    Development, Characterization and Application of Chitosan-Based Formulation Incorporating Crataegus Orientalis Extract for Food Conservation
    (Jomard Publishing, 2025) Evcil, Murat; Kurt, Barış; Baran, Ayse; Mouhoub, Anouar; Karakaplan, Mehmet
    In this investigation, chitosan-based films loaded with plant extracts from Crataegus orientalis (CR) were elaborated and evaluated in terms of structural, physicochemical and antimicrobial properties. Firstly, the CR extract was characterized by LC-MS/MS showing an abundance of Protocatechuic acid (56.82 μg/g) and Chlorogenic acid (67.13 μg/g). Then, the extract was incorporated into chitosan-based films at different concentrations (CHCR1-3). Findings revealed modifications in FTIR and XRD graphs as well as SEM micrographs following the incorporation of CR extract confirming the changes in the matrix structure and texture. Moreover, the addition of the extract reduced the transparency, swelling ratio, water solubility and moisture content potencies while increasing considerably the material thickness reaching 2.5-fold as regards CHCR3. Furthermore, Thermogravimetric findings showed three stages of degradation for CH control and CHCR2, with mass loss due to water evaporation and glycerol breakdown. Ultimately, CHCR bioformulations showed significant antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans, especially in the case of the CHCR3, which was verified by the application as a preservative coating for lemon fruit. These encouraging results highlight the potential utilization of CHCR bioformulation as coating/packaging for perishable food products. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Green Synthesis and Characterization of Silver Nanoparticles Using Anchusa Officinalis: Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Potential
    (Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2025) Keskin, Cumali; Aslan, Seyhan; Baran, Mehmet Firat; Baran, Ayse; Eftekhari, Aziz; Adican, Mehmet Tevfik; Mohamed, Ali Jimale
    Objective: Anchusa officinalis L. (A. officinalis) is a herbaceous traditional medicinal plant used in the treatment of some diseases. The presence of its medicinal properties suggested that A. officinalis (AO) leaf extract could be used as a coating agent for the environmentally friendly production of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Methods: The synthesized biogenic silver nanoparticles (AO-AgNPs) were characterized using different techniques. The antimicrobial activity of AgNPs against common bacterial pathogenic strains was determined by the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method. The presence of phytochemicals was determined by LSMS/MS. The MTT assay was used to investigate AO-AgNPs' cytotoxic activity in malignant (LnCap, Caco2, MDA-MB2, A549) and healthy (HEK-293) cell lines. Results: LC-MS/MS analysis detected the presence of rich phytochemicals that may be responsible for reduction reactions. Biogenic AO-AgNPs exhibited effective inhibition of the growth of pathogenic microorganisms at low concentrations. The most effective antimicrobial activity was measured as 0.5 mu g/mL MIC against S. aureus, E. coli, and C. albicans. Moreover, AO-AgNPs showed significant inhibition on the growth of cancerous cell lines, especially at a concentration of 25 mu g/mL. On the contrary, it was determined that the inhibition rate decreased in the growth of healthy cell lines due to the increase in concentration. The lowest EC50 values were determined as 15.15 mu g/mL in A549 cells. Conclusion: The obtained results showed that AO could be an important source for the synthesis of AgNPs. Especially their ability to inhibit the growth of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria at low concentrations compared to common antibiotics indicates that AOAgNPs can be used as biomedical agents in various areas. Moreover, their suppressive effect on cancerous cell lines showed that they have the potential to be used as an anticancer agent, but due to their proliferative effect on healthy cell lines, care should be taken in determining the appropriate dose.

    (Molecules, 2023) Keskin, Cumali; Mehmet Fırat Baran, Cumali Keskin, Ayşe Baran, Aziz Eftekhari, Sabina Omarova, Rovshan Khalilov, Mehmet Tevfik Adican, Gvozden Rosić, Dragica Selakovic, Mahmut Yıldıztekin, Kadri Kurt, Canan Aytuğ Ava, Mehmet Nuri Atalar; Baran, Mehmet Firat; Atalar, Mehmet Nuri; Eftekhari, Aziz; Khalilov, Rovshan; Baran, Ayse; Omarova, Sabina
    The current work’s main objective was to determine the chemical composition of Amygdalus communis (AC) leaf extract and examine the antibacterial and cytotoxic properties of biosynthesized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The chemical composition of AC leaf extract was determined using LC-ESI/MS/MS to detect compounds that may be responsible for the reducing, stabilizing, and capping steps in the synthesis of nanoparticles and their biological activities. The AC-AuNPs were spherical, with a particle size lower than 100 nm and a face-centered cubic structure. The EDX spectrum confirmed the formation of AuNPs and a negative zeta potential value (−27.7 mV) suggested their physicochemical stability. The in vitro cytotoxic efficacy of the AC-AuNPs against colorectal adenocarcinoma (Caco-2), glioma (U118), and ovarian (Skov-3) cancer cell lines and human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) was evaluated by MTT assay. CaCo-2 cell proliferation was effectively inhibited by the AC-AuNPs at concentrations between 25 and 100 g mL−1. The AC-AuNPs exerted preeminent antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis with an MIC of 0.02 μg/mL, whilst good activity was shown against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and Candida albicans yeast with an MIC of 0.12 μg/mL. Ultimately, the results support the high antibacterial and anticancer potential of biosynthesized AuNPs from AC leaf extract.

    (Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2024) Turna, Talip; Solmaz, Alper; Baran, Ayse
    In this study, it was aimed to remove Congo Red (CR) dye in aqueous solution by biosynthesized Selenium Nanoparticles from Prunus armeniaca L. (PAL-SeNPs) leaf wastes by green synthesis method. The characteristic structure of PAL-SeNPs was determined by UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zetasizer, and point of zero charge (pHpzc). The effects of pH, adsorbent amount, time, initial concentration, and temperature were investigated by batch adsorption studies. 2 different kinetic and 4 isotherm models were tested and error analysis functions were determined for the most suitable model. Accordingly, the particle size, crystallinity, pHpzc value and average surface charge of PAL-SeNPs were determined as 9.969 nm, 48.50 %, 3.47, and -23.6 mV, respectively. Also, the most suitable kinetic and isotherm models for the removal of CR dye with PAL-SeNPs were found as Pseudo-second-order and Freundlich, with R2 values of 0.996, respectively. Also, where the optimum pH was 7.00, the maximum adsorption capacity was calculated as 96.59 mgCR/gPAL-SeNPs. The results obtained show that environmentally friendly and low-cost PAL-SeNPs produced by the green synthesis method are a suitable alternative for the removal of CR dye.

    Determination of Chemical Composition and Antioxidant, Cytotoxic, Antimicrobial, and Enzyme Inhibition Activities of Rumex Acetosella L. Plant Extract
    (Springer int Publ AG, 2024) Kandemir, Sevgi Irtegun; Aktepe, Necmettin; Baran, Ayse; Baran, Mehmet Firat; Atalar, Mehmet Nuri; Keskin, Cumali; Khalilov, Rovshan; Irtegün Kandemir, Sevgi
    Purpose The phenolic composition, antioxidant, antimicrobial activity, enzyme inhibition activity, and cytotoxic activity potentials of the plant Rumex acetosella L. (R. acetosella) were examined in this study. Materials and Methods: The chemical composition of R. acetosella methanol extract was identified by the LC-MS/MS method. The antioxidant activity was tested using beta-carotene/linoleic acid, DPPH free radical scavenging, ABTS cation radical scavenging, CUPRAC reducing power, and metal chelating activity methods. The cytotoxic activity was determined by the MTT assay using human ovarian adenocarcinoma (Skov-3), glioblastoma (U87), human dermal fibroblasts (HDF), and human colorectal adenocarcinoma (CaCo-2) cell lines. The antimicrobial activity of methanolic extracts was tested on gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeuriginosa) and gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) using the in vitro minimum inhibition concentration method (MIC). Enzyme inhibition activity of R. acetosella methanol extract was measured spectrophotometrically against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes. Results: The findings showed that the major components of the methanol extract content were luteolin-7-O-glucoside (1.599 m/L), polydatin (91,024 m/L), and shikimic acid (0.773 m/L). It was determined that the extract and standard antioxidant (a-tocopherol) results in DPPH center dot, and ABTS center dot + tests performed to determine the antioxidant activity were close to each other, and this value was more effective than the standard antioxidant (alpha-tocopherol) in the CUPRAC test. These results suggested that the plant's antioxidant potential was higher when compared with reference antioxidant compounds. It was determined that the methanol extract of R. acetosella had a weaker effect on the growth of the tested microorganisms than the antibiotics used as standard. The activity of the GST and AChE enzymes was found to be severely inhibited by the methanol extract of R. acetosella. Conclusion: Based on these findings, R. acetosella L. is a medicinal and commercially beneficial plant that warrants further investigation.

    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.
