Since their serendipitously discovery in 1993, hydrogel of self-assembling peptides are becoming an emerging field especially in last 10 years. For their application in selective drug delivery, tissue engineering and biomedical applications, divergent peptide libraries can be constructed through chemical peptide synthesis, utilizing synthetic amino acids addition to 21 naturally occurring ones. One of the methods which were applied to obtain self-assembling peptides is incorporating strongly beta-sheet forming amino acids in the sequence of peptides. These peptides having strong beta-sheet structures can undergo self-assembly and form nano fibers resulting a hydrogel character as a macroscopic property under certain conditions. For the application of hydrogel forming peptides, self-assembly should be stimulus responsive and preferably reversible process. The target of this project is to obtain a light controlled self-assembly and hydrogelation of peptides in order to use in biomedical and biotechnological applications. For this purpose, initially, an azobenzene amino acid derivative that can respond to stimuli synthesized using coupling reaction. After the synthesis, including artificial azobenzene amino acid in the middle of peptide sequence; mainly Lysine (K), Alanine (A) / Phenylalanine (F) and Glutamic acid (E) are preferred among the natural amino acids. It is shown that the peptide composed of those mentioned amino acids can respond light. Utilizing the change in geometry and polarity of azobenzene upon irradiating with light, a control in the self-assembly and hydrogelation of the peptide is the target of this project. With the unique design of this system and its photochemical isomerization, hydrogel structure is disrupted and this feature can be used as a selective drug delivery system.

Light triggered self-assembly and hydrogelation of azobenzene bearing peptides and investigation of their nanostructures Tezcan, Meniz; Özçubukçu, Salih; Department of Chemistry (2013) Since their serendipitously discovery in 1993, hydrogel of self-assembling peptides are becoming an emerging field especially in last 10 years. For their application in selective drug delivery, tissue engineering and biomedical applications, divergent peptide libraries can be constructed through chemical peptide synthesis, utilizing synthetic amino acids addition to 21 naturally occurring ones.

Development of new methods for the synthesis of pyrazoles, 4-iodopyrazoles, isoxazoles and 1,2,4-oxadiazoles Kıvrak, Arif; Zora, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2011) Synthesis of five-membered heteroaromatic compounds such as pyrazoles, isoxazoles and 1,2,4-oxadiazoles are important for pharmaceutical industry and material science due to their applications. Although there are many methods to prepare such compounds, new variants continue to appear since they exhibit a wide range of biological and medicinal activities. In this thesis, new methods were developed for the synthesis of 4-iodopyrazoles, pyrazoles, isoxazoles, 1,2,4-oxadiazoles and/or 1,2,4-oxadiazepines. In th...
Enantioselective Michael Addition of Nitroalkanes to Nitroalkenes Catalyzed by Chiral Bifunctional Quinine-Based Squaramides KANBEROĞLU, Esra; Tanyeli, Cihangir (2016-01-01) A family of chiral bifunctional acid-/base-type quinine/squaramide organocatalysts is shown to be highly active promoters of the conjugate addition of 1-nitropropane to various trans--nitroalkenes. The cooperation of the quinine and the sterically encumbered squaramide moieties catalyzed the Michael addition reactions at 0 degrees C by using a catalyst loading of only 2mol% to afford the 1,3-dinitro Michael adducts with excellent enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity (up to 95%ee and syn/anti isomers ...
Stereoselective construction of 2-oxindole fused spirocycle precursors / Karahan, Seda; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2019) Recent literature on the bioactivity of isatin (indoline-2,3-dione) derivatives triggered organic chemists to make use of the unique potential of isatin in asymmetric organocatalytic synthesis. Due to extensive presence of 2-oxindole skeleton, especially spiro-fused cycles, in many natural products, they drew the special interest in the disciplines of medicinal chemistry and agrochemistry. Due to highly reactive prochiral carbonyl group, isatins are potent precursors for the synthesis of 3,3-disubstituted s...
Synthesis of paracyclophane-peptide based semiconductive peptide hydrogels Dolgun, Volkan; Özçubukçu, Salih; Department of Chemistry (2017) Self-assembling peptide hydrogels are becoming an emerging field especially in last decades. Application of these hydrogel forming peptides in biomedical materials, organic electronic devices and tissue engineering is a challenging topic which requires alternative structures to get better and to be easily applied systems. [2.2]Paracyclophane has an interesting structure which two benzene rings are bound to each other with a bridge containing 2 carbons. It is known that the distance between two benzene rings...
