    Incorporation of Equisetum Arvense Extract Into Silk Fibroin-Hyaluronic Acid Sponge Matrices for Wound Dressing Applications
    (Elsevier, 2012) Uslu, Mehmet Emin; Erdoğan, İpek; Bayraktar, Oğuz
    Equisetum arvense extract has frequently been investigated for its antioxidant capacity, antimicrobial and antitumor properties. However, one of the challenges in natural compound investi-gations is to maintain the stability of polyphenolic compounds during their storage and applications. For this purpose extracts can be incorporated into different forms of biomaterial. In this research silk fibroin (SF) and hyaluronic acid (HA) was used as sponge matri-ces for wound dressing application.

    In Vitro Antitumor Activity of Sarcopoterium Spinosum Leaf Extract With Bioactive Natural Compounds
    (Elsevier, 2013) Süngüç, Ceren; Erdoğan, İpek; Uslu, Mehmet Emin; Bayraktar, Oğuz
    Cancer cell lines cause generation of reactive oxygen species and free radicals at high levels (Wang and Yi, 2008). Then generated free radicals lead to breakdown of the structure of DNA, lipid or protein (Gul et al., 2011). When plant extracts including antioxidant phytochemicals are exposed to the redox reactions, the harmful effects of free radicals are effectively prevented. The aim of present research was to evaluate the antitumor potential of the extract derived from Sarcopoterium spinosum leaves. The leaves of S. spinosum were collected in Izmir, Turkey. Total phenol content of ethanolic.

    Investigation of Anti-Tumoral Activity of Cistus Creticus Extract Against Pc-3 Cell Line
    (Elsevier, 2013) Erdoğan, İpek; Süngüç, Ceren; Uslu, Mehmet Emin; Bayraktar, Oğuz
    Recent studies have revealed that plant extracts show cytotoxic activities against cancer cell lines by ceasing cell division in particular phases (Xu et al., 2012, Yıldırım et al., 2013). Expression of specific genes was found to be activated according to pathway in which cell death occurs. Objective of this study was to identify antitumoural effect of Cistus creticus, which is a perennial shrub, found in Mediterranean region, against prostate cancer cell line by measuring the cytotoxic activities and apoptotic gene expression levels.
