Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Effects of Different Precursors on the Aging and Electrocaloric Properties of Mn-Doped Ba0.95sr0.05tio3 Ceramics(Springer, 2023) Karakaya, Merve; Erdem, Emre; Akdoğan, Yaşar; Adem, UmutIn this study, the effects of different types of Mn precursors (MnO2 and Mn2O3) and sintering temperature on the defect dipole formation, ferroelectric aging and electrical properties were investigated by using Ba0.95Sr0.05TiO3 ceramics as the base. Both Mn precursors were substituted to the Ti-site as 1 mol% and two different sintering temperatures of 1325 and 1400 degrees C were used to study the effect of grain size. We deduced that slightly higher amounts of Mn2+ can be incorporated into the perovskite structure when MnO2 is used as the precursor, by using X-ray diffraction and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Mn-doped samples sintered at 1325 degrees C age faster than those sintered at 1400 degrees C. Aging caused a decrease in the electrocaloric effect whereas Mn-doping increased it. This study shows that Mn precursor used for the acceptor doping affects the amount of Mn incorporated into the structure and therefore electrical properties of the resulting ceramics.Article Citation - WoS: 26Citation - Scopus: 27Dopamine-Conjugated Bovine Serum Albumin Nanoparticles Containing Ph-Responsive Catechol-V(iii) Coordination for in Vitro and in Vivo Drug Delivery(Amer Chemical Soc, 2023) Argıtekin, Eda; Ersöz-Gülseven, Esra; Çakan-Akdoğan, Gülçin; Akdoğan, YaşarV(III) instead of commonly used Fe(III) provided a richtris-catechol-metalcoordination at pH 7.4, which is important for slow drug release atphysiological pH. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) functionalized with catechol-containingdopamine (D) and cross-linked using tris-catechol-V(III) coordinationyielded pH-responsive compact D-BSA NPs (253 nm). However, conversionto bis- and/or mono-catechol-V(III) complexes in an acidic mediumresulted in degradation of NPs and rapid release of doxorubicin (DOX).It was shown that D-BSA NPs entered cancerous MCF-7 cells (66%) moreefficiently than non-cancerous HEK293T (33%) in 3 h. Also, DOX-loadedNPs reduced cell viability of MCF-7 by 75% and induced apoptosis ina majority of cells after 24 h. Biodegradability and lack of hemolyticactivity were shown in vitro, whereas a lack of toxicity was shownin histological sections of zebrafish. Furthermore, 30% of circulatingtumor cells in vasculature in 24 h were killed by DOX-loaded NPs shownwith the zebrafish CTC xenograft model.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Mn2+ Ions Incorporated Into Znsxse1-X Colloidal Quantum Dots: Controlling Size and Composition of Nanoalloys and Regulating Magnetic Dipolar Interactions(IOP Publishing, 2021) Ünlütürk, Seçil Sevim; Akdoğan, Yaşar; Özçelik, SerdarA facile synthesis method is introduced how to prepare magnetically active ultraviolet emitting manganese ions incorporated into ZnSxSe1-x colloidal quantum dot (nanoalloy) at 110 degrees C in aqueous solutions. The reaction time is the main factor to control the hydrodynamic size from 3 to 10 nm and the precursor ratio is significant to tune the alloy composition. ZnS shell layer on the ZnSxSe1-x core was grown to passivate environmental effects. The nanoalloy has ultraviolet emission at 380 nm having a lifetime of 80 ns and 7% quantum yield. The incorporation of Mn2+ ions into the nanoalloys induced magnetic activity but did not modify the structure and photophysical properties of the nanoalloys. Colloidal and powdery samples were prepared and analyzed by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. In the colloidal dispersions, EPR spectra showed hyperfine line splitting regardless of the Mn2+ ion fractions, up to 6%, indicating that Mn2+ ions incorporated into the nanoalloys were isolated. EPR signals of the powdery samples were broadened when the fraction of Mn2+ ions was higher than 0.1%. The EPR spectra were simulated to reveal the locations and interactions of Mn2+ ions. The simulations suggest that the Mn2+ ions are located on the nanoalloy surfaces. These findings infer that the magnetic dipolar interactions are regulated by the initial mole ratio of Mn/Zn and the physical state of the nanoalloys adjusted by preparation methods.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Determination of Force-Free Wet Adhesion of Mussel-Inspired Polymers To Spin Labeled Surface(Elsevier, 2017) Kırpat, İklima; Göksel, Yaman; Karakuş, Erman; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa; Akdoğan, YaşarHydration repulsive forces oppose the adhesive interactions, especially in the force-free conditions. Here, we studied spontaneous wet adhesion of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) polymers inspired by marine mussels. Using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, we can monitor spontaneous adhesion of DOPA containing polymer to suspended spin labeled hydrophobic polystyrene nanobeads at molecular level. The surface coverage up to 82% is obtained from EPR measurements. However, in the force-free condition, EPR measurements do not show any detectable DOPA based adhesion to hydrophilic silica nanobead.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 16Experimental Modeling of Silicate-Based Geothermal Deposits(Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Çelik, Aslı; Topçu, Gökhan; Baba, Alper; Akdoğan, Yaşar; Şentürk, Ufuk; Demir, Mustafa MuammerScaling by metal silicates represents a major obstacle for geothermal systems. A composition that enables the fabrication of artificial deposits is necessary for the rapid testing of potential inhibitors. In this work, artificial deposits were synthesized by employing experimental conditions similar to those in the Tuzla Geothermal Field in Turkey. Although refluxing enabled the formation of a precipitate that was similar to naturally formed deposits in color and texture, their elemental composition and morphology showed a mismatch. An autoclave enabled the production of a precipitate that more closely resembled naturally formed deposits in color, texture, elemental composition, and structure.Article Citation - WoS: 33Citation - Scopus: 36Epr Studies of Intermolecular Interactions and Competitive Binding of Drugs in a Drug-Bsa Binding Model(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016) Akdoğan, Yaşar; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa; Tatlıdil, Diğdem; Üçüncü, Muhammed; Çakan Akdoğan, GülçinUnderstanding intermolecular interactions between drugs and proteins is very important in drug delivery studies. Here, we studied different binding interactions between salicylic acid and bovine serum albumin (BSA) using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Salicylic acid was labeled with a stable radical (spin label) in order to monitor its mobilized (free) or immobilized (bound to BSA) states. In addition to spin labeled salicylic acid (SL-salicylic acid), its derivatives including SL-benzoic acid, SL-phenol, SL-benzene, SL-cyclohexane and SL-hexane were synthesized to reveal the effects of various drug binding interactions. EPR results of these SL-molecules showed that hydrophobic interaction is the main driving force. Whereas each of the two functional groups (-COOH and -OH) on the benzene ring has a minute but detectable effect on the drug-protein complex formation. In order to investigate the effect of electrostatic interaction on drug binding, cationic BSA (cBSA) was synthesized, altering the negative net charge of BSA to positive. The salicylic acid loading capacity of cBSA is significantly higher compared to that of BSA, indicating the importance of electrostatic interaction in drug binding. Moreover, the competitive binding properties of salicylic acid, ibuprofen and aspirin to BSA were studied. The combined EPR results of SL-salicylic acid/ibuprofen and SL-ibuprofen/salicylic acid showed that ibuprofen is able to replace up to ∼83% of bound SL-salicylic acid, and salicylic acid can replace only ∼14% of the bound SL-ibuprofen. This indicates that ∼97% of all salicylic acid and ibuprofen binding sites are shared. On the other hand, aspirin replaces only ∼23% of bound SL-salicylic acid, and salicylic acid replaces ∼50% of bound SL-aspirin, indicating that ∼73% of all salicylic acid and aspirin binding sites are shared. These results show that EPR spectroscopy in combination with the spin labeling technique is a very powerful method to investigate drug binding dynamics in detail.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 27Physiological Concentrations of Albumin Favor Drug Binding(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015) Tatlıdil, Diğdem; Üçüncü, Muhammed; Akdoğan, YaşarThe ability to track drug binding and release makes electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy well suited for drug delivery studies. Using the continuous wave (cw) EPR technique to extract information about the dynamics of the spin labeled drugs we can simultaneously determine the bound and unbound drugs. Here, spin labeled salicylic acid (SLSA) binding to and release from bovine serum albumin (BSA) is investigated, as a model for drug-transport protein interaction. We studied SLSA-BSA binding in a wide concentration range and found that the stoichiometry of the drug-protein increases significantly when the physiological range of BSA concentration is reached. Our EPR results explicitly reveal that up to ∼7 SLSA can bind to one albumin at the physiological concentration, whereas at lower BSA concentrations (<0.125 mM) the SLSA-BSA stoichiometry is maximum 2. Moreover, we studied drug release and showed that the ratio of bound to unbound SLSA concentrations remains relatively stable during dialysis. This indicates that the binding equilibrium of SLSA is not altered through the process of dialysis. This study demonstrates that cw EPR spectroscopy in combination with spin labeled drugs is an effective technique for binding and release studies and stoichiometric analysis of drug-protein interactions.
