Conference Object Bioassay Guided Isolation of Naphthoquinones From Onosma Aksoyii, Investigation of Their Cytotoxic Properties(Georg Thieme Verlag, 2019) Kul, Demet; Bedir, Erdal; Karakoyun, Çiğdem; Yılmaz, Sinem; Yılmaz, Sinem; Pirhan, Ademi Fahri; Bedir, Erdal; 03.01. Department of Bioengineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe genus Onosma L. (Boraginaceae) includes about 230 species, distributed mainly in the Mediterranean region and Central Asia. Major constituents of Onosma species are alkaloids, naphthoquinones, polyphenols, phytosterols, terpenoids and fatty acids [1], [2]. Naphthoquinones are naturally widespread secondary metabolites deriving from some higher plants, fungi and bacteria. They exhibit significant biological activities such as cytotoxicity, antimalarial, antibacterial, antifungal and wound healing [2], [3]. Recently naphthoquinone derivatives have also been recognized as potent topoisomerase inhibitors [4].Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Telomerase Activators Derived From Astragalus Sapogenins Via Biotransformation With the Recently Discovered Endophytic Fungus Camarosporium Laburnicola(Georg Thieme Verlag, 2019) Küçüksolak, Melis; Yılmaz, Sinem; Ekiz, Güner; Duman, Seda; Duman, Seda; Bedir, Erdal; Yılmaz, Sinem; Küçüksolak, Melis; Ballar Kırmızıbayrak, Petek; Bedir, Erdal; 03.01.

Faculty of EngineeringTelomeres are nucleotide sequences that are located at the end of chromosomes shortening with each cell division. Telomerase is a reverse transcriptase enzyme, and it helps to replenish telomere ends that are truncated by aging and stress factors.
