Synthesis of peptide-fullerenol conjugate and peptide hydrogels for drug delivery Demirci, Hande; Özçubukçu, Salih; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2022-1-7) In past decades, peptides were examined thoroughly and their use for biomedical applications enhanced largely. Peptides can be used in different forms such as selfassembly hydrogels, scaffolds, nanotubes, etc. These forms benefit various applications such as developing drugs, targeted drug delivery, wound dressings, and tissue engineering. Peptide hydrogels are used mostly for these applications that were mentioned previously. In addition, peptides can have antimicrobial properties depending on their sequen...
Synthesis of chiral diene systems via ring closing enyne metathesis and their applications in diels-alder reactions Çayır, Merve; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2010) The main subject of this thesis is synthesis of chiral diene systems via Ring Closing Enyne Metathesis (RCEM). Furan and thiophene carbaldehydes were chosen as starting compounds. As a result of allylation and propargylation reaction of these aldehydes targeting racemic heteroaryl substituted homoallylic and homopropargylic alcohols were synthesized. Enantiomerically enriched alcohols were obtained by enzymatic resolution method with different enzymes (PS-II, Lipozyme) with the high enantiomeric excess valu...
Structure-based design, synthesis and anticancer effect of cyclic Smac-polyarginine peptides Khalily, Melek Parlak; GEREKÇİ, Selin; Gulec, Ezgi A.; Özen, Can; Özçubukçu, Salih (2018-11-01) The second mitochondria-derived activator of caspase (Smac/DIABLO) is a pro-apoptotic protein that released from mitochondria into the cytosol when cells undergo apoptosis. Smac promotes caspase activation by binding the inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAP), particularly XIAP and eliminating their inhibitory activity. Although the seven N-terminal amino acids AVPIAQK (SmacN7) of Smac protein is able to elicit an anticancer response by itself, it is neither cell-permeable nor stable in the cellular environ...
PREPARATION OF MULTILAYER CAPSULES CONTAINING DODECAHYDRO-CLOSO-DODECABORATE LOADED POLYMER MICELLES Aydemir, Umut; Erel Göktepe, İrem; Akdağ, Akın; Department of Biochemistry (2021-9-24) Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a non-invasive radiotherapy technique which is based on delivery of non-radioactive 10B compounds to cancer cells and irradiation of the tumour tissues with low energy thermal neutrons. It is a promising radiotherapy technique due to reduce the side effects of the treatment. The main goal of this thesis is to prepare a non-toxic polymer vehicle to provide efficient delivery of 10B to cancer cells. Dodecahydro-closo-dodecaborate (B12H12)2- (B12) anion was utilized as a...
Synthesis and biological evaluation of optically active conjugated gamma- and delta-lactone derivatives ŞARDAN, Melis; Sezer, Serdar; GUNEL, Aslihan; AKKAYA, MAHİNUR; Tanyeli, Cihangir (2012-09-15) An efficient synthesis of racemic and both enantiomeric forms of heteroaryl substituted gamma- and delta-lactone derivatives derived from allyl and homoallyl alcohol backbones has been accomplished via ring closing metathesis reaction. 2-Heteroaryl substituted allyl and homoallyl alcohols have been efficiently resolved through enzymatic method with high ee (97-99%) and known stereochemistry. Antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of target lactones were evaluated.
