Retinoids consist of a family of naturally occuring compounds including all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), retinal, retinol (vitamin A), 9-cis retinoic acid, 13-cis retinoic acid as well as a large number of synthetic derivatives. Retinoids are known to elicit diverse pharmacological profiles such as controlling cell differentiation/proliferation and modulating specific premalignant lesions and reducing second primary tumors in patients. Clinical use of retinoids is limited due to their toxicity. Three benzimidazole retinoid derivatives (BITN, BITNm, BITNe) were synthesized and were examined in terms of genotoxicity towards human lymphocyte cultures by sister chromatid exchange (SCE) analysis. It has been found that BITN decreased the number of SCEs 20% at 10(-6) M, but had no effect at 10(-5) M. No significant effect on SCEs was observed for BITNm and BITNe at both concentrations. ATRA increased the SCEs (35%) at 10(-5) M but had no effect at 10(-6) M. The results have shown that benzimidazole retinoids did not induce SCE significantly. Besides this, BITN reduced the SCEs and had a protective effect at low concentration. Since the induction of glutathione S-transferase (GST) is associated with anticancer drug resistance, the effects of BITN, BITNm, BITNe and ATRA on human lymphocyte GSTs were also investigated using CDNB as substrate. BITN and BITNm induced GST activities 54% and 49% respectively at 10(-5) M, but had no effect at 10(-6) M. BITNe induced GST activity 62% at 10(-5) M and 35% at 10(-6) M. ATRA had no effect on GST activity at 10(-5) M.

The effect of aromatic diboronic acid on characteristics of polybenzoxazine based on phenol and 4-aminomethylbenzoate İPEK, HALİL; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2018-11-23) In this study, a polybenzoxazine, (PPab) based on phenol and 4-aminomethyl benzoate and its composites containing various amounts of 1,4-benzene diboronic acid, (BDBA) were synthesized by stepwise curing. It has been determined that both thermal stability and char yield were increased as the amount of BDBA incorporated was increased. The improvements in thermal characteristics were associated with condensation reactions of B-OH of BDBA and not only with hydroxyl groups of polybenzoxazine but also ester grou...
Quantitative expression analysis of the genes potentially involved in clavulanic acid overproduction in streptomyces clavuligerus Aktaş, Caner; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2018) Streptomyces clavuligerus is the producer of the medically important β-lactam antibiotics, including cephamycin C (CC) and the potent β-lactamase inhibitor clavulanic acid. (CA). We have already undertaken an extensive comparative proteomic analysis by using both 2-DE-MALDI-MS and GeLC-MS approaches between an industrial CA overproducer, namely DEPA and the reference strain NRRL3585. In this context, we documented several differentially expressed (over- and under-represented) proteins accounting for high CA...
EVALUATION OF IN VIVO EFFECTS OF VISCUM ALBUM L. AND ITS CONSTITUENT O-COUMARIC ACID ON BILE ACID SYNTHESIZING CYPS Ege, Tuba; Ozkan, Ayse Mine Gencler; Sena, Alaattin; Adalı, Orhan (2019-01-01) This research was designed to determine about the possible potency of medicinal plants Viscum album L. and its major polyphenolic ingredient, o-coumaric acid on rat liver cholesterol and bile acid metabolizing enzymes. Bioactive compounds of V. album extracts were identified using LC-MS technique. The water extracts of V. album (10 mg/kg) and o-coumaric acid (30 mg/kg) were injected intraperitoneally for 9 days. Then, in vivo effects of this plant and its major phenolic ingredient (o-coumaric acid) on rat l...
Conductimetric and potentiometric titration of some hydroxylated cinnamic acids with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide in non-aqueous media Aktas, AH; Yasar, G; Alsancak, O; Demirci, S (2001-01-01) In this study, four hydroxycinnamic acids, namely 3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid, 4-hydroxycinnamic acid, 4-hydroxy -3- methoxycinnamic acid and 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxycinnamic acid, were titrated conductimetrically and potentiometrically using triethylamine and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide in acetonitrile, 2-propanol, and pyridine solvents under a nitrogen atmosphere at 25 degreesC.
Single-component layer-by-layer weak polyelectrolyte films and capsules: Loading and release of functional molecules Kozlovskaya, V. A.; Kharlampieva, E. P.; Erel Göktepe, İrem; Sukhishvili, S. A. (2009-06-01) Poly(carboxylic acid) hydrogel films and hollow capsules undergo reversible size changes in response to variations in pH and/or ionic strength. The films and capsules were obtained from hydrogenbonded poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone/poly(carboxylic acid) layer-by-layer films by chemical crosslinking of the polyacid, followed by pH-induced removal of poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone. Surface-attached hydrogel films present attractive matrices for reversible pH-stimulated loading and/or controlled release of large amounts of ...
