    Synthesis and Anticancer Activity Evaluation of New Isoindole Analogues
    (Birkhauser Verlag, 2017) Köse, Aytekin; Bal, Yıldız; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; Kara, Yunus
    We have developed a versatile synthetic approach for the synthesis of new isoindole derivatives via the cleavage of ethers from tricyclic imide skeleton compounds. An exo-cycloadduct prepared from the Diels–Alder reaction of furan and maleic anhydride furnished imide derivatives. The epoxide ring was opened with Ac2O in the presence of a catalytic amount of H2SO4 in order to yield new isoindole derivatives (8a and 8b). The anticancer activity of these compounds was evaluated against MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma) and A549 (adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial) cell lines. The synthesized compounds showed concentration- and time-dependent inhibitory effects on the viability of both cell lines. Compound 8a was more toxic compared to 8b in both cancer cell lines, having higher cytotoxicity against A549 cells. Testing the toxicity properties of these compounds on the BEAS 2B (human bronchial epithelial) cell line indicated that while both compounds decreased the cell viability of cancer cells, they were less toxic on healthy lung cells. Microscopy images of A549 cells after treatment with the new isoindole derivatives displayed characteristic apoptotic morphology compared to BEAS 2B cells. The results demonstrated here suggest that these new compounds might be considered as possible potential anticancer agents for the treatment of lung and breast cancer. © 2017, Springer Science+Business Media New York.

    Bodipy-Conjugated Chitosan Nanoparticles as a Fluorescent Probe
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2017) Bor, Gizem; Üçüncü, Muhammed; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa; Tomak, Aysel; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah
    Recently, development of fluorescent nanoparticle-based probes for various bioimaging applications has attracted great attention. This work aims to develop a new type fluorescent nanoparticle conjugate and evaluate its cytotoxic effects on A549 and BEAS 2B cell lines. Throughout the study, ionically crosslinked chitosan nanoparticles (CNs) were conjugated with carboxylated 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY-COOH). The results of conjugates (BODIPY-CNs) were investigated with regard to their physic-chemical, optical, cytotoxic properties and cellular internalization. The morphology of BODIPY-CNs was found to be spherical in shape and quite uniform having average diameter of 70.25 ± 11.99 nm. Cytotoxicty studies indicated that although BODIPY-COOH itself was quite toxic on both A549- and BEAS 2B-treated cells, CNs increased the cell viability of both cell lines via conjugation to BODIPY-COOH fluorescent molecule up to 67% for A549 and 74% for BEAS 2B cells. These results may suggest a possible utilization of the new fluorescent nanoparticle-based probe for bioimaging in biology and medicine.
