Chia Collected From Karaburun Peninsula and Neuroprotective Activities of the Isolates(Georg Thieme Verlag, 2022) Demir, Mehmet; Üner, Göklem; Mu, Kurt; Aygün, M.; Ballar Kırmızıbayrak, Petek; Bedir, Erdal[No Abstract Available]Conference Object Short Lecture Novel Neuroprotective Metabolites Produced Via Biotransformation of Cyclocephagenol by Alternaria Eureka 1e1bl1(Georg Thieme Verlag, 2022) Küçüksolak, Melis; Üner, Göklem; Ballar Kırmızıbayrak, Petek; Bedir, ErdalNeurodegeneration refers to the loss of structure/function of neurons leading to neurological diseases including Alzheimerʼs and Parkinsonʼs. The discovery of novel therapeutics against neurodegenerative diseases has been an area of intense research as neurodegenerative diseases are a huge burden on society and the economy [1]. Numerous studies reported that natural products have the potential to prevent and treat neurodegeneration. Among these studies, the neuroprotective activities of cycloartane-type saponins are noteworthy [2], [3]. In our preliminary studies, the neuroprotective activity of cyclocephagenol, an aglycone of cyclocephaloside I from Astragalus microcephalus [4], was screened for H2O2-induced injury in SH-SY5Y cells. Based on the promising bioactivity of cyclocephagenol, the aims of this study were: i) to perform microbial transformation studies on cyclocephagenol using Alternaria eureka followed by isolation and structural characterization of the metabolites; ii) to investigate neuroprotective activities of the metabolites; iii) to understand structure-activity relationships towards neuroprotection.Conference Object A New Semi-Synthetic Sapogenol Derivative Inducing Regulated Necrosis(Georg Thieme Verlag, 2019) Üner, Göklem; Ballar Kırmızıbayrak, Petek; Bedir, ErdalSince saponin’s antitumor potency is relatively weak, researchers focus on their semi-synthetic modification to obtain structures with higher potencies. With the same motivation, we prepared a cytotoxic sapogenol derivative (AG-08) from cycloastragenol. Our preliminary studies revealed that AG-08 induced primarily necrotic cell death along with autophagic inhibition. Furthermore, immunoblotting experiments demonstrated that AG-08 promoted cleavage of various proteins such as ATGs, p62, and PARP-1.
