The TAT peptide is a drug delivery tools which has been efficiently proven to deliver drugs, peptides and nucleic acids. A specific sequence of HIV1 protein transduction domain TAT was evaluated for its ability to carry Doxorubicin (Dox) into drug resistant MCF-7 tumor cells. TAT was conjugated to Dox via the formation of a disulfide bond. In this study, we developed an optimal formulation for the conjugation of Dox by this delivery system for tumor treatment. The in vitro study showed that DoxTAT peptide conjugate was only more potent than free drug at higher concentration on Dox resistance cells. The concentration of drug in resistant cancer cells was increased indicating a partial reversal of drug resistance.

Synthesis of alkynyl-substituted pyrrole and 1,4-thiazepine derivatives
Yılmaz, Elif Serel; Zora, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2018)
Heterocyclic compounds have a great importance in medicinal chemistry because of their presence in a number of pharmaceuticals. Among them, pyrroles and 1,4-thiazepines play a vital role in pharmaceutical chemistry because of their presence in a number of bioactive molecules and natural products. For this reason, the development of new synthetic methods for the synthesis of these compounds has attracted much attention. Recently, the cyclization of functionally-substituted alkynes has emerged as a valuable t...
Interaction of the cholesterol reducing agent simvastatin with zwitterionic DPPC and charged DPPG phospholipid membranes
Sariisik, Ediz; KOÇAK, MUSTAFA; Baloglu, Fatma Kucuk; Severcan, Feride (Elsevier BV, 2019-04-01)
Simvastatin is a lipid-lowering drug in the pharmaceutical group statins. Interaction of a drug with lipids may define its role in the system and be critical for its pharmacological activity. We examined the interactions of simvastatin with zwitterionic dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and anionic dipalmitoyl phosphatidylglycerol (DPPG) multilamellar vesicles (MLVs) as a function of temperature at different simvastatin concentrations using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and differentia...
Analysis of Protein and mRNA Expressions of CYP1A1 and CYP2E1 Enzymes In Liver, Colon And Prostate Cancer Cell Lines to Study Drug and Carcinogen Metabolism
Evin, Emre; Akkulak, Merve; Adalı, Orhan (null; 2017-10-29)
Most of the marketed drugs are metabolized by Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) known as phase I enzymes. A phase I enzyme, CYP1A1 catalyzes the conversion of many pro-carcinogens and hydroxylation of many endogenous substrates. CYP2E1 is also important in the metabolism of drugs, pre-toxins and pro-carcinogens. The present study was aimed to describe the best cell line model for studying phase I xenobiotic metabolizing CYP1A1 and CYP2E1 enzymes and possible effects of xenobiotics on these enzymes. In this study HT29...
Synthesis, anticancer activity, toxicity evaluation and molecular docking studies of novel phenylaminopyrimidine-(thio)urea hybrids as potential kinase inhibitors.
Ture, Asli; Kahraman, Deniz Cansen; Atalay, Rengül; Helvacioglu, Sinem; Charehsaz, Mohammad; KÜÇÜKGÜZEL, İLKAY (2019-02-01)
Thirty-two novel urea/thiourea compounds as potential kinase inhibitor were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic activity on breast (MCF7), colon (HCT116) and liver (Huh7) cancer cell lines. Compounds 10, 19 and 30 possessing anticancer activity with IC50 values of 0.9, 0.8 and 1.6 mu M respectively on Huh7 cells were selected for further studies. These hit compounds were tested against liver carcinoma panel. Real time cell electronic sensing assay was used to evaluate the effects of the ...
Synthesis of Doxorubicin loaded magnetic chitosan nanoparticles for pH responsive targeted drug delivery
ÜNSOY, GÖZDE; Khodadust, Rouhollah; Yalcin, Serap; Mutlu, Pelin; Gündüz, Ufuk (2014-10-01)
Targeted drug delivery is a promising alternative to overcome the limitations of classical chemotherapy. In an ideal targeted drug delivery system carrier nanoparticles would be directed to the tumor tissue and selectively release therapeutic molecules. As a novel approach, chitosan coated magnetic nanoparticles (CS MNPs) maintain a pH dependent drug delivery which provides targeting of drugs to the tumor site under a magnetic field. Among various materials, chitosan has a great importance as a pH sensitive...
