    Wound Healing Effects of Various Fractions of Olive Leaf Extract (ole) on Mouse Fibroblasts
    (Ars Docendi, 2018) Erdoğan, İpek; Bayraktar, Oğuz; Uslu, Mehmet Emin; Tüncel, Özge
    Olive (Olea europaea) leaf has been introduced as a potential therapeutic in wound healing owing to combined antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. Comparison of crude extract and its fractions in terms of antioxidant capacity, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity to gain insight about cell migration rate under exogenous stress of H2O2, as a hallmark of wound healing constituted the objective of this study. Oleuropein-containing fraction exerted the highest cell migration rate among other fractions that contains hydroxytyrosol, verbascoside and luteolin, whilst treatment with high concentrations (50 mu g/ml) of this fraction simultaneously with H2O2 caused a dramatic decline in cell migration, resulting in the loss of cell adherence. Results overall indicated that active compounds caused an imbalance in redox signaling beyond a critical concentration. Comparison of fractions and crude extract also revealed that crude extract promoted cell migration by 20%, which may be attributed to synergistic effect of undefined phenolics.

    Optimization of Extraction Conditions for Active Components in Equisetum Arvense Extract
    (Ars Docendi, 2013) Uslu, Mehmet Emin; Erdoğan, İpek; Bayraktar, Oğuz; Ateş, Mehmet
    Response surface methodology was applied to predict optimum conditions for equisetum arvense extraction. Central composite design was used to monitor the effects of temperature, stirring speed, ethanol percent, extraction time, solid-liquid ratio on dependent variables such as, extract yield percent, total phenol content, total antioxidant capacity, silicic acid amount. According to the mathematical models obtained from the analysis, the highest values for yield percent, total phenol content, total antioxidant capacity and silicic acid amount were found to be 18.67 %, 123 mg gallic acid gr-1 dry weight extract, 1608 μM TEAC mg-1 dry weight extract and 0.0049 mg silicic acid mg-1 dry weight extract, respectively. The plant extracts were analyzed with HPLC to determine the phenolic content and compositional differences of extracts obtained at different extraction conditions. Plant extracts were also analyzed for their cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities. The high total antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content resulted in an increased cytotoxic effect on fibroblast cells. Equisetum arvense extracts showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli bacteria, however showed no effect against Candida albicans. © 2013 University of Bucharest.
