Newly designed triazolothiadiazines incorporating with structural motifs of nonsteroidal analgesic anti-inflammatory drugs were synthesized and screened for their bioactivity against epithelial cancer cells. Compounds with bioactivities less then similar to 5 mu M (IC50) were further analyzed and showed to induce apoptotic cell death and SubG(1) cell cycle arrest in liver cancer cells. Among this group, two compounds (1g and 1h) were then studied to identify the mechanism of action. These molecules triggered oxidative stress induced apoptosis through ASK-1 protein activation and Akt protein inhibition as demonstrated by downstream targets such as GSK3 beta, beta-catenin and cyclin D1. QSAR and molecular docking models provide insight into the mechanism of inhibition and indicate the optimal direction of future synthetic efforts. Furthermore, molecular docking results were confirmed with in vitro COX bioactivity studies. This study demonstrates that the novel triazolothiadiazine derivatives are promising drug candidates for epithelial cancers, especially liver cancer. (c) 2016 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Synthesis of novel 6-substituted amino-9-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)purine analogs and their bioactivities on human epithelial cancer cells TUNÇBİLEK, MERAL; Kucukdumlu, Asligul; Guven, Ebru Bilget; Altiparmak, Duygu; Atalay, Rengül (2018-02-01) New nucleoside derivatives with nitrogen substitution at the C-6 position were prepared and screened initially for their in vitro anticancer bioactivity against human epithelial cancer cells (liver Huh7, colon HCT116, breast MCF7) by the NCI-sulforhodamine B assay. N-6-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl) piperazine analog (27) exhibited promising cytotoxic activity. The compound 27 was more cytotoxic (IC50 = 1-4 mu M) than 5-FU, fludarabine on Huh7, HCT116 and MCF7 cell lines. The most potent nucleosides (11, 13, 16,...
Targeted delivery of CPG-oligodeoxynucleotide to breast cancer cells by poly-amidoamine dendrimer-modified magnetic nanoparticles Taghavi Pourianazar, Negar; Gündüz, Ufuk; Gündüz, Güngör; Department of Biotechnology (2016) One major application of nanotechnology in cancer treatment involves designing nanoparticles to deliver drugs, oligonucleotides, and genes to cancer cells. Nanoparticles should be engineered so that they could target and destroy tumor cells with minimal damage to healthy tissues. This research aims to develop an appropriate and efficient nanocarrier, having the ability of interacting with and delivering CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODNs) to tumor cells. CpG-ODNs activate Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), which...
Collagen scaffolds with in situ-grown calcium phosphate for osteogenic differentiation of Wharton's jelly and menstrual blood stem cells Karadas, Ozge; Yucel, Deniz; Kenar, Halime; Kose, Gamze Torun; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2014-07-01) The aim of this research was to investigate the osteogenic differentiation potential of non-invasively obtained human stem cells on collagen nanocomposite scaffolds with in situ-grown calcium phosphate crystals. The foams had 70% porosity and pore sizes varying in the range 50-200 mu m. The elastic modulus and compressive strength of the calcium phosphate containing collagen scaffolds were determined to be 234.5 kPa and 127.1 kPa, respectively, prior to in vitro studies. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) obtain...
Poly(ester-urethane) scaffolds: effect of structure on properties and osteogenic activity of stem cells Kızıltay, Aysel; San Roman, Julio; Sousa, Rui A.; Reis, Rui L.; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2015-08-01) The present study aimed to investigate the effect of structure (design and porosity) on the matrix stiffness and osteogenic activity of stem cells cultured on poly(ester-urethane) (PEU) scaffolds. Different three-dimensional (3D) forms of scaffold were prepared from lysine-based PEU using traditional salt-leaching and advanced bioplotting techniques. The resulting scaffolds were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), me...
Design, Synthesis and In Vitro Cytotoxic Activity of New 6,9-Disubstituted Purine Analogues Kucukdumlu, Asligul; TUNÇBİLEK, MERAL; GÜVEN, EBRU BİLGET; Atalay, Rengül (2020-01-01) A series of new 6,9-disubstituted purine analogs with 4-substituted piperazine at C-6 and 4-substituted benzyl at N-9 were designed and synthesized in four steps. All synthesized compounds (7-26) were screened initially for their in vitro anticancer activity on Huh7 liver, HCT116 colon and MCF7 breast carcinoma cell lines. Cytotoxic bioactivity studies revealed that all compounds screened, with compound 19 being the exception, were found to have promising cytotoxic activities at IC50 range of 0.05-21.8 mu M...
