Polyurethane surfaces were modified by covalent immobilization of different molecular weight heparins (fractionated Mw similar to 3000 Da, and unfractionated Mw similar to 17,000-19,000 Da) and examined by ESCA, AFM, and contact angle goniometer. The effect of these different surface-immobilized heparins on blood protein adsorption and on platelet adhesion, were examined after incubating the samples with platelet-poor and platelet-rich plasma. Protein adsorption kinetics was studied by electrophoresis and the platelets adhered on the surfaces were examined by SEM after incubation. The two heparin types clearly showed different behavior with respect to protein adsorption, especially in the early stages of blood plasma interaction. After a 5-min incubation in plasma, low molecular weight heparin-immobilized polyurethanes (PU-LMWH) showed three times less protein adsorption compared to unfractionated heparin-immobilized polyurethanes (PU-UFH). The total amount of adhered protein became more similar as the incubation time was extended. The morphology of adhered platelets on material surfaces demonstrated differences: PU-UFH had clusters with some pseudopodia extensions, while PU-LMWH surfaces had round-shaped platelets with little clustering. For contact times > 15 min, the amount of adsorbed proteins and adhered platelets on the heparinized PU surfaces decreased.

Controlled release of vancomycin from biodegradable microcapsules Ozalp, Y; Ozdemir, N; Kocagoz, S; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2001-01-01) Poly D,L-lactic acid (PLA) and its copolymers with glycolide PLGA 90:10 and 70:30 were polymerized under various conditions to yield polymers in the molecular weight range 12 000-40 000 daltons, as determined by gel permeation chromatography. Vancomycin hydrochloride was the hydrophilic drug of choice for the treatment of methicillin resistant Staphyloccoccal infections. It was microencapsulated in the synthesized polymers using water-oil-water (w/o/w) double emulsion and solvent evaporation. The influence ...
Blood compatibility of polymers derived from natural materials Fedel, Mariangela; Endoğan Tanır, Tuğba; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Maniglio, Devid; Morelli, Andrea; Chiellini, Federica; Motta, Antonella (2012-07-01) Several polymers derived from natural materials are effective for tissue engineering or drug delivery applications, due to specific properties, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and structural activity. Their blood compatibility needs to be carefully evaluated to avoid thrombosis and other material-related adverse events in the hematic environment. We compared the surface properties and blood compatibility of protein and polysaccharide polymers, including fibroin, gelatin, and chitosan. Both fibro...
Design and synthesis of novel substituted indole-acrylamide derivatives and evaluation of their anti-cancer activity as potential tubulin-targeting agents Hawash, Mohammed; Kahraman, Deniz Cansen; OLĞAÇ, ABDURRAHMAN; Ergun, Sezen Guntekin; Hamel, Ernest; Cetin-Atalay, Rengul; BAYTAŞ, SULTAN (2022-04-01) Novel compounds containing polar and nonpolar substitutions on the prop-2-en-1-on linker of the trans-indol-3-ylacrylamide scaffold were designed by modeling within the colchicine site of tubulin and then synthesized to determine the role of such substitutions on tubulin polymerization. We first determined the in vitro antiproliferation activities of the compounds against cancer cell lines with a particular focus on hepatocellular carcinoma. The results indicated that five of the compounds showed moderate a...
Synthesis of CuO nanostructures on zeolite-Y and investigation of their CO2 adsorption properties Boruban, Cansu; Nalbant Esentürk, Emren (2017-10-01) Copper(II) oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) in two different morphologies, spiky and spherical, were synthesized on zeolite-Y by a modified impregnation method, and their CO2 adsorbing capabilities were investigated under standard conditions (1 atm and 298 K). The properties and CO2 adsorption performances of the hybrid systems were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic absorption s...
Ni-55 nanocluster: a density functional theory study of the binding energy of nickel and ethylene adsorption Yilmazer, Nusret Duygu; Fellah, Mehmet Ferdi; Önal, Işık (2012-01-01) Ethylene adsorption on a Ni-55 nanocluster was studied by Weal IS of the density functional theory (DFT)/B3LYP using the basis sets of 6-31G(d,p) and 86-411(41d)G in Gaussian 03. The Ni-55 nanocluster was found to have a distorted icosahedral geometry, in accordance with the experimental findings. The binding energy value for the Ni-55 nanocluster was calculated to be 3.51 eV/atom using equilibrium geometry calculations. The estimated bulk nickel binding energy was in reasonable agreement with the experimen...
