Master Thesis Synthesis of 1,2,3-Triazole Substituted Azacoumarin Derivatives as Potential Antiproliferative Compounds(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Erdoğmuş, Mustafa; Çağır, AliCancer is one of the deadly diseases that affects millions of people every year and causes death. Although studies toward its treatment are very promising, they are not sufficient. Therefore, the need for new and powerful molecules with less side effects is increasing day by day. 1-Azacoumarin derivatives are molecules whose potential biological activity has just begun to be understood, but not enough research has been done on them. 1,2,3-Triazole structures, on the other hand, are a very important family of molecules in some drugs, whose biological effects have been known for many years. It is known that they have important roles in cancer-preventing mechanisms in various types of cancer. In this study, two different 1,2,3-triazole 1-azacoumarin derivatives were tried to be synthesized. For structure 149, it was aimed to form yinon first and then formation of 1,2,3-triazole was studied but failed. Afterwards, the emphasis was placed on the production of 1-azacoumarin, and then click chemistry experiments were carried out in the presence of copper (I) catalyst. Finally, click chemistry studies were tested in the presence of a nickel catalyst for structure 150. Triazole formation experiments were carried out by click chemistry in the presence of copper catalyst after 1-azacoumarin was obtained.Master Thesis In-Vitro Evaluation Cytotoxic Potential of Novel Isoindole Derivatives on Various Cancer Cell Lines(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Yemeztaşlıca Yetişkin, Egehan; Gülşah Şanlı MohamedCancer, which is the disease of our age, arises because of a very complex set of mechanisms. Especially with the proliferation of cancer disease and the increase in cancer-related deaths, it has a great impact on the development of drug studies by improving existing treatments or researching new treatment methods. Cantharidine and its analogs are natural anhydrides with an inhibitory effect on protein phosphatases. However, they are not included in cancer therapies due to their toxicity. In recent studies, it has been found that derivatives of cantharidin as isoindole-1,3-dione and its derivatives have anticancer effects. The main purpose of this study to investigate the effects of four different drugs, which are newly synthesized isoindole derivatives for use in cancer treatment, on different cancer cells. The cytotoxic effects of drugs on A549 (human lung adenocarcinoma), HeLa (human cervical carcinoma), PC3 (human prostate carcinoma), MCF-7 (human breast carcinoma), and Caco-2 (human colorectal carcinoma) cell lines were investigated by the MTT assay method, and the optimum incubation time was determined, then IC50 values were calculated. Then, the IC50 concentrations of the drugs were applied at 48 hours, which is the optimum incubation period, and apoptotic stages and cell cycle stages were compared using flow cytometry to understand whether the drugs have a suppressive function in cancer development. Scratch assay was performed to investigate the migration effect of drugs on cells. The results showed that the drugs are suppressive to cancer cells and can be used for therapeutic purposes in the future.Master Thesis Development of Ultrasound Triggered Drug Delivery Systems for Cancer Treatment(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Önercan, Cansu; Kılıç Özdemir, SevgiDoxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most commonly used hydrophilic anticancer drug in cancer treatment. However, when it is used in free form, it can attack not only cancer cells but also healthy cells. So as to prevent entering of DOX to the healthy cells, the encapsulation method is employed. Liposomes are suitable for encapsulation of DOX but the most important problems with the use of liposome are hand-foot syndrome and stomatitis. Encapsulation method is not enough because of these reasons, thus delivery of DOX to the desired site by targeted therapy has gained interest in recent years. In this study, DOX was encapsulated into liposomes and the DOX loaded liposomes (LipoDOX) was attached to microbubbles (MBs). MBs as ultrasound contrast agents are widely used in medical imaging. Use of MBs in combination of DOX loaded liposomes facilitates the uptake of the drug because ultrasound cavitation results in opening of transient pores in cell membrane via a process named sonoporation. Herein, MB-LipoDOX complex was engineered to optimize the size of the complex as well as the loaded DOX content. For this purpose, determination of incubation temperature and time for DOX loading into liposome and optimization of liposome formulation for maximum DOX loading were studied. Ratios of Lipid/Cholesterol/PEGylated lipid, PEG chain length and PEG molar ratio in liposome were determined. Also, determination of Strept Avidin (StAv) to Biotin ratio in LipoDOX and the amount of LipoDOX in LipoDOX-MB complex were studied. For characterization, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) method, Fluorescence Spectrometry method and Coulter Counter device were used. Lipoosme size was found to be associated with the pore size of polycarbonate membrane (200nm) resulting in liposomes at around 190±5 nm in size . When the PEGylated lipid with PEG chain of 2000 was used in liposome structure, particle size distribution is more monodispersed than the others. The maximum amount of DOX loaded liposomes was obtained at 32% Cholesterol, 5% DSPE-PEG2000, after 90 min. incubation at 65oC incubation. Optimum StAv to Biotin ratio in LipoDOX was determined as 1.0. The optimum molar ratio of Biotinylated lipids in LipoDOX was determined as 0.05% and the optimum molar ratio of Biotinylated lipids in MBs was determined as 8%.Master Thesis Investigation of Anticancer Properties of the Novel Synthesixed Pyrrole Derivatives as Potential Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2017) Kaya, Meltem; Şanlı Mohamed, GülşahIn cancer treatment, chemotherapy has some serious side effects, because it targets active cells which might not be cancer cells. Mouth, hair, nail, bone marrow cells are some examples of active cells. For the reason that chemotherapy has side effects, targeted therapy become more important. Tyrosine kinases are most interested target, because they are necessary for cell growth and metastasis. Active form of tyrosine kinases can cause tumour growth and proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis and antiapoptotic effects. Based on these vital role of tyrosine kinases, they became more important target in cancer treatment. Pyrrole derivatives have been used chemotherapy drugs for years. Semaxanib and Sunitinib, indole derivatives, are tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the biologic activities of novel synthesized seven pyrrole derivatives, their activities on migration, apoptosis, cell cycle, and mTOR downstream as a potential tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The results of this research proved that these seven compounds have toxicity on HeLa cells with the IC50 values of 140.60 μM, 382.82 μM, 366.44 μM, 542.00 μM, 255.86 μM, 148.59 μM, 171.40 μM, respectively, but toxicity effects of drugs do not depend on apoptosis mechanism. Beside this, D1 and D3 were able to effect cell cycle by arresting at S phase for D1 and G1 phase for D3. It was demonstrated that D1 and D3 inhibited cell migration. And this inhibition was reported as in a relation with overexpression of p- 4EBP1, inhibition of p-p70S6K (Thr) and p-p70S6K (Shr) proteins. Considering all results, D1 and D3 might be potent inhibitory of metastasis of HeLa cells with respect to its effect on cell cycle, migration, p-4EBP1, p-p70S6K (Ser), and p-p70S6K (Thr) protein levels.
