This study was designed to investigate the cytotoxic and antioxidative properties of Aesculus hippocastanum L. (A. hippocastanum) bark extracts. Dried and powdered barks were extracted in ethanol, methanol, water and ethylacetate at a ratio of 1:6 (w/v). Antioxidative capacity of each extract (ethanol, methanol, water and ethylacetate) were determined by their ability to scavenge 1, 1 -diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl radical (DPPH). Effective concentration (EC50) values were calculated as 0.010 mg/mL 0.011 mg/mL, 0.009 and 0.019 mg/mL, respectively for ethanol, methanol, ethylacetate and aqueous extracts. The highest DPPH radical scavenging activity was demonstrated by ethyl acetate among the four bark extracts of A. hippocastanum. Nevertheless, methanol extract was preferred for the separation, identification and further quantification of ıts phenolic compounds using HPLC method. Analytical and semipreparative HPLC methods were applied to qualify and quantify the isolates. Human Myeloid Leukemia (HL - 60) cell line was used as a model system for the proliferation studies. HL - 60 cells were cultured in the presence of various concentrations (0 to 100 g/mL) of methanol bark extract and, also, with the various concentrations of standard esculetin. HL-60 cell viability was examined by tryphan blue and the metabolism of tetrazolium salt XTT (2,3-bis(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-5-[(phenylamino) -carbonyl]-2H-tetrazolium hydroxide). XTT effective dose (ED50) values for the proliferation studies of methanol extract and standard esculetin were calculated as 56.18 g/mL and 21.23 g/mL, respectively. These results suggested that A. hippocastanum methanol bark extract and esculetin could be considered as a potent antioxidant and cytotoxic agent.

Aromatic amino acid synthesis performance of bacillus acidocaldarius Kocabaş, Pınar; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2004) In this study, the effects of bioprocess operation parameters on aromatic amino acid synthesis performance of Bacillus acidocaldarius were investigated. Firstly, in laboratory scale shake-bioreactors, a defined medium was designed in terms of its carbon and nitrogen sources, to achieve the highest cell concentration. Thereafter, the effects of bioprocess operation parameters, i.e., pH and temperature were investigated; and the optimum medium contained (kg m-3): fructose, 8; (NH4)2HPO4, 5; CaCl2, 0.2; KH2PO4...
STIMULATORY EFFECTS OF LUNG CYTOCHROME B5 ON BENZPHETAMINE N-DEMETHYLATION IN A RECONSTITUTED SYSTEM CONTAINING LUNG CYTOCHROME P450LGM2 ARINC, E; PASHA, RPK; Adalı, Orhan; BASARAN, N (Elsevier BV, 1994-08-01) 1. Cytochrome b 5 was partially purified from sheep lung microsomes in the presence of detergents Emulgen 913 and cholate by three consecutive DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration chromatographies.
Investigation for natural extract inhibitors of bovine lens aldose reductase responsible for the formation of diabetis dependent cataract Onay, Melih; Çoruh, Nursen; Department of Biochemistry (2008) In the polyol pathway, Aldose reductase (AR) is an important enzyme in reduction of aldehydes and aldosugars to their suitable alcohols. AR, using NADPH as a coenzyme, has a molecular weight of 37 000 dalton. AR in its activated form, known to increase the sorbitol accumulation in lens, is responsible for the cataract formation in diabetis diseases. Therefore, the inhibition of aldose reductase is important to prevent the incedence of cataract formation in diabetus mellitus. In the treatment of diabetis dep...
AMINO-ACID SUBSTITUTIONS WITHIN THE ANALOGOUS NUCLEOTIDE-BINDING LOOP (P-LOOP) OF AMINOGLYCOSIDE 3'-PHOSPHOTRANSFERASE-II KOCABIVIK, S; PERLIN, MH (Elsevier BV, 1994-01-01) 1. Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis of APH(3')-II was used to investigate the functions of key amino acids in the P-loop analogous motif of the enzyme. 2. The mutations of Gly205 --> GIu, Gly210 --> Ala and Arg211 --> Pro considerably reduced the resistance of the resulting strains to KM and to related drugs, e.g. G418. 3. Similarly, enzyme activity in the crude extracts of these mutants was substantially reduced as well as the enzyme's affinity for Mg2+ ATP. 4. Alternatively substitutions at a highly c...
Isolation and immunological characterization of theta class glutathione-s-transferase gstt2-2 from bovine liver İşgör, Sultan Belgin; Çoruh, Nursen; Department of Biochemistry (2004) The glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) (EC.2.5.1.18) are enzymes that participate in cellular detoxification of endogenous as well as foreign electrophilic compounds, function in the cellular detoxification systems and are evolved to protect cells against reactive oxygen metabolites by conjugating the reactive molecules to the nucleophile scavenging tripeptide glutathione (GSH, ?-glu-cys-gly). The GSTs are found in all eukaryotes and prokaryotic systems, in the cytoplasm, on the microsomes, and in the mitoch...
