Dopamine is a neurotransmitter found in central nerve system which has a vital role for human health. Dopamine oxidation in body is an important issue since it may form reactive metabolites which can be toxic to the cell. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is currently recognized as one of the most sensitive spectroscopic tools, which can be exploited for ultrasensitive chemical and biological detection, addition to providing structural information on the systems of interest. SERS of dopamine displays three strong bands at 1269, 1331 and 1479 cm-1. These bands are the signature of dopamine molecule. The most intense band at 1479 cm-1 is contributed mainly from stretching of the carbon-carbon bond to which the oxygens are attached. A bidentate silver-dopamine complex or in general bidentate metal-dopamine complex formation is required for the SERS detection of dopamine and other catecholamines. In other words, for acquiring the characteristic dopamine SERS signature, both of the catechol oxygens should take a part in the adsorption of dopamine to the silver metal surface which is used as a SERS substrate. Therefore, the reactivity of different oxidation forms of dopamine for the formation of bidentate silver-dopamine complex was investigated by obtaining their SERS spectra and following the characteristic C-C ring vibration at 1479 cm-1. Dopamine oxidation was carried out electrochemically, utilizing platinum and silver electrodes as working electrode. Oxidation products formed were identified with UV-vis Spectrometer. Also, silver metal ions were used to oxidize dopamine, leading to formation silver nanoparticles. Dopamine functionalized silver nanoparticles were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope, Transmission Electron Microscope, UV-vis Spectrometer. Surface- enhanced Raman spectra of polydopamine on the surface of synthesized silver nanoparticles and the electrodeposited dopamine on the porous surface of silver electrode were also obtained.

Synthesis of Doxorubicin loaded magnetic chitosan nanoparticles for pH responsive targeted drug delivery
ÜNSOY, GÖZDE; Khodadust, Rouhollah; Yalcin, Serap; Mutlu, Pelin; Gündüz, Ufuk (2014-10-01)
Targeted drug delivery is a promising alternative to overcome the limitations of classical chemotherapy. In an ideal targeted drug delivery system carrier nanoparticles would be directed to the tumor tissue and selectively release therapeutic molecules. As a novel approach, chitosan coated magnetic nanoparticles (CS MNPs) maintain a pH dependent drug delivery which provides targeting of drugs to the tumor site under a magnetic field. Among various materials, chitosan has a great importance as a pH sensitive...
Synthesis and characterization of fatty acid based hyperbranched polymers for anti-cancer drug delivery
Güç, Esra; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biology (2008)
Conventional methods of chemotherapy requires novel therapy systems due to serious side effects and inefficiency of drug administration. In recent years many studies are carried out to improve drug delivery systems. Polymers are one of the most important elements for drug delivery research due to their versatility. By the discovery of dendritic polymers, drug delivery studies gained a new vision. Highly branched monodisperse structure, multiple sites of attachment, well-defined size and controllable physica...
Quantification of Anandamide and 2-Arachidonylglycerol in Plasma Samples: A Short, Non-toxic HPLC Method and Sample Storage
Ozdurak, Rabia Hurrem; Şeker, Tamay; Korkusuz, Petek; Korkusuz, Feza (2010-01-01)
Objective: The endocannabinoid system plays an important modulatory role in brain physiology, pain sensation, appetite regulation, cardiovascular system, female reproductive system and the immune system. The endogenous ligands of cannabinoid receptors, anandamide (ANA) and 2-Arachidonylglycerol (2-AG) have been identified in various mammalian tissues. However, it difficult to quantify them accurately in blood and in tissues since these endogenous cannabinoids are found in small amount and they are metaboliz...
Interactions between G-protein Coupled Receptors and Ligand Gated Ion Channels (GPCR-LGIC COUPLING)
Son, Çağdaş Devrim(2014-9-30)
Dopamine receptors are members of G-protein coupled receptor superfamily. These receptors are the key point of dopaminergic system, which controls the regulation of memory, attention, food intake, endocrine regulation, psychomotor activity and positive reinforcement. To regulate so many critically important neurological events, dopamine receptors have complex interactions with other receptors and ion channels. In this study, a trimeric complex comprising D2 receptor -which is a subtype of dopamine receptors...
Effect of quercetin on mRNA and protein expressions of vitamin D metabolizing CYP27B1 and CYP24A1 in human embryonic kidney cell line (HEK-293)
Durukan, Özlem; Akkulak, Merve; Özhan, Güneş; Evin, Emre; Adalı, Orhan (Wiley, 2018-07-01)
Vitamin D is essential compound for life having role not only in the regulation of calcium metabolism but also in the regulation of cell proliferation, immune responses, cardiovascular homeostasis and nervous system. These wide range of actions occur with the enzymatic conversion of vitamin D to 1a,25-dihydroxyvitamin D by cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs). While CYP27B1 provides the synthesis of hormonally active form of Vitamin D, 1,25(OH)2D, CYP24A1 involves in catabolism of vitamin D. Quercetin, as one of ...
