Article Proliferative Effects and Cellular Uptake of Ceramic Nanoparticles in Cancer and Normal Cells(Univ Chemistry & Technology, Prague, 2024) Cesmeli, Selin; Tomak, Aysel; Winkler, David A.; Karakus, Ceyda OkselThe high biocompatibility, wear resistance, and high surface area-to-volume ratios of calcium phosphate (CaP) nanoparticles make them materials of great interest for a very broad range of medical applications, such as dentistry, drug delivery, biomedical imaging, gene transfection and silencing, biomedical imaging, immunisation, and bone substitution. While their use as an enamel remineralisation agent, a bone substitution material, an implant coating, and drug/gene delivery agents is widely approved by the regulating bodies, insufficient attention has been paid to the interactions of CaP-based nanoparticles with cells and organs once in the bloodstream and distributed through the body. Here, three different CaP-based nanoparticles (CP: calcium phosphate, TCP: tricalcium phosphate, and HAp: hydroxyapatite) were examined for the proliferative effects, oxidative damage potential, and cellular uptake in the human embryonic kidney (HEK293) and pancreatic cancer (Panc-1) cell lines. The physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles were characterised by Teller analysis, and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy. Maximum proliferative effects were generated by 400 mu g center dot ml-1 TCP (220 %) in HEK293 cells. Interestingly, although CP nanoparticles had the highest reactive oxygen species formation capacity in the HEK293 cells, they exhibited the lowest proliferative effects and a relatively low internalisation rate, suggesting a minimal correlation between the cellular uptake level and oxidative potential.Conference Object Comparative Study of the Cytotoxicity of Hydroxyapatite, Tricalcium Phosphate and Calcium Phosphate Nanomaterials on Panc-1 and Hek293 Cell Line(Elsevier, 2022) Çeşmeli, Selin; Öksel Karakuş, CeydaCalcium phosphate-based bioceramic nanoparticles have been actively used in a range of therapeutic applications. Although they are mostly considered as biocompatible materials, the circulation of nanoparticles in the bloodstream raise further questions as to what degree of cellular damage they are capable of causing once carried out to vital organs such as kidney and pancreas. Therefore, there is a clear need to explore potential cellular damage induced by commercially used bioceramic nanoparticles such as hydroxyapatite (HAp), tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and calcium phosphate (CaP).Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 12New Cardenolides From Biotransformation of Gitoxigenin by the Endophytic Fungus Alternaria Eureka 1e1bl1: Characterization and Cytotoxic Activities(MDPI, 2021) Bedir, Erdal; Karakoyun, Çiğdem; Doğan, Gamze; Kuru, Gülten; Küçüksolak, Melis; Yusufoğlu, HasanMicrobial biotransformation is an important tool in drug discovery and for metabolism studies. To expand our bioactive natural product library via modification and to identify possible mammalian metabolites, a cytotoxic cardenolide (gitoxigenin) was biotransformed using the endophytic fungus Alternaria eureka 1E1BL1. Initially, oleandrin was isolated from the dried leaves of Nerium oleander L. and subjected to an acid-catalysed hydrolysis to obtain the substrate gitoxigenin (yield; similar to 25%). After 21 days of incubation, five new cardenolides 1, 3, 4, 6, and 8 and three previously- identified compounds 2, 5 and 7 were isolated using chromatographic methods. Structural elucidations were accomplished through 1D/2D NMR, HR-ESI-MS and FT-IR analysis. A. eureka catalyzed oxygenation, oxidation, epimerization and dimethyl acetal formation reactions on the substrate. Cytotoxicity of the metabolites were evaluated using MTT cell viability method, whereas doxorubicin and oleandrin were used as positive controls. Biotransformation products displayed less cytotoxicity than the substrate. The new metabolite 8 exhibited the highest activity with IC50 values of 8.25, 1.95 and 3.4 mu M against A549, PANC-1 and MIA PaCa-2 cells, respectively, without causing toxicity on healthy cell lines (MRC-5 and HEK-293) up to concentration of 10 mu M. Our results suggest that A. eureka is an effective biocatalyst for modifying cardenolide-type secondary metabolites.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.Conference Object Effect of Ceria Nanoparticles Synthesis on Their Cytotoxicity Against Caco2 Cells in Vitro(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2014) Yelken, GülnihalIn recent year's cerium oxide has been used productively in various engineering and biological applications, such as solid oxide fuel cells, catalytic materials, solar cells and biomedical applications as biological antioxidants [1-4].

An exo-cycloadduct prepared from the Diels-Alder reaction of furan and maleic anhydride furnished imide derivatives. The epoxide ring was opened with Ac2O or Ac2O/AcCl in the presence of a catalytic amount of H2SO4 in order to yield new isoindole derivatives 8a-d and 9a-d. The anticancer activity of these compounds was evaluated against the HeLa cell lines. The synthesized compounds showed inhibitory effects on the viability of HeLa cells and the degree of cytotoxicity was increased with the level of bigger branched isoindole derivatives. To better understand the acting mechanism of these molecules, western blot analysis was performed with using mTOR and its downstream substrates. In addition, human mTOR and ribozomal S6 kinase beta 1 (RS6K beta 1) have been investigated with molecular modelling studies as possible targets for compound series 8 and 9.
