(2017) Acay, Hilal; Dündar, Abdurrahman; Keskin, Cumali; Kaçar, Semra
Abstract: Mushroom is an important source of natural compounds with acknowledged bioactivity. Pleurotus eryngii, in particular, is widely recognized for its organoleptic quality and favorable healthy effects, being commercially produced in great extent. The present study is just for evaluating the antioxidant capacity (scavenging DPPH radicals, reducing power, Total antioxidant activity by β-carotene-linoleic acid metod, Chelating effect on ferrous ions, superoxide anion radical scavenging activity ), antimicrobial effects (by using the disc diffusion method) and insufficiently studied cytotoxic activity (using PC-3 cell lines) of Pleurotus eryngii by using various solvent systems. For this reason; obtained extracts of the mushroom applying hexane, ethylacetate and methanol respectively were tested with in its biologic activities. As a result, The highest total antioxidant activity by β -carotene-linoleic acid metod was identified in methanol extract (63.62 mg /ml). The highest DPPH scavenging activity was obtained from ethyl acetate extract with 88.81 mg/ml. EDTA is used as standard in methal chelating activity. The highest metal chelating activity of Pleurotus eryngii identified in hexane (88,1 mg /ml) and ethylacetate (88.84 mg /ml) extracts. Additionally, in most of studied tests antioxidant activity of the mushroom increased with increasing concentration. On the other hand, the highest antimicrobial activity was obtained against Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 (11 mm) in ethyl acetate extract. However, the best antimicrobial activities were observed in hexane and methanol extracts for other tested microorganism. It was not determined any antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. It has been found that the potential of cytotoxic activity is depended on concentration and solvent type of extracts. Ethyl acetate extract showed significant inhibitory value at the concentrations of 530 µg/ml (86.20 %) against PC-3 cell lines. Using methanol extract, the maximun inhibition was observed at concentration of 680 µg/ml with value of 51.86 %. Overall, the mushroom used as a daily nutrient could be a source for new drug developments and a kind of treatment in cancer therapies, and also, organic extracts of Pleurotus eryngii may contain substances that stimulate bioactivity

(Water Practice and Technology, 2022) Dündar, Abdurrahman; M’barek, Islem; Saleh, Mohammed; Isik, Zelal; Ozdemire, Sadin; Dündar, Abdurrahman; Dizge, Nadir
In this study, the adsorption abilities of Russula brevipes (RB), Agaricus augustus (AA), and Fomes fomentarius (FF) were evaluated in Basic Red 18 (BR18) and Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) biosorption from textile effluent. The adsorbents were characterized via Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (SEM-EDS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT/IR). Fomes fomentarius presented a low sorption capacity contrary to the two other fungi (RB and AA). RB and AA were selected as potential adsorbents for BR18 and RBBR, respectively. The maximum BR18 removal efficiencies for 10, 25, and 50 mg/L were obtained after 60 min to be 90, 88, and 86%, respectively. The RBBR adsorption efficiencies were 96.4, 96, and 90% for dye concentrations of 10, 25, and 50 mg/L. The adsorption of BR18 onto the RB biomass followed the Freundlich isotherm, while Langmuir is the best isotherm for RBBR sorption’s elucidation onto AA fungus biomass. The removal of BR18 by BR biomass was found to follow the pseudo-second order. In contrast, the adsorption of RBBR onto the AA biomass followed Lagergren’s pseudo-first order. For both adsorbents, the adsorption was exothermic, feasible, and spontaneous in nature. Finally, the dyes’ biosorption process was perfectly achieved onto fungi biomass via physisorption

Synthesis of two phosphinite ligands based on β-amino alcohols, in high yields has been demonstrated. When we treated [Ru(arene)(μ-Cl)Cl]2 {arene:p-cymene,benzene} with chelating phosphinite ligands, we obtained neutral Ru(II)-complexes possessing the general formula [Ru(arene)phosphiniteCl2]. The structure of the ligands and complexes was confirmed using analytical and spectroscopic techniques. The quantum chemical calculations were carried out for the ruthenium complexes at the DFT/CAM-B3LYP level of theory in gas phase. The phosphinite complexes were subjected to cyclic voltammetry studies in order to determine the energies of HOMO and LUMO levels and to estimate their electrochemical and some electronic properties. Organic complex-based memory substrates were immobilized using TiO2-modified ITO electrodes, and the memory functions of phosphinite-based organic complexes were verified by chronoamperometry (CA) and open-circuit potential amperometry (OCPA). In the present study, the antioxidant potentials of ruthenium-based p-cymene and benzene complexes through DPPH radical scavenging, metal chelating, and reducing power activities were also determined. In addition, DNA binding abilities and antimicrobial activities of these complexes against pathogenic bacteria were studied. Finally, the ruthenium complex, (2S)-1-{[(2S)-2-[(diphenylphosphanyl)oxy]propyl][(1R)-1-phenylethyl]amino}propan-2-yldiphenyl phosphinitobis[dichloro(η6-benzene)ruthenium(II)] also catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone with high conversion (up to 99%) and good enantioselectivity (ee up to 89 %), in the existence of formic acid and triethylamine in dichloromethane medium under air atmosphere.

(Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi, 2022) Dündar, Abdurrahman; Dündar, Abdurrahman
2019 yılının son döneminde Wuhan şehrinde ortaya çıkan Covid-19 hastalığı çok hızlı bir şekilde dünyaya yayılış göstermiş ve kısa bir süre sonra ülkemizde görülmeye başladı. Covid-19 ile ilgili önemli çalışmalar yapılmakta bu virüs ve benzeri virüs kökenli hastalıkların tespiti ve erken teşhisi ile tedavi amaçlı Crp, Lym, Ferritin, Kan Gazı ve D-dimer gibi bazı biyokimyasal değerlerin düzeylerinin hastalık şiddeti ve diğer biyokimyasal değerler ile ilişkisini değerlendirilmesi ve bu biyokimyasal değerlerin yaş, cinsiyet üzerindeki etkilerini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Yaptığımız çalışmada, hasta dosyalarının retrospektif incelenmesine dayalı kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı bir çalışmadır. 01 Haziran 2020 ile 30 Mayıs 2021 tarihleri arasında Kızıltepe devlet hastanesine başvuran ve hastalık tanısı konulan 12 aylık süreçte hastaların Crp, Lym, Ferritin, Kan Gazı ve D-dimer gibi bazı biyokimyasal değerleri ve aynı zamanda bu değerlerin diğer biyokimyasal değerler arasındaki ilişki ile bu değerlerin yaş ve cinsiyete olan etkileri incelendi ve analizleri yapıldı. Araştırma da elde edilen veriler SPSS for Windows 25.0 programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Verileri değerlendirilirken tanımlayıcı istatistiksel metotları (sayı, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma) kullanılmıştır. Çalışmamız da inceleyeceğimiz tüm parametreleri eksiksiz olan 01 Haziran 2020 ile 30 Mayıs 2021 tarihleri arasında Kızıltepe devlet hastanesine başvuran ve COVID-19 tanısı koyulan 1812 hasta dahil edildi. Bu hastalardan %51,9'u (n: 941) kadın % 48,1 (n: 871) erkektir. Ve yaş ortalaması 56,58±19,89 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Yaptığımız çalışmaya göre Crp ve Ferritin değerleri erkeklerde daha yüksek, Lenfosit düzeyleri ise kadınlar daha yüksek olduğu saptandı. Ayrıca Crp, Ferritin ve D.Dimer değerleri ile yaş arasında pozitif yönde, Lenfosit ile yaş arasında ise negatif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki saptandı. Biyokimyasal değerlerin hastalığın klinik seyrinde önemli bir biyolojik belirteçler olduğu literatürde ki araştırmalar ile uyumludur. Covid-19 ile ilgili çok sayıda araştırma yapılmış ve literatüre kazandırılmıştır ve yeni çalışmalarda yapılmaktadır. Bizde biyokimyasal değerlerin Covid-19'un klinik seyrinde biyolojik belirteç olarak kullanılması ayrıca bu değerlerin yaş ve cinsiyet üzerindeki ilişkisinin tespitinin hastalığın seyrinde önemli olduğundan bu konu ile ilgili literatüre katkı sağlamayı amaçladık. Hastalığı daha ağır geçiren erkeklerde Crp ve Ferritin değerleri analiz sonuçlarına göre anlamlı yüksek olduğu görüldü. Lenfosit değerinin ise erkeklerde daha düşük olduğu saptandı. Yaşa bağlı olarak ise ileri yaşlarda Crp, Ferritin ve D.Dimer değerlerinin yüksek, Lenfosit değerinin düşük olması mortalite ile bağlantılı olduğunu gösterdi.

(2018) Acay, Hilal; Kaçar, Semra; Keskin, Cumali; Dündar, Abdurrahman
Fatty acids (FAs) of Pleurotus ostreatus and Russula delica were identified in TL (Total Lipid), TG (Triacylglycerol ) and PL (phospholipid) fractions. The major FAs of TL, TG, PL in both species were Cl6:0 (palmitic açid, PA), Cl8:1 n-9 (oleic acid, OLA) and Cl8:2 n-6 (linoleic acid, LA). In both species, total PUFA amounts were found to be higher than total MUFA and total SFA in TL, TG and PL fractions. The efficient production of the fatty acids especially linolenic and oleic acids which are majorly needed in building blocks of dietary human has confirmed these species as good source of nutrition. On the other hand, insufficiently studied cytotoxic activity (using pC-3 cell lines) of these mushrooms were investigated by using various solvent systems Ethyl acetate extract of Russula delica and, Pleurltus ostreatus showed significant inhibitory value at the concentrations of 520-530 µg/ml (99,45%- 92,82%) against PC-3 cell lines with IC50; 274,53-297,77 µg /mL respectively. Methanol extracts did not show any cytotoxic activity. lt has been found that the potential of cytotoxic activity is depended on concentration and solvent type of extracts. As a result, the present study is a guide for biochemiçal and nutritional values of the both species and can be useful for further investigation on plıarnıacological applications.

(2024) Dündar, Abdurrahman; Dündar, Abdurrahman
Fonksiyonel gıdalardan biri olan mantarların protein, yağ ve karbonhidrat gibi temel besinsel ihtiyaçlarımızı karşılarken öte yandan sağlığımız ve özelde immün sistemimiz üzerinde olumlu etkilerinin olduğu hipotezi araştırmaya değer bir konudur. Mantarların immünomodülatör etkileri çoğunlukla in- vitro ve in- vivo (deney hayvanlarında ve hasta bireylerde) olarak çalışılmış olmasına rağmen, özellikle ülkemizde ve dünyada gönüllü sağlıklı bireyler üzerinde yapılan çalışmalar birkaç adetle sınırlı olup, kapsamları da çok dardır. Bu nedenle yapılan çalışmada P. ostraetus'un su ekstraktları sağlıklı gönüllüler tarafından tüketildi. Mantar ekstraktının tüketimi öncesi ve sırasında gönüllülerden alınan kan örneklerinin biyokimyasal ve hematolojik analizleri ve sitokinler aracılığıyla immünomodülatör etkileri analiz edildi. Çalışmadan elde edilen bulgular incelendğinde IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 ve IL-13 değerleri en düşük standart değerin altında olduğundan tespit edilemediği görülmektedir.TNF-α, IFN-γ ve IL-1β 15. ve 29. gün değerleri 1. gün (kontrol) değerlerine göre azaldı (P< 0.05).Ancak 15. ve 29. gün arasında anlamlı bir fark gözlenmedi. Sonuç olarak biyokimyasal ve hematolojik değerlerde herhangi bir anormallik gözlenmedi ve böbrek ve karaciğer fonksiyon testi sonuçlarının sıklık aralığı P. osreatus'un güvenilir bir besin kaynağı olduğunu doğruladı. Sitokin değerleri dikkate alındığında bu sonuçlar, P. ostreatus su ekstraktının antiinflamatuar etkiye sahip olduğunu ve bu etki için 15 günlük tüketimin yeterli olacağını göstermektedir.

In this study, 4-(2-(4-methylthiazol-5-yl) ethoxy) phthalonitrile (3) and zinc phthalocyanine complex (4) were synthesized and characterized. UV–vis and fluorescence spectra, aggregation, and fluorescence parameters of the zinc phthalocyanine compound were investigated. As biological properties, DPPH radical capture, antidiabetic, DNA cutting, antimicrobial, photodynamic antimicrobial, anti-biofilm activities, and microbial cell viability parameters of the compounds were determined. The highest antioxidant activity was found as 62.80% at 100 mg/L concentration with compound 4, and compound 4 also showed the best antidiabetic activity as 65.17% at 400 mg/L concentration. In DNA cutting activity, it was determined that 3 and 4 cut DNA at all concentrations. For compounds 3–4, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were found to be 32 and 16 mg/L for Enterococcus hirae and Enterococcus feacalis, respectively. The strongest MIC value of photodynamic antimicrobial activity was achieved as 4 mg/L for E. feacalis with 4. It was observed that both compounds inhibited the microbial viability activity of Escherichia coli by 100% at concentrations of 100 mg/L. Compound 4 inhibited biofilms of Pseudomonas aureginosa and Staphylococcus aureus as 92.48% and 98.56% at 50 mg/L concentration, respectively.
Solid Phase Extraction Based on the Use of Agaricus arvensis as a Fungal Biomass for the Peconcentrations of Pb and Al Prior to Their Determination in Vegetables by ICP-OES
(ATOMIC SPECTROSCOPY, 2013) Dündar, Abdurrahman; Dündar, Abdurrahman; Özdemir, Sadin; Okumuş, Veysi
A solid phase extraction (SPE) method based on the use of a fungal biomass as sorbent was developed for the preconcentrations of Pb and Al. Agaricus arvensis was immobilized on Amberlite XAD-4 and loaded onto a column. Important parameters such as pH and flow rate of the solution, amount of biosorbent and resin, volume of sample solution, which affect the efficiency of the preconcentration procedure for Pb and Al, were optimized. The effect of possible interfering ions, i.e., Cd2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, Co2+, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and Fe2+, was investigated. Experiments on the repeatability of the solid phase column showed that the same column could be used at least 30 cycles without loss of the biosorption efficiency for the recovery of Pb and Al. The limit of detection (LOD) of Pb and Al was found to be 0.10 ng m(L-1) and 0.03 ng mL(-1), respectively. The sensitivity of ICP-OES improved 39.8-fold for Pb and 39.5-fold for Al. Linearity was obtained in the concentration range of 1.25-50.0 ng mL(-1) for Pb and 0.5-50.0 ng mL(-1) for Al. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of the method under optimum conditions was lower than 8.4% (n=5) for Pb and Al, which was validated through the analysis of certified reference tea and poplar leaves samples. The biosorption capacity of immobilized Agaricus arvensis for Pb and Al was found to be 31.2 mg g(-1) and 45.7 mg g(-1), respectively. The developed method was applied to determine the concentrations of Pb and Al in various edible vegetable samples (cucumber, okra, tomato, beans, aubergine, watermelon, zucchini, pepper, melon, lettuce, roka, purslane, scallion, cress, parsley, cabbage, sugar cane, and basil) grown along the cultivated banks of the Tigris River in Diyarbakir, Turkey.

(Turkish Journal of Chemistry, 2018) Dündar, Abdurrahman; Cabir, Beyza; Gümüş, Selçuk; Özdemir, Sadin; Dündar, Abdurrahman
As a starting material, 7-tert-butyldibenzo [b,e] [1,4] dioxine-2,3-dicarbonitrile was prepared by the reac- tion of 4-tert-butylcatechol with 4,5-dichlorophthalonitrile. Metallophthalocyanine complexes ( 4 { 7 ) were obtained by cyclotetramerization of 7-tert-butyldibenzo [b,e] [1,4] dioxine-2,3-dicarbonitrile. All compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and other spectroscopic methods (IR, UV/Vis, and 1 H NMR). Phthalocyanine compounds remained nonaggregated in tetrahydrofuran at the studied concentration ranges. Metallophthalocyanines ( 4 { 7 ) were tested for their antioxidant activities. The antioxidant activity processes included evaluation of radical-scavenging activity, chelat- ing activity, and reducing power. These compounds were compared to standard antioxidant ascorbic acid. The electronic data of the new compounds were obtained by computational calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) level of theory.

(Elsevier Science Sa, 2024) Dündar, Abdurrahman; Ozdemir, Sadin; Dundar, Abdurrahman; Agirtas, Mehmet Salih
In this study, bis(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyloxy) phthalocyaninato silicon (IV) was obtained from the reaction of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl alcohol with SiPcCl 2 . This phthalocyanine was characterized using 1 H NMR, FTIR, UV - vis and mass spectra. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, antidiabetic, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) cutting, biofilm inhibition, anti -microbial and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) activities of newly synthesized bis(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyloxy) phthalocyaninato silicon (IV) molecule were studied. The best activities were 41.58 % at 100 mg/L for antioxidant and 41.66 % for antidiabetic at 400 mg/L concentration. The molecule degraded the biofilm matrix formed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus as 78.61 % and 89.26 %, at 50 mg/L concentration, respectively. It was observed that E. coli , which was used as a model microorganism, was inhibited at a level close to 100 % even at the lowest concentration of 50 mg/L. While double strand break was observed at 50 mg/L DNA cutting activity, it was determined that DNA was reduced to nucleotides at 100 and 200 mg/L. The Pc also displayed effective antimicrobial and aPDT abilities against pathogens. With the application of aPDT, the effectiveness of antimicrobial activity increased 2 to 4 times. These increase rates are very important. The main conclusion of the study was that the newly synthesized compound exhibited various effective biological activities such as effective antioxidant, antidiabetic, DNA cleavage, antimicrobial, aPDT, biofilm inhibition and microbial cell viability inhibition.
