TSapropterin Dihydrochloride is the synthetic form of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) which is cofactor of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) enzyme. For people with phenylketonuria (PKU), oral administration of sapropterin dihydrochloride decrease phenylalanine level in blood by converting it to tyrosine. The purpose of this study is to develop an analytical method for the determination of this active ingredient in order to follow the production of the generic drug development of Kuvan®. Fourier-Transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma/mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), chloride content and high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detector HPLC/UV analysis were used in order to investigate purity and to ensure specifications of Sapropterin Dihydrochloride (SAP). Because of high selectivity and sensitivity of HPLC/UV analysis were used as a reference method for the quantitative analysis of SAP. The study continued with UV/Visible Spectroscopy (UV/VIS) analysis. A method from the literature with Folin-Coicalteu (FC) reagent was studied and compatible results were obtained with respect to HPLC/UV method. By using cyclic voltammetry, oxidation and reduction potentials of SAP was calculated and with this oxidation potential CuSO4 was selected as coloring agent for UV/CuSO4 method of quantitative analysis. This method worked very well for the determination of sapropterin concentration for 5 to 65 ppm. without having any interference from the other ingredients present in the drug. Square wave voltammetry also used as an assay method at the potential value of 0.27 V. In this thesis, reliable, precise and easy-to-use methods were successfully developed and validated for the assay investigation of Sapropterin dihydrochloride. An analysis method with paper sensor was developed and linearity of method was studied but further investigation was needed to use this method for pharmaceutical dosage forms.

Identification of small-molecule urea derivatives as novel NAMPT inhibitors via pharmacophore-based virtual screening Ozgencil, Fikriye; EREN, GÖKÇEN; ÖZKAN, YEŞİM; GÜNTEKİN ERGÜN, SEZEN; Atalay, Rengül (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01) Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) catalyzes the condensation of nicotinamide (NAM) with 5-phosphoribosyl-1-prophosphate (PRPP) to yield nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a rate limiting enzyme in a mammalian salvage pathway of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) synthesis. Recently, intracellular NAD(+) has received substantial attention due to the recent discovery that several enzymes including poly(ADPribose) polymerases (PARPs), mono(ADP-ribose) transferases (ARTs), and sirtuins (SIR...
Determination of binary pesticide mixtures by an acetylcholinesterase-choline oxidase biosensor Kok, FN; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2004-02-15) In this study, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and choline oxidase (ChO) were co-immobilized on poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) membranes to construct a biosensor for the detection of anti-cholinesterase compounds. pHEMA membranes were prepared with the addition of SnCl4 to achieve the desired porosity. Immobilization of the enzymes was done by surface attachment via epichlorohydrin (Epi) and Cibacron Blue F3G-A (CB) activation. Enzyme immobilized membrane was used in the detection of anti-cholineste...
Purification and some properties of an oxydative inhibitor in rabbit reticulocyte lysates Erdogdu, G; Dholakia, JN; Wahba, AJ (1998-09-01) Protein synthesis in rabbit reticulocyte lysates in the presence of heme is inhibited by 50% by the addition of 4 mM GSSG (oxidized glutathione). The incubation of the rabbit reticulocyte lysate with 4 mM GSSG at 30 degrees C for 30 min will cause activation of an inhibitor of protein synthesis which could be purified from the lysates through a five-step procedure. The inhibitor results in a 70-80% inhibition after alh incubation. The inhibitor consists of one polypeptide of 23 kDa apparent molecular weight...
STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY-RELATIONSHIPS OF SOME ANTIMICROBIAL 5-SUBSTITUTED 2-(3-PYRIDYL) BENZOXAZOLES USING QUANTUM-CHEMICAL CALCULATIONS SENER, E; TURGUT, H; YALCIN, I; OREN, I; Türker, Burhan Lemi; CELEBI, N; AKIN, A (Elsevier BV, 1994-09-19) The synthesis and in vitro antimicrobial activity of 5-substituted 2-(3-pyridyl)benzoxazoles (3-7) is described for some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and the yeast Candida albicans. The compounds 3-7 exhibited significant activity against the screened microorganisms, having MIC values between 25 and 12.5 mu g/ml. Quantum-chemical calculations were performed for the compounds 1-10, in order to observe some feasible structure-activity relationships. These theoretical observations, calculated for t...
Synthesis of a novel poly(arylene ether ketone) and its conducting composites with polypyrrole Selampinar, F; Akbulut, Ural; Yildiz, E; Gungor, A; Toppare, Levent Kamil (1997-08-01) The synthesis of a 1,3-bis(4-fluorobenzoyl)-5-tert-butyl benzene and hexafluoro bisphenol A based poly(arylene ether ketone) (PEK) was described. The electrically conductive composites of polypyrrole (PPy) and PEK were formed by electropolymerization of pyrrole on a PEK coated platinum electrode in a medium containing water and p-toluenesulfonic acid as the solvent and the electrolyte, respectively. The electrical conductivity of the composites was found to be between 1 and 4 S/cm. The polypyrrole/poly( eth...
