Master Thesis Studies Toward the Synthesis of Novel Mdm2 Inhibitor Candidates(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Dilek, Fikrican; Çağır, Ali; Çağır, Ali; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyProtein protein interactions are valuable targets to discover novel anticancer agents. One of these is the p53-MDM2 interaction. In one of these interaction MDM2 protein inhibits p53 protein and may cause cancer. New drugs that inhibit this interaction are important for the treatment of cancer. One class of these anticancer agents are morpholinone derivative. In this study, it is aimed to synthesize new morpholinone derivatives. (R)-2-amino-2-(4-chlorophenyl)acetic acid was used as starting material for the synthesis. The first step was a trityl protection of amine with trityl chloride. Trityl protected amino acid was first reduced to N-Trt amino alcohol with LiAlH4 then oxidized to aldehyde by using Dess-Martin periodinane. The resulting aldehyde was reacted with 3-chlorophenylmagnesium bromide. This part of the synthesis was performed successfully. Then addition of methyl fumarate to this Grignard product was studied by a coupling reagents such as HATU. All attempts were failed. Then trityl group was removed by TFA and successfully coupled with methyl fumarate by using HATU. All cyclization reactions in the presence of a base like hydroxide, alkoxide or NaH to form morpholinone skeleton was failed. The cyclization reaction with the potassim carbonate in alcohol was successful and the morpholinone skeleton was formed.Master Thesis Studies Toward the Asymmetric Synthesis of Novel Chiral 1,4-Oxazepan Derivatives(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Vural, Ezgi; Çağır, Ali; Çağır, Ali; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of SciencePharmacophore design to inhibit the interaction between p53 and MDM2 became a novel approach for cancer therapy. p53, known as the guardian of genome, controls the cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and DNA repair under stress. Nonetheless, when over-expressed, MDM2 causes proliferation in the cell and eventually tumorgenesis. The feedback mechanism between p53 and MDM2 arises from the interaction of p53 through the hydrophobic cleft which consists of Phe19, Trp23 and Leu26 aminoacids in the N-terminal of MDM2. In this study, it was aimed to synthesize a new, chiral 1,4-oxazepan-5-one derivatives by asymmetric synthesis. (R)-2-amino-2-(4-chlorophenyl)acetic acid was used as starting material. Amino group was protected by trityl group then the carboxylic acid part was reduced by LiAlH4 to produce N-trityl-protected amino alcohol. Dess Martin periodinane was used for the oxidation of the alcohol to the aldehyde, then 3-chlorophenylmagnesium bromide was added to the aldehyde by Grignard reaction. Deprotection of N-trityl was performed with TFA then, coupling reactions of produced aminoalcohol with different α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids were performed by HATU and DIPEA. Despite all of the attempts, cyclization to seven membered 1,4-oxazepan-5-one ring was never achieved.Master Thesis Comparison Od Side Effects of Anti-Cancer Drugs in 2d and 3d And, Classical and Cell-On Cultures(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2016) Kankale, Deniz; Çağır, Ali; Pesen Okvur, Devrim; Pesen Okvur, Devrim; Çağır, Ali; 04.03.

However, these classical systems fail to reproduce the in-vivo like microenvironment necessary for realistic assessment. In addition, classical cell culture systems use high amount of materials increasing cost. On the other hand, lab-on-a-chip systems use minimal volumes of reagents and more importantly can mimic the in-vivo microenvironment via spatial and temporal control. Furthermore, it is known that cell response to drugs can be very different in 2D and 3D cell culture setups. Doxorubicin is a widely used anticancer drug. Here, doxorubicin uptake by highly metastatic human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 and normal mammary epithelial cell line MCF10A were investigated using 2D and 3D, classical and cell-on-a-chip cultures. Drug uptake at 24, 48 and 72 hours various concentrations of the drug determined by measuring signal intensities from fluorescence microscopy images of cells. For cell viability assay, cells were stained with dapi and two cell lines were compared in systems. According to results, it was observed that 3D cell culture environment in chip provides more in-vivo like environment with less reagent consumption and cell viability is not correlated only with drug uptake.
