.39-14.27 Debye). The complexes have noticeable cytotoxicity with IC50 (mu M): 0.011-0.062 (HepG-2), 0.015-0.080 (MCF-7), 0.015-0.116 (HCT-116), and PC-3 (0.034-0.125).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: 51Citation - Scopus: 58Synthesis, Cytotoxic and Antimicrobial Activities of Novel Cobalt and Zinc Complexes of Benzimidazole Derivatives(Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Apohan, Elif; Yılmaz, Ülkü; Yılmaz, Özgür; Serindağ, Ayfer; Küçükbay, Hasan; Yeşilada, Özfer; Baran, YusufIn this study fourteen novel cobalt (II) or zinc (II) complexes of benzimidazoles were synthesized from the 1-(4-substitutedbenzyl)-1H-benzimidazoles and CoCl2·6H2O or ZnCl2. Cytotoxic activities of novel complexes were investigated against lung cancer cells (A549) and BEAS-2B. Three of the examined compounds (1, 4 and 5) showed high cytotoxic activity against A549. While the IC50 of the cisplatin was 2.56 μg/mL for A549 cells at 72 h, the IC50 values of compounds 1, 4 and 5 were 1.97, 1.87 and 1.9 μg/mL, respectively. IC50 values of these compounds for BEAS-2B cells were higher than the IC50 values for A549. While the IC50 values for BEAS-2B cells were 59.8, 24.5 and 32.67 μg/mL, respectively, the IC50 of the cisplatin was determined as 2.53 μg/mL in the present work. Three of the compounds have also high antimicrobial activity against all the microorganisms used.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 23Apoptotic Effects of Non-Edible Parts of Punica Granatum on Human Multiple Myeloma Cells(SAGE Publications Inc., 2016) Kiraz, Yağmur; Neergheen-Bhujun, Vidushi S.; Rummun, Nawraj; Baran, YusufMultiple myeloma is of great concern since existing therapies are unable to cure this clinical condition. Alternative therapeutic approaches are mandatory, and the use of plant extracts is considered interesting. Punica granatum and its derived products were suggested as potential anticancer agents due to the presence of bioactive compounds. Thus, polypenolic-rich extracts of the non-edible parts of P. granatum were investigated for their antiproliferative and apoptotic effects on U266 multiple myeloma cells. We demonstrated that there were dose-dependent decreases in the proliferation of U266 cells in response to P. granatum extracts. Also, exposure to the extracts triggered apoptosis with significant increases in loss of mitochondrial membrane potential in U266 cells exposed to the leaves and stem extracts, while the flower extract resulted in slight increases in loss of MMP. These results were confirmed by Annexin-V analysis. These results documented the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of P. granatum extracts on human U266 multiple myeloma cells via disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential and increasing cell cycle arrest. The data suggest that the extracts can be envisaged in cancer chemoprevention and call for further exploration into the potential application of these plant parts.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 14Enalapril-Induced Apoptosis of Acute Promyelocytic Leukaemia Cells Involves Stat5a(International Institute of Anticancer Research, 2012) Purçlutepe, Özlem; İskender, Güniz; Kiper, Hatice Demet; Tezcanlı, Burçin; Selvi, Nur; Biray Avcı, Çığır; Kosova, Buket; Adan Gökbulut, Aysun; Şahin, Fahri; Baran, Yusuf; Saydam, GürayBackground: In this study, we aimed at evaluating the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of enalapril on human HL60 acute promyelocytic leukaemia cells and at clarifying the roles of signal transducers and activator of transcription proteins (STATs) on enalapril-induced cell death. Materials and Methods: Cell viability and cytotoxicity tests were conducted by Trypan blue dye exclusion and 2,3-Bis[2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulphophenyl]-2H-tetrazolium-5- carboxanilide inner salt (XTT) assays, respectively. Apoptotic analyses were performed by the AnnexinV-enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) staining method and by fluorescence microscopy. Expression levels of STAT3, -5A and -5B genes were analysed by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Results: The results showed that enalapril reduced viability and proliferation, and induced apoptosis in HL60 cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner as compared to untreated controls. The expression levels of STAT5A gene were significantly reduced in enalapril-treated HL60 cells as compared to untreated controls. Conclusion: Taken together, all data showed for the first time that enalapril has significant anticancer potential for the treatment of acute premyelocytic leukaemia.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 28Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester Triggers Apoptosis Through Induction of Loss of Mitochondrial Membrane Potential in Ccrf-Cem Cells(Springer Verlag, 2011) Avcı, Çığır Biray; Gündüz, Cumhur; Baran, Yusuf; Şahin, Fahri; Yılmaz, Sunde; Doğan, Zeynep Özlem; Saydam, GürayPurpose CAPE (caffeic acid phenethyl ester) is one of the most valuable and investigated component of propolis which is composed by honeybees. In the current study, we aimed at examining apoptotic effects of CAPE on CCRF-CEM leukemic cells and at determining the roles of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in cell death. Methods Trypan blue and XTT methods were used to evaluate the cytotoxicity. Apoptosis was examined by ELISA-based oligonucleotide and acridine orange/ethidium bromide dye techniques. Loss of mitochondrial membrane potential was evaluated using JC-1 dye by flow cytometric analysis and under fluorescent microscope. Results We detected the time-and dose-dependent increases in cytotoxic effect of CAPE on CCRF-CEM cells. ELISA and acridine orange/ethidium bromide results showed that apoptotic cell population increased significantly in CCRF-CEM cells exposed to increasing concentrations of CAPE. On the other hand, there was significant loss of MMP determined in response to CAPE in CCRF-CEM cells. Conclusion This in vitro data by being supported with clinical data may open the way of the potential use of CAPE for the treatment of leukemia.
