Diclofenac sodium (DS), a potent inhibitor of cyclooxygenase, reduces the release of arachidonic acid and formation of prostaglandins. Being a nonsteroid drug that shows antiinflammatory action, the possible side effects of fetal DS administration gain importance in public and medical applications. Herein, the effects of DS administration (1 mg/kg) during gestational days 5-20 were investigated on the performance of Wistar rat pups in a variety of behavioral tasks. Four-week-old pups were subjected to sensory motor tests, a plus maze, an open field, the Morris water maze, and a radial arm maze. Fetal DS disrupted some sensory motor performances, such as visual placing and climbing in both females and males. In the open field, DS females had a higher level of anxiety and male DS pups habituated to the environment slowly compared to controls. The DS pups showed slower rates of learning, whereas no substantial between-group differences were found in the performance of spatial memory compared to both controls. Furthermore, working memory was negatively affected by fetal DS. In conclusion, it was indicated that DS administration during pregnancy had slight behavioral impacts with a delay in learning and a defect in the short-term memory in juvenile rats.

Preclinical toxicity test results of a new antiviral–immune-modulator compound consisting of flavonoid molecules (COVID-19 clinical trial preliminary data) Budak, Gürer; ÖZKAN, SEÇİL; BUDAK, Mehmet; Şeker, Tamay; MERYEMOĞLU, BAHAR; Miran, Şükran Selin; Çoban, Canan Çakır; Tarkun, Örkun (2022-01-01) Aim: Isolated specific glycone–aglycone conjugated flavonoids which are investigated for their effect of bioavailability and molecular concentrations. The specific formula is then tested via in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity tests. Methods: Considering the higher affinity for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), quercetin, quercetin 3-sambubioside-3’-glucoside, luteolin, apigenin-7-4’alloside, kaempferol-7-O-glucoside, epicatechin-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate, and hesperetin were se...
The regulatory effect of CcaR activator on the cephamycin C gene cluster of streptomyces clavuligerus Kurt, Aslıhan; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Biology (2011) Streptomyces clavuligerus produces industrially important secondary metabolites such as cephamycin C (a β-lactam antibiotic) and clavulanic acid (a potent β-lactamase inhibitor). Cephamycin C is active against penicillin-resistant bacteria due to presence of methoxyl group in C-7 position of cephalosporin nucleus. Clavulanic acid is prescribed in combination with β-lactams for treatment of various bacterial infections. Cephamycin C and clavulanic acid gene clusters form β-lactam supercluster in S. clavulige...
Investigation of the effect of sodium butyrate on the regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 in colon cancer cell lines Caco-2 and HT-29 Ülgen, Doğukan Hazar; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2015) Sodium butyrate (NaBt) is a four-carbon short-chain fatty acid histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) that is available in the colon through the commensal microbiota-mediated fermentation of dietary fibers. It is the main source of energy for colonocytes, and is regarded to have tumor suppressive effects, most prominently in colorectal cancer (CRC). Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is a gene important in the inflammatory response due to its ability to convert arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. Overexpression and ov...
Genotoxicity studies on benzimidazole retinoids Balaban, F; Ates-Alagoz, Z; Buyukbingol, E; İşcan, Mesude (2005-11-01) 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 benzimi...
Modulation of mRNA expression and activities of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes, CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP2E1, GPx and GSTP1 by the Salicornia freitagii extract in HT-29 human colon cancer cells ALTAY, AHMET; İrtem Kartal, Deniz; SADİ, GÖKHAN; Güray, Nülüfer Tülün; YAPRAK, AHMET EMRE (2017-01-01) Phase I-II detoxification and antioxidant enzymes are responsible for the detoxification and elimination of activated carcinogens, acting as important biomarkers for chemoprevention. Among them, cytochrome P450s plays a prominent role in the metabolic activation of xenobiotics. The herb Salicornia freitagii (SF) (Amaranthaceae) is known for its anticancer, antioxidant, antidiabetic and antiinflammatory activities. In this study, we determined the bioactive phenolics in the SF methanol extract and investigat...
