    Objective: This study was conducted to determine and compare the antioxidant, cytotoxic, and antimicrobial effects of spindle leaves of Elaeagnus angustifolia L. (E. angustifolia) (oleaster) leaves. Methods: Total phenolic content was measured using the Folin-Ciocalteu method, phenolic compound analysis by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) and antimicrobial effect by the minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) method. The free radical scavenging activity was determined by the (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) DPPH method, the free radical scavenging activity was determined by the ABTS method, and cytotoxicity assays were performed by the MTT method in human retinal epithelium cells (RPE-1), human osteosarcoma cells (U2OS), and prostate cancer cells (DU-145) cell lines. Results: High amounts of gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, and o-coumaric acid were identified as phenolic compounds. E. angustifolia was found to have a good antioxidant capacity and high free radical scavenging capacity. In this study, for the first time, E. angustifolia leaf extract was used to investigate cytotoxic effects on human retinal epithelium (RPE-1), human osteosarcoma cells (U2OS), and prostate cancer (DU-145) cells and antimicrobial effects on Listeria monocytogenes American Type Culture Collection (ATTC) 7644, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Klebsiella pneumonia ATCC 11774, and Candida albicans ATCC 10231 microorganisms. The highest cytotoxic effect was observed in the DU-145 cell line, and the highest antimicrobial effect was observed in Listeria monocytogenes ATTC 7644 and Candida albicans ATCC 10231. The leaf extract of the plant contains some important phenolic compounds and has high free radical scavenging capacity, a good anticancer effect, and effective antimicrobial activity on yeast species such as C. albicans. Conclusion: Our study will contribute greatly to the search for anticancer and antimicrobial agents, especially from a pharmacological perspective, by examining biological activity using three different methods.

    Cytotoxic and Antimicrobial Analysis of Biosynthesized Selenium Nanoparticles From Solanum Tuberosum Peels
    (2025) Keskin, Cumali; Baran, Ayşe; Aktepe, Necmettin
    In recent years, interest in the eco-friendly manufacturing of metal nanoparticles from plant extracts has surged. Nonetheless, no research has examined the combined antibacterial and anticancer properties of SeNPs synthesized with Solanum tuberosum (S. tuberosum) extract. This study involved the synthesis of selenium nanoparticles (ST-SeNPs) utilizing phytochemicals with reducing and capturing properties derived from the aqueous extract of S. tuberosum shell through a green synthesis approach. To determine the unique characteristics of ST-SeNPs nanoparticles, a variety of techniques were used, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), zeta potential analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX). The optical characteristics of ST-SeNPs were validated using UV-Vis measurement, revealing the peak absorbance at 350 nm. FTIR examination verified the presence of functional groups on the surface of the produced ST-SeNPs nanoparticles. Upon examination of the SEM results, it was concluded that the synthesized SeNPs exhibited uniform distribution and possessed a round morphology. The anticancer efficacy of the produced nanoparticles on the A549 lung cancer cell line and OVCAR-3 ovarian cancer cell line after 24 and 48 hours of exposure was assessed using the MTT test. It was established that elevated concentration inhibited cell growth. The inhibitory efficacy of SeNPs against the proliferation of Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and Candida albicans (C. albicans) was assessed using the disk diffusion agar technique. The evaluated SeNPs exhibited antibacterial efficacy against bacterial and yeast cells. The results indicate that ST-SeNPs produced via green synthesis can serve as anticancer and antibacterial agents.

    (Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam Üniversitesi, 2022) Baran, Mehmet Fırat; Düz, Zahir; Baran, Ayşe; Keskin, Cumali; Aktepe, Necmettin
    Water is an important part of the ecosystem for life. With industrialization, pollution in water resources has reached a worrying level. Water pollution due to heavy metals and their increasing concentrations have caused researchers to increase their interest in the subject due to the damage they cause to water ecosystems. It requires serious cost and time to eliminate the pollution caused by heavy metals in water. In recent, years, the use of biosorption method using bacteria to remove heavy metals in water has become widespread. The main reason why this method is preferred is that gram-positive bacteria have a thick peptidoglycan layer on the cell wall and increases the adsorption capacity. In this study. in drinking, waste, river water and artificially prepared samples, batch method of heavy metal biosorption and biosorption competition in multiple prepared heavy metal solutions were investigated. For these processes. Bacillus licheniformth sp. Bacillus subtilis sp. and Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6051) strains were used as a biosorbent. Biosorbtion of Cd (II), Cu (H), Pb (II), Fe(II), Ni (II) and Zn (II) metals from waters with these biosorbents at different pHs at. 25 degrees C with 0.25 mg LI It was investigated. Surface morphological structures of biosorbents were evaluated using SEM images and element compositions were evaluated using EDAX profile. Element content was determined using ICP-OES. It was found that heavy metal ions were removed up to 98% with maximum biosorption at pH 6.0.

    The present study investigates the antioxidant, anticancer, anticholinesterase, anti-genotoxic activities and phenolic contents of flower, fruit and seed methanol extracts of Hypericum retusum AUCHER. The amounts of protocatechuic acid, catechin, caffeic acid and syringic acid in methanol extracts were determined by HPLC. Total phenolic content of H. retusum seed extract was found more than fruit and flower extracts. The DPPH free radical scavenging activity of flower and seed methanol extracts showed close activity versus BHT as control. Among three extracts of H. retusum only flower methanol extract was exhibited considerable cytotoxic activities against to HeLa and NRK-52E cell lines. Moreover, seed methanol extract showed both acetyl and butyrl-cholinesterase inhibitory activity. The highest anti-genotoxic effects were seen 25 and 50 μg/mL concentrations. In this study, the extracts showed a strong antioxidant and anti-genotoxic effect. The seed extract was more efficient- than extracts of fruit and flowers. Our results suggest that the antioxidant and anti-genotoxic effects of extracts depend on their phenolic contents. Further studies should evaluate the in-vitro and in-vivo the benefits of H. retusum seed methanol extracts. © 2017 by School of Pharmacy.

    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
    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.

    (Wiley, 2021) Aktepe, Necmettin; Keskin, Cumali; Baran, Ayşe; Atalar, Mehmet Nuri; Baran, Mehmet Fırat; Akmeşe, Şükrü
    In this study, in vitro antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticholinesterase and phenolic profile of different solvent extracts of Scilla mesopotamica speta were determined in detail. In vitro antioxidant activities and total phenolic and flavonoid contents of plant extracts obtained with different solvents were tested in terms of 2.2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activities. The highest total phenolic and total flavonoid contents were determined in the ethyl acetate extract (62.24 mu g GAE/mg) and chloroform extract (87.72 mu g QE/mg) respectively. The highest DPPH radical scavenging activity was detected in ethyl acetate extracts. Antimicrobial and antifungal activities were investigated by MIC method. The inhibitory activities of the extracts on the acetyl cholinesterase enzyme were investigated. Liquid chromatography (LC) tandem mass spectrometry LC-MS/MS was used to determine the phenolic component content of extracts. Thirty-one different components were identified in the analyses and their amounts were measured. Practical applications Scilla mesopotamica speta is an endemic and medicinal plant. It was determined that the extracts of this plant had a very rich content in terms of phenolic compounds, especially caffeic and ferulic acids. However, this plant was remarkable for its antioxidant, anticholinesterase, and antimicrobial activities. Considering the strong antioxidant, antimicrobial, and enzyme inhibition activities of the Scilla mesopotamica speta it can be suggested as a source of anticancer, antimicrobial, and antiviral drugs.
