Objective: Mutagenicity is an undesirable side effect of clinically prescribed drugs, thus raises the question of their potential carcinogenicity. Taking into account that nitro compounds are known for their genotoxicity, it will be considerable interest to assess the genotoxic activities of the benzimidazole/thiazolidinedione retinoid derivatives. For this reason, the present study reports the genotoxicity of previously synthesized benzimidazole/thiazolidinedione-retinoid derivatives (Ates-Alagoz and Buyukbingol, 2001; Ates-Alagoz et. al., 2009) by the umu-microplate test system.

Dysregulation of hypothalamic modulation in olanzapine treated male rats
Sezlev-Bilecen, Deniz; AK, MEHMET; Yanık, Tülin (Elsevier BV, 2016-11-03)
The mechanism of weight gain through application of olanzapine, a serotonin and dopamine receptor antagonist has not been fully understood. Weight gain and food intake are under the control of various neurohormones; POMC (proopiomelanocortin), CART (cocaine and amphetamine regulated transcript), AgRP (Agouti-related peptide) and NPY (neuropeptide Y) that are majorly synthesized and secreted from the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of hypothalamus. In this study, the alteration of the ARC neurohormone levels in rats w...
Determination of hypothalamic neuropeptide levels involved in appetite regulation in atypical antipsychotic drug, risperidone treatment
Kurşungöz, Canan; Yanık, Tülin; Department of Biology (2012)
Although the use of atypical antipsychotic drugs is successful in the treatment of schizophrenia, they cause complications in the long term use that is mainly weight gain. In this study, circulating levels of hypothalamic neuropeptides/hormones, which are related to appetite regulation; neuropeptide Y (NPY), alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), cocaine and amphethamine regulated transcript (CART) and plus leptin in male schizophrenic patients who were treated with an atypical antipsychotic drug, ri...
Genotoxicity of potent antiviral 1-[(2-aminophenyl)thio]-1-phenyl-2-nitrobutane derivatives designed as drug agents
Doğan, Tuğba; Gokce, Mehtap; ÖZTÜRK, KAMİLE (2014-01-01)
Objective: Genotoxic potentials of six selected nitrobutane (I) derivatives designed as drug agents were tested here for the first time using umu-microplate test system. An important principle in drug development is to perform safety tests of previously determined significant drug activity in in vitro assays. This may be even more crucial than its efficiency in terms of experimental conditions, since it is important in chemotherapy to treat without risk for the patient.
Differential gene expression analysis related to extracellular matrix components in drug-resistant RPMI-8226 cell line
Mutlu, Pelin; Gündüz, Ufuk (Elsevier BV, 2012-4)
Drug resistance remains a major obstacle to the successful use of chemotherapeutic drugs for many types of cancers including multiple myeloma. It is becoming increasingly apparent that tumor microenvironment could provide a shelter to malignant plasma cells that allow their survival after initial drug exposure. This study demonstrates alterations in gene expression levels of several extracellular matrix (ECM) components in prednisone, vincristine and melphalan-resistant RPMI-8226 myeloma cells. Resistant RP...
Electrochemical detection of dopamine in the presence of excess ascorbic acid using glassy carbon electrodes modified with conducting polymers
Şanlı, Samet; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar; Volkan, Mürvet; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2018)
In this study, the main goal was to prepare new modified electrodes to be used in the dopamine (DA) determination in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA). For this purpose, the surface of glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) were modified with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), polyoxometalate (POM) doped PEDOT, poly (9-amino fluorene) (P9AF) and poly(9-fluorene carboxylic acid) (PFCA) by using electrochemical polymerization method. The modified electrodes were used as a working electrode in the presence of ...
