In this study, the ultimate aim was to utilize phenol oxidases of Scytalidium thermophilum in bioorganic syntheses. For this purpose, studies were conducted towards enhancing the production of phenol oxidases by Scytalidium thermophilum, developing a suitable method for laccase activity assays, analyzing the effects of organic solvents on phenol oxidase activity and analysis of the biotransformation of a number of organic substrates by phenol oxidases of Scytalidium thermophilum. In order to enhance the production of phenol oxidases, induction experiments were carried out with gallic acid, syringaldazine and chlorogenic acid. Gallic acid was found as the most effective inducer for phenol oxidase production. Inductive effect of edible mushroom Agaricus bisporus was also assayed, however, the phenolic compounds released by mushroom did not represent any induction for phenol oxidase activity of Scytalidium thermophilum. Different substrates were tested and catechol was determined as the most suitable substrate rather than syringaldazine and ABTS. Molar extinction coefficient (e) of catechol was calculated as 3450 M-1 cm-1 and 3700 M-1 cm-1 by using أsubstrate blankؤ and أenzyme blankؤ respectively at 420 nm. Kinetic parameters, Km and Vmax for the enzymatic reactions in which catechol was used as substrate were calculated as 52.03 mM and 0.253 U/ml respectively from Lineweaver-Burk plot and as 41.25 mM and 0.2055 U/ml from Hanes-Woolf plot. Effect of some organic solvents on phenol oxidases of Scytalidium thermophilum was assayed and DMSO was found as an appropriate solvent for the organic substrates. Phenol oxidase containing culture supernatant could oxidize benzoin, hydrobenzoin and benzoyl benzoin.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel isoxazole-piperazine hybrids as potential anti-cancer agents with inhibitory effect on liver cancer stem cells
Ibis, Kubra; Sinoplu, Esra; ÇALIŞKAN, BURCU; Kahraman, Deniz Cansen; Cetin-Atalay, Rengul; BANOĞLU, ERDEN (2021-10-01)
In our effort for the development of novel anticancer therapeutics, a series of isoxazole-piperazine analogues were prepared, and primarily screened for their antiproliferative potential against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC; Huh7/Mahlavu) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cells. All compounds demonstrated potent to moderate cytotoxicity on all cell lines with IC50 values in the range of 0.09-11.7 mu M. Further biological studies with 6a and 13d in HCC cells have shown that both compounds induced G1 or G2/M arrests...
Synthesis and cellular bioactivities of novel isoxazole derivatives incorporating an arylpiperazine moiety as anticancer agents.
ÇALIŞKAN, BURCU; Nalbat, Esra; Ibis, Kubra; Guzelcan, Ece Akhan; Atalay, Rengül; BANOĞLU, ERDEN (2018-12-01)
In our endeavour towards the development of effective anticancer therapeutics, a novel series of isoxazole-piperazine hybrids were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against human liver (Huh7 and Mahlavu) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines. Within series, compounds 51-o showed the most potent cytotoxicity on all cell lines with IC50 values in the range of 0.3-3.7 mu M. To explore the mechanistic aspects fundamental to the observed activity, further biological studies with 5m and 5o i...
EVALUATION OF THE CHITOSAN-COATING EFFECTIVENESS ON A DENTAL TITANIUM ALLOY IN TERMS OF MICROBIAL AND FIBROBLASTIC ATTACHMENT AND THE EFFECT OF AGING

The aim of this study was to obtain a biocompatible and antimicrobial implant surface by coating Ti6Al4V with chitosan which can be used to create a smooth transmucosal region for a faster and better wound healing and an increased bioactivity. Ti6Al4V plates were first abraded and ultrasonically cleaned and then coated with chitosan. In order to simulate the conditions of an oral environment, a group of coated plates were treated in a thermocycle apparatus. The coatings were evaluated with SEM, EDS, XRD and...
Production of a novel bifunctional catalase-phenol oxidase of Scytalidium thermophilum in the presence of phenolic compounds
YUZUGULLU, Yonca; Ogel, ZÜMRÜT BEGÜM; BOLUKBASI, Ufuk Bakir; Çoruh, Nursen; Karakaş, Gürkan (2011-01-01)
A novel bifunctional catalase with additional phenol oxidase activity (CATPO) is produced by the thermophilic fungus, Scytalidium thermophilum, in a growth-associated manner. In order to study the biological significance of this dual enzyme in relation to phenolic compounds, 14 phenolics were tested for their effect on growth and CATPO production. It was determined that some phenolics exerted a negative effect on growth (catechol, coumaric acid, hydroquinone, kaempferol, myricetin), while others either did ...

Objective and Method: A new series of benzothiazole-piperazine derivatives was synthesized and a complete chemical characterization of the novel compounds was provided. In vitro cytotoxic activities were screened against colorectal (HCT-116), breast (MCF-7) and hepatocellular (Huh7) cancer cell lines by Sulforhodamine B assay.
