DITERPENEOIDS AND ALZHEIMER
(2023) Demirel, Mehmet Ferit; Ertaş, Abdulselam
Salvia L. türlerinin halk arasında kullanımı ve bilim dünyasındaki önemi her geçen gün artmaktadır. Salvia türlerinin bu kullanımının ve öneminin çoğunlukla içerdikleri terpenoid bileşiklerden kaynaklandığı düşünülmektedir. Doğal ürünlerde en bol bulunan bileşikler olan terpenoidler, bitkilerde farklı yapılara sahip bir dizi önemli ikincil metabolittir. Terpenoidler bitki büyümesi ve gelişmesinde, çevreye tepkisinde ve fizyolojik süreçlerde anahtar rol oynar. Hammadde olarak terpenoidler ilaç, gıda ve kozmetik endüstrilerinde de yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Terpenoidler, farklı etkileri ve farklı etki mekanizmaları olan karmaşık bir yapıya sahiptir. Bu derlemede terpenoidlerin aktiviteleri ve mekanizmaları incelenerek terpenoid bileşikleri içerisinde önemli bir yere sahip olan diterpeneoidler üzerinde durulmuştur. Diterpen türlerinde oksijen ile daha kolay etkileşme görülmektedir. Bu yapısal farklılıkları nedeniyle doğal ürünler içerisinde diterpenler, en geniş biyolojik etkiye sahip bileşiklerdir. Alzheimer hastalığı, beyinde amiloid birikiminden kaynaklı olmakla beraber kolinerjik nörotransmisyon eksikliği ile, yaşlı nufüs üzerinde görülen yaygın bir demans şeklidir. Bu çalışmada, özellikle Salvia türlerinden ekstrakte edilen diterpeneoidlerin alzehiemer hastalığı üzerindeki etkileri ile ilgili çalışmalar derlenmiştir. Diterpeneoidlerin Alzheimer hastalığı üzerindeki çalışmaları in vitro ve in vivo şeklinde ayrı ayrı veri tabanları taranarak derlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak Salvia türlerinden ekstraksiyon ile elde edilen terpenoid türevi olan diterpenoidlerin, hala kesin bir tedavi seçeneği sunulamayan Alzheimer hastalığı üzerindeki etkinliği hakkındaki çalışmaların dikkate değer olduğu görülmektedir.

An alternative biotechnological solid phase bio-extraction (SPE) method was developed. Bacillus subtilis loaded multiwalled carbon nanotube was designed and used as biosorbent for the preconcentrations of Pb(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II). The experimental parameters such as sample flow rate, pH of sample solution, amounts of Bacillus subtilis and multiwalled carbon nanotube, volume of sample solution and reusability of column which affects the analytical characteristics of the SPE method were investigated in details. Surface structures were investigated by using FTIR, SEM. The best pH was determined as 5.0 and the percentages recoveries of Zn(II), Ni(II), and Pb(II) were determined as 99.1%, 98.7%, and 96.2%, respectively, at a flow rate of 3 mL/min. In this study, in which the profitable sample volume was determined as 400 mL and the amount of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) as 50 mg. It was also observed that the column had a significant potential to preconcentrate Zn(II), Ni(II), and Pb(II) even after 25 reuses. The biosorption capacities for Pb(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) were calculated as 34.2 mg/g, 36.8 mg/g and 45.5 mg/g respectively. The LOD values were calculated as 0.024 ng/mL for Pb(II), 0.029 ng/mL for Ni(II), and 0.019 ng/mL for Zn(II). The linear range was detected as 0.25–25 ng/mL. The concentrations of Pb(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) in a variety of real food samples were determined by using developed method after application of certified reference sample.

(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2015) Okumus, Veysi; Ozdemir, Sadin; Kilinc, Ersin; Dundar, Abdurrahman; Yuksel, Uyan; Baysal, Zubeyde
Solid-phase extraction (SPE) method was developed for the preconcentration of Cu2+ and Ni2+ before their determination by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Bacillus subtilis-immobilized Amberlite XAD-16 was used as biosorbent. Effects of critical parameters such as pH, flow rate of samples, amount of Amberlite XAD-16 and biosorbent, sample volume, eluent type, and volume and concentration of eluent on column preconcentration of Cu2+ and Ni2+ were optimized. Applicability of the method was validated through the analysis of the certified reference tea sample (NCS ZC73014). Sensitivity of ICP-OES was improved by 36.4-fold for Cu2+ and 38.0-fold for Ni2+ by SPE-ICP-OES method. Limit of quantitation (LOQ) was found to be 0.7 and 1.1ng/ml for Cu2+ and Ni2+, respectively. Concentrations of Cu2+ and Ni2+ were determined by ICP-OES after application of developed method. Relative standard deviations (RSDs) were lower than 4.9% for Cu2+ and 7.9% for Ni2+. The Tigris River that irrigates a large agricultural part of Southeast Turkey is polluted by domestic and industrial wastes. Concentrations of Cu2+ and Ni2+ were determined in water, soil, and some edible vegetables as a biomonitor for heavy metal pollution.

(Elsevier, 2020) Cengiz, Mustafa; Şahintürk, Varol; Cetik Yildiz, Songul; Kurcanay Şahin, İlknur; Bilici, Namık; Onur Yaman, Suzan; Altuner, Yılmaz; Appak-Baskoy, Sıla; Ayhanci, Adnan
Background Cyclophosphamide (CP) is an alkylating chemotherapeutic drug used in the treatment of many types of cancer. However, as with other chemotherapeutic drugs, the use of CP is limited by the damage to healthy tissues such as testes, bladder and liver as well as cancerous tissue. Boron (B) is a trace element with many biological properties such as antioxidant, anti-apoptotic and anti-lipid per oxidation. Methods This current study aims to determine protective effects of B on CP induced testicular toxicity. The rats were divided into 4 groups (control, CP, B and B plus CP groups). The testes of experimental animals were taken for histological, apoptotic markers and biochemical analysis. Results The damage to some seminifer tubules, loss of typical appearance, thinning of seminifer epithelium and relative enlargement of the tubule lumen were watched in testis of the group that administrated CP. Moreover, Bcl-2, TAC and GSH levels decreased while TOC, OSI, MDA, Bax and Caspase-3 levels increased. On the other hand, pretreatment limited to B in the B plus CP group, testicular tissue improved. In addition, Bcl-2, GSH, TAC levels increased, Bax, MDA, TOC, OSI and caspase-3 levels decreased. Conclusion B significantly reduced testicular lipid per-oxidation and strengthened antioxidant defenses. Our results showed that pre-treatment B can protect rat testis against CP-induced testicular damage owing to its anti-lipid per oxidation, anti-oxidant and anti-apoptotic properties.

Role of 2.4 Ghz Radiofrequency Radiation Emitted From Wi-Fi on Some Mirna and Faty Acids Composition in Brain
(Taylor & Francis inc, 2022) Dasdag, Suleyman; Akdag, Mehmet Zulkuf; Bashan, Mehmet; Kizmaz, Veysi; Erdal, Nurten; Erdal, Mehmet Emin; Yegin, Korkut
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi exposure, which is continuously used in the internet connection by mobile phones, computers and other wireless equipment, on microRNA and membrane and depot fatty acid composition of brain cells. Sixteen Wistar Albino rats were divided equally into two groups such as sham and exposure. The rats in the experimental group (n = 8) were exposed to 2.4 GHz RFR emitted from a Wi-Fi generator for 24 h/day for one year. The animals in the control group (n = 8) were kept under the same conditions as the experimental group, but the Wi-Fi generator was turned off. At the end of the study, rats were sacrificed and brains were removed to analyze miRNA expression and membrane and depot fatty acids of brain cells. We analyzed the situation of ten different miRNA expressions and nineteen fatty acid patterns in this study. We observed that long-term and excessive exposure of 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi radiation increased rno-miR-181a-5p, phosphatidylserine (PS) and triacylglycerol (TAG) in the brain. In conclusion, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi exposure has the potential to alter rno-miR-181a-5p expression and the fatty acid percentage of some membrane lipids such as phospholipid (PL), phosphatidylserine (PS) and triacylglycerol (TAG), which are depot fats in the brain. However, the uncontrolled use of RFRs, whose use and diversity have reached incredible levels with each passing day and which are increasing in the future, may be paving the way for many diseases that we cannot connect with today.

(2011) Demir Cemil; Aslantas, Ozkan; Duran, Nızamı; Ocak, S; Özer, Burcın
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of genes encoding staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs), exfoliative toxins (ETAs, ETBs), and toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from various clinical samples from the Mustafa Kemal University Hospital. In addition, PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the coa gene was employed to genotype the isolates. Materials and methods: A total of 120 S. aureus strains isolated from various clinical samples (blood, wounds, urine, conjuctival swabs, and tracheal aspirate) over a 1 year period, 2007-2008, were used in this study. Results: Almost 65.8% of the isolates possessed at least one toxin gene. The genes most frequently found were seg-sei (40.8%), followed by sea (30%) and eta (19.2%). Overall, 35 toxin genotypes were observed, among which the genotypes seg-sei, sea-seg-sei, and sea-see predominated at the rate of 8.3%, 5.8%, and 5%, respectively. Four coagulase genotype patterns were observed, with molecular sizes ranging from 570 to 970 bp. Coo-based RFLP analysis revealed 7 different patterns using Conclusion: Our results have revealed that toxin genes were very prevalent among S. aureus isolates, and the toxigenic isolates were independent of the genotypes obtained by PCR-RFLP of the coa gene (P > 0.05).
Synthesis of Drug Loaded Magnetic Nanocomposite and Investigation of Cytotoxic Properties
(2023)
This aims of study to develop drug delivery systems providing an alternative solution to cancer chemotherapy. Firstly, carboxymethyl dextran which has magnetic properties (MD), was synthesized as stated in the literature.1-3 Its structure was elucidated with various analytical devices. Then, loading studies were carried out on the nanocomposite with topotecan (TP) (in the range of 0.2-40 µM in phosphate buffer at pH 5) as an anticancer drug. The cytotoxic properties of MD, TP, drug loaded MD (MD-TP), and free TP were studied on human prostate cancer cell (Du145) and human healthy prostate cell (PNT1A) line. The synthesized MD and MD-TP nanocomposites were characterized by different analytical devices such as FTIR, XPS, UV-VIS, VSM, TEM, SEM and DLS. According to the FTIR results, the presence of peaks belonging to functional groups in the expected places indicates that MD was successfully synthesized and TP was successfully loaded on nanocomposite. According to TEM image, the MD particles showed a spherical structure, and also, the particle size was measured as 9 ± 1.8 nm. The SEM image of MD indicated that the nanoparticles were aggregated. Furthermore, after the loading TP, the brightly colored particles of TP were observed on some parts of the surface of MD. Moreover, DLS measurements of the nanoparticles were taken before and after loading the drug. Due to high agglomeration of the magnetic nanoparticle, it showed polydispersity. In addition, cytotoxicity effects of drug loaded nanocomposites on Du145 and PNT1A cell lines were investigated and the results were found to be statistically significant. The topotecan loaded MD-TP nanocomposite have shown cell viability to be reduced by up to 20 %. It has been shown that synthesized polymer coated superparamagnetic nanocomposites with these properties can be used in drug targeting studies.

(2021) Gözüoğlu, Gülay; Cetik Yildiz, Songul
Abstract Aim: Kefir is a probiotic and prebiotic beverage produced from milk and kefir grains containing a mixture of bacteria and yeast. Drugs like cyclophosphamide (CPx) that are used for cancer chemotherapy are generally limited due to numerous unwanted side-effects such as multiple organ toxicity. For this purpose, the cell-protective effects of kefir, a natural probiotic known for its antitumor and antioxidant properties, on CPx-induced hemotoxicity and myelotoxicity were investigated in this study. Methods: Group 1 (control, 0.5 ml SF). Group 2 were administered a single dose of 150mg/kg CPx. Group 3 and 5 were given 5 and 10mg/kg kefir. Group 4 and 6 were given 5 and 10mg/kg kefir+150mg/kg CPx. While kefir was administered to the rats by gavage method for 12 days, CPx was administered as single-dose on the 12th day. Results: The DPPH results showed that kefir possesses high antioxidant activity. It was observed that the leukocytes, thrombocytes, erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit and bone marrow nucleated cell levels decreased in the group that was administered only CPx, and increased relatively in the groups that were administered CPx+kefir, drawing close to the control. Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that kefir had antioxidant and cytoprotective activity, protecting blood and bone marrow cells against CPx-induced damage.

(Elsevier, 2023) Xu, Jiujun; Yıldıztekin, Mahmut; Han, Dayong; Keskin, Cumali; Baran, Ayşe; Baran, Mehmet Fırat; Eftekhari, Aziz; Aytuğ Ava, Canan; İrtegün Kandemir, Sevgi; Cebe, Deniz Barış; Dağ, Beşir; Beilerli, Aferin; Khalilov, Rovshan
Metallic nanoparticle biosynthesis is thought to offer opportunities for a wide range of biological uses. The green process of turning biological waste into utilizable products gaining attention due to its economical and eco-friendly approach in recent years. This study reported the ability of Solanum tuberosum (ST) peel extract to the green synthesis of non-toxic, stable, small-sized silver nanoparticles without any toxic reducing agent utilizing the phytochemical components present in its structure. UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, flourier scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and energy dispersive analysis X-ray confirmed the biosynthesis and char-acterization of silver nanoparticles. Also, dynamic light scattering and thermogravimetric ana-lyses showed stable synthesized nanoparticles. The antibacterial activity of the biosynthesized silver nanoparticles was evaluated against four different bacterial strains, Escherichia coli (E. coli), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis), and a yeast, Candida albicans (C. albicans) using the minimum inhibitory concen-tration technique. The cytotoxic activities were determined against Human dermal fibroblast (HDF), glioblastoma (U118), colorectal adenocarcinoma (CaCo-2), and human ovarian (Skov-3) cell lines cancer cells using MTT test. The nanoparticle capping agents that could be involved in the reduction of silver ions to Ag NPs and their stabilization was identified using FTIR. Nano -particles were spherical in shape and had a size ranging from 3.91 to 27.07 nm, showed crys-talline nature, good stability (-31.3 mV), and the presence of capping agents. ST-Ag NPs significantly decreased the growth of bacterial strains after treatment. The in vitro analysis showed that the ST-Ag NPs demonstrated dose-dependent cytotoxicity against cell lines. Based on the data, it is feasible to infer that biogenic Ag NPs were capped with functional groups and demonstrated considerable potential as antibacterial and anticancer agents for biomedical and industrial applications.

(2023) Cetik Yildiz, Songul; Demir, Cemil
ABSTRACT Objectives: Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), which are significant nosocomial pathogens, have become a growing global problem because their carriage and diseases have become resistant to many antibiotics. This study aimed to investigate and determine the rate of MRSA carriage among patients receiving hemodialysis treatment using molecular methods. Methods: In the 254 hemodialysis patients, the nasal carriage rates, susceptibility and resistance to S. aureus, CoNS and MRSA were examined using culture and real-time PCR methods. Nasal samples from hemodialysis patients were examined using real-time PCR. Microscopic examination was performed using the Gram staining method, and S. aureus was identified using catalase and coagulase. The strains were then tested for antibiotic susceptibility. Staphylococci was isolated from 231 of the 254 patients. Results: S. aureus carriage was detected in 50 patients, MRSA in 16, methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) in 33, CoNS in 66, methicillin-resistant CoNS (MR-CoNS) in 38, and methicillin-susceptible CoNS (MSCoNS) in 28. S. aureus and MRSA strains exhibited 100% susceptibility to nitrofurantoin, and vancomycin. MSSA strains showed the highest susceptibility to chloramphenicol, clindamycin (84.8%), and co-trimoxazole (36.4%). CoNS showed 100% susceptibility to vancomycin, and 16.7% susceptibility to ampicillin. Vancomycin was found to be the most effective antibiotic against S. aureus, CoNS, and MRSA pathogens identified in patients undergoing hemodialysis, whereas penicillin resistance was found. Conclusions: It can be concluded that one of the most effective ways to prevent the formation of antibiotic resistant strains is the hygiene of the hospital and hospital staff. Real-time PCR is very important for analyzing with high sensitivity.

(Elsevier Science S.A., 2024) Solgun, Derya Gungordu; 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.
Alfa-Metil benzilamin Grupları İçeren Fe3O4@SiO2 manyetik nanoparçacıklar kullanarak rasemik mandelik asidin rezolüsyonu
(2012) Tarhan; Tural; Tural, Tuba; Bilsen; Servet
Tıbbi ve tarımsal ilaçlar, besin katkı maddeleri gibi yararlı kimyasal maddeler ve sıvı kristaller, polimerler gibi materyal bilimi için gerekli enantiyomerik saf bileşiklere olan ihtiyaç son 30 yılda giderek artmıştır. Biyolojik etken maddelerin yapı ve aktivite ilişkileri incelendiğinde tek izomerlerin hedef seçici olmalarından dolayı rasemik karışımlara göre çok daha etkin oldukları görülmektedir. Ayrıca tek enantiyomerden oluşan ilaçların ya çok az ya da hiç yan etkilerinin bulunmaması da etken maddelerin tek izomerlerinin elde edilmesine olan ilgiyi artırmaktadır. Kiral bir ilaç etken maddesinin enantiyomerlerinden birisi vücutta fizyolojik olarak değişiklik yaparken diğer enantiyomeri ya etkili olmaz ya da ciddi fizyolojik zararlara neden olabilir. Bunun sonucu olarak biyolojik sistemler ve ilaçlar arasındaki kiral tanınma oldukça önemlidir. Örneğin softenon isimli bileşiğin (R)-enantiyomeri yatıştırıcı özellik gösterirken (S)-enantiyomeri embriyoda bozukluğa yol açar. Yine benzer şekilde (S)-(-)-propranolol 1960’larda kalp hastalığının tedavisi için β-bloker olarak tanımlanmıştır. Ancak enantiyomeri (R)-(+)-propranolol gebelik önleyici olarak etki eder. Buradan anlaşıldığı gibi enantiyomerler birbirine zıt etki gösterebilirler. Bu nedenle klinik kullanımda bir bileşiğin enantiyomerik saflığı çok önemlidir. Ayrıca enantiyomerlerden biri aktif diğeri inaktif özellik gösterebilir. Kiral bir bileşik olan kloroamfenikol buna en iyi örneklerden biridir. (R,R)-kloroamfenikol antibakteriyel özellik gösterirken, (S,S)-kloroamfenikol inaktif özellik göstermektedir. Bu gibi ilaçların rasemik olarak vücuda alınmasında, gerekli birim miktardaki etken maddeyi karşılamak için rasemik karışımdan iki kat almak gerekmektedir. Ayrıca başlangıç maddeleri ve kaynakların yarısı boşa harcandığı için bu ekonomik açıdan istenmeyen bir durumdur. Bu nedenlerden dolayı tek bir enantiyomer her zaman için rasemik karışıma göre daha fazla biyolojik aktivite gösterir. Biyolojik aktivite bakımından optik saflığın öneminin giderek artmasıyla optik saflığın belirlenmesi için kesin ve güvenilir metotların geliştirilmesine ihtiyaç duyulmuştur. Ayrıca bilindiği gibi son zamanlarda tek enantiyomerli ilaç satışları dünya çapında sürekli olarak büyümektedir. Bu çalışmada kiral organik asit olan mandelik asidin rasemik karışımının rezolüsyonu düşünülmektedir. Bu maddeye benzer özellik taşıyan ve ilaç olarak kullanılan kiral organik asitlere, α-arilpropiyonik asit sınıfından olan (S)-Naproxen, (S)-Ketoprofen, (S)-Flurbiprofen, (S)-Fenilpropiyonik asid ve (S)-ibuprofen örnek olarak verilebilir. Rezolüsyonu yapılmak istenen, kiral bir organik asit olan mandelik asitin her iki enantiyomerik formuda farklı farmokolojik aktiviteye sahiptir. D-mandelik asit, antibiyotik olan ilacın aktivitesini geliştirdiği için terapatik özellik göstermektedir. D-mandelik asidin bu terapik özelliğinden dolayı tıpta kullanılan yaygın ilaçların başında gelir. L-mandelik asidin kullanım alanları, hayvan sağlığında veterinerlikte ilaç ham maddesi olarak kullanılır. Yani hayvan sağlığı ve hayvan bakım ilaçlarında, oral solüsyon olarak kullanılır. Mandelik asit uzun yıllar boyunca tıpta anti bakteriyel olarak, özellikle idrar yolu enfeksiyonları tedavisinde kullanılmaktaydı. Ayrıca cilt hastalıkları tedavisinde, cilt bakım ürünlerinde özellikle yetişkinlerdeki akne sorunlarına iyi bir tedavi sunmaktadır. Rosacea hastalığında (gül hastalığı) iltihaplanma ve kızarıklıkları gidermekte, mandelik asit ürünleri lazer öncesi ve sonrasında, deride meydana gelen tahriş ve kızarıklıkları azaltmada kullanılır. Tüm bu nedenlerden dolayı Mandelik asitin enantiomerlerine ayrılması önem arz etmektedir. Fonksiyonel grup bağlı nanoparçacıklardaki son gelişmeler, biyomedikal alandaki uygulamalar için ümit verici olmuştur. Magnetit(Fe3O4) kimyasal olarak kararlı, toksik ve kanserojen olmayan bir manyetik malzemedir. Magnetit nanoparçacıkları veya nanoparçacık agregatları enzim ve protein immobilizasyonu, RNA ve DNA saflaştırması, manyetik hücre saflaştırması ve ayrılmasında yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu uygulamalarda özellikle süperparamanyetik magnetit nanoparçacıklar tercih edilmektedir. Çünkü süperparamanyetik özellik manyetik kompozit parçacıklarının agregasyonunu önler ve manyetik alan uzaklaştırıldığında parçacıkların çözelti içinde hızlı bir şekilde dağılmalarını sağlar. Manyetik ayırma teknikleri, klasik ayırma teknikleriyle karşılaştırıldığında bazı avantajlara sahiptir. Buna bağlı olarak son zamanlarda, biyolojik moleküllerin saflaştırılma ve ayrılması için yüzeyi uygun gruplarla kaplanmış nano ve mikro parçacıkların geliştirilmesine yönelik çalışmalar önem kazanmıştır. Fonksiyonel grup bağlamaya uygun bir platform sağladığı için silika kaplı manyetik nanoparçacık ve nanoparçacık agregatları teknolojik açıdan büyük ilgi görmektedir. Özel bir uygulama için gerekli manyetik nanoparçacıklar, yüzeyde kaplanmış olan silikanın fonksiyonel gruplarının farklılaştırılması ile kolayca hazırlanabilir. Silika, hidroksil(-OH) fonksiyonel gruplarından dolayı bir kaplama metaryeli olarak önem kazanmaktadır. Fonksiyonel grup bağlı nanoparçacıklardaki son gelişmeler, biyomedikal alanda ve ilaç endüstrisindeki uygulamalar için ümit verici olmuştur. Magnetit (Fe3O4) kimyasal olarak kararlı, toksik ve kanserojen olmayan bir manyetik malzemedir. Magnetit nanoparçacıkları veya nanoparçacık agregatları enzim ve protein immobilizasyonu, RNA ve DNA saflaştırması, manyetik hücre saflaştırması ve ayrılmasında yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu uygulamalarda özellikle süper paramanyetik nanoparçacıklar tercih edilmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra manyetik nano parçacıkların optikçe aktif (kiral) maddelerin enantiyomerlerine ayrılmasında çok önemli rol oynayacağını düşünmekteyiz. Kiral maddeler R veya S izomerik yapıda olabilir. Bu R ve S yapıların birbirinden ayrılması ilaç dünyası için çok büyük önem taşımaktadır. Çünkü var olan ilaçların birçoğu rasemik yapıda olup, etken maddenin hem R hem de S formunu içermektedir. Oysa bir hastalığın tedavisinde kullanılacak olan etken maddenin R veya S formlarından biri hastalığın tedavisinde görev görmekte diğer form ise kimyasal atık olarak vücutta kalmaktadır. Kullanılmayan form yan etki göstermeyeceği gibi zehir etkisi de gösterebilmektedir. Bu yüzden kiral ayırma her zaman için çok önemli olmuştur.

Removal of 17β-estradiol from aqueous systems with hydrophobic microspheres
(Journal of Polymer Engineering, 2021) Alacabey, İhsan; Kireç, Osman; Alkan, Hüseyin; Erol, Kadir
Sub-microparticles have many applications in different fields today. In this study, it is aimed to develop hydrophobic microparticles as an alternative to existing methods and to determine the 17β-estradiol adsorption performance of this adsorbent to purify the 17β-estradiol hormone which is found as an endocrine disruptor in environmental waters with high capacity and low cost. In this study, L-phenylalanine containing Poly(HEMA-MAPA) microparticles were synthesized by microemulsion polymerization and used as adsorbent. Microparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) methods. The size of the Poly(HEMA-MAPA) microparticles used was measured as 120-200 nm. Specific surface area and elemental analysis studies were also conducted. While the surface area of the particles was found to be a very high value of 1890 m2/g, the amount of incorporation of MAPA into the polymeric structure was calculated as 0.43 mmol/g. Adsorption studies were carried out in the batch system under different ambient conditions (17β-estradiol concentration, temperature, ionic intensity). The adsorption capacity of Poly(HEMA-MAPA) microparticles was calculated to be 98.4 mg/g. Isotherm models for adsorption interaction were investigated deeply, and it was determined that the adsorption mechanism is suitable for Langmuir isotherm.

(Hindawi, 2021) Baran, Ayşe; Keskin, Cumali; Baran, Mehmet Fırat; Huseynova, Irada; Khalilov, Rovshan; Eftekhari, Aziz; Irtegun-Kandemir, Sevgi; Kavak, Deniz Evrim
Metallic nanoparticles are valuable materials and have a range of uses. Nanoparticles synthesized from plant wastes by environment-friendly methods have attracted the attention of researchers in recent years. Also, the advantages of biological resources and synthesis methods are attracting attention. In this study, silver nanoparticles were synthesized from Ananas comosus fruit peels using ecofriendly method steps. The characterization of the particles obtained was determined by using a UV-visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis.), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction diffractometer (XRD), Fourier scanning electron microscope (FESEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The nanoparticles showed maximum absorbance at 463 nm, measuring 11.61 in crystal nanosize, and presented spherical in appearance. An antimicrobial activity test was determined with the minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) method. The nanoparticles showed promising inhibitory activity on the Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogen microorganisms (Escherichia coli ATCC25922, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC29213, Bacillus subtilis ATCC11774, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC27833 bacteria, and Candida albicans yeast) at low concentrations. The cytotoxic and growth inhibitory effects of silver nanoparticles on different cancer cell lines were examined via the MTT assay. © 2021 Ayşe Baran et al.
