    Synthesis of some novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives and evaluation of their antimicrobial activity
    (2022-01-01) TOK, FATİH; KAYMAKÇIOĞLU, BEDİA; TOK F., Kaya M., KARACA GENÇER H., KAYMAKÇIOĞLU B.
    Treatment for microbial infections still remains an important health problem for researchers around the world. Despite a broad range of antimicrobial drugs today, there are certain obstacles associated with the use of antimicrobial agents such as drug resistance and toxicity. Thus, medicinal chemists concentrate on designing novel antimicrobial drugs. In the search for new antimicrobial agents; 1,3,4-oxadiazole compounds have come forward due to their hydrolytic stability, good chemical and thermal stability. In the scope of this work, 2-(6-chloropyridin-3-yl)-5-(substitutedphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (4a-4i) were synthesizedusing 6-chloro-N\"-(substitutedbenzoyl)nicotinohydrazide (3a-3i). These compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activities against as gram-positive bacteria S. aureus, E. faecalis, as gram-negative bacteria E. coli, P. aeruginosa, as yeast C. parapsilosis, C. albicans, C. glabrata. Among the 1,3,4-oxadiazole compounds, 4h against E. faecalis and 4b, 4f and 4g against E. coli have been found to exhibit as much as potency chloramphenicol with MIC50 values of 62.50 mu g/mL.

    (2022-01-01) TOK, FATİH; KAYMAKÇIOĞLU, BEDİA; TOK F., ERDOĞAN Ö., ÇEVİK Ö., KAYMAKÇIOĞLU B.
    A new series of 2-pyrazoline derivatives starting from substituted benzodioxole chalcones were designed and synthesized. IR and 1H NMR spectral data and elemental analysis were used to characterize the structures of the synthesized compounds. The cytotoxic activities on HeLa, MCF-7 cancer cell lines and NIH-3T3 for these compounds were tested by using MTT assay. Among the synthesized compounds 2d, 2j, 3j and 3n against MCF-7 cells, and 3c against HeLa exhibited significant cytotoxic activity with IC50 between 10.08 and 27.63 mu M. Compound 3f showed the most potent anticancer activity against both cancer cells with good selectivity (IC50 = 11.53 mu M on HeLa with SI = 81.75 and IC50 = 11.37 mu M on MCF-7 with SI = 82.90). Furthermore, in silico ADMET analyses were performed and the drug-likeness properties of the compounds were investigated.

    N-Substituted Arylidene-3-(Methylsulfonyl)-2-Oxoimidazolidine-1-Carbohydrazide as Cholinesterase Inhibitors: Design, Synthesis, and Molecular Docking Study
    (2022-08-01) TOK, FATİH; KAYMAKÇIOĞLU, BEDİA; TOK F., SAĞLIK B. N., ÖZKAY Y., KAPLANCIKLI Z. A., KAYMAKÇIOĞLU B.
    The development of new enzyme inhibitors in degenerative brain diseases has gained more attention. Enzyme inhibitors play an effective role in controlling central nervous system diseases. For this purpose, a novel series of hydrazone derivatives containing imidazolidine ring aimed against Alzheimer\"s disease (AD), have been designed and synthesized. The acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme inhibitory activity of these compounds was investigated. The structures of the compounds were determined by IR, H-1 and C-13-NMR and mass spectroscopic methods. Inhibition studies on the cholinesterase (ChE) enzymes and beta-amyloid plaque inhibition test of the compounds were performed. Based on the experimental results, compound 3j bearing dimethoxy substituent on the aromatic ring like donepezil exhibited the most AChE inhibitory activity with the IC50 values of 0.023 +/- 0.001 mu M. Owing to obtained biological activity and molecular docking study results, it is thought that the most active compound 3j may play a role in both symptomatic and palliative treatment of AD.

    Synthesis of phthalimide derivatives and their insecticidal activity against caribbean fruit fly, anastrepha suspensa (Loew)
    (2023-02-01) TOK, FATİH; KAYMAKÇIOĞLU, BEDİA; TOK F., Yang X., Tabanca N., Koçyiğit-Kaymakçıoğlu B.
    In this study, thirteen phthalimide derivatives were designed and synthesized. All synthesized compounds were evaluated to determine their potential for inhibitory activities against females of the Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa (Loew) (Diptera: Tephritidae). These efforts led to the discovery of three compounds 4a, 4c, and 4d with potent insecticidal activity (LD50 range from 0.70 to 1.91 μg/fly). Among these compounds, 4a exhibited the highest inhibitory potency with 0.70 μg/fly. In addition, in silico models indicated that compound 4a is less toxic than phthalimide and other precursors. Therefore, our results suggest that 4a has strong potential as a candidate component for developing a novel environmentally friendly insecticide for control of pest fruit flies.

In activity studies of pyrazolines against cholinesterase (AChE and BChE), tyrosinase, α-amylase and α-glucosidase, compound P1 (IC50 = 39.51±3.80 µM) showed higher activity against α-amylase and compounds P5 and P12 displayed higher activity against α-glucosidase than acarbose with IC50 values of 14.09±0.62 and 83.26±2.57 µM, respectively. The drug-like properties such as Lipinski and Veber, bioavailability and toxicity risks of the synthesized compounds were also evaluated. The compounds were predicted to be compatible with Lipinski and Veber rules, have high bioavailability and low toxicity profiles. Moreover, molecular docking studies were performed to better understand the high activity of the compounds against a-amylase and a-glucosidase enzymes.

    Recent advances in the microwave and ultrasound-assisted synthesis of pyrazole scaffolds
    (2023-01-01) TOK, FATİH; KAYMAKÇIOĞLU, BEDİA; TOK F., Koçyiğit-Kaymakçıoğlu B.
    Pyrazoles are well-known five-membered heterocyclic compounds and are found in a wide variety of synthetic and natural compounds. Compounds carrying pyrazole scaffolds exhibit a wide range of biological activities such as anticancer, antimicrobial, anticon-vulsant, antioxidant, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. Pharmaceuticals with many different activities in the pyrazole structure are currently on the market (e.g., celecoxib, lona-zolac, tepoxalin, rimonabant, pyrazofurin, epirizole). The pyrazole ring contains the N-N double bond, which is thought to have a key role in biological activity, and compounds with this bond are difficult to produce by organisms, so their relative abundance is very low in nature. For this reason, many studies have been carried out on this structure and it has been revealed that the structure has a unique effect spectrum. Microwave-assisted synthesis has opened up some new opportunities compared to conventional synthesis. It is possible to use less solvent and reduce processing time with microwave synthesis. In addition, better selectivity and thermal stability are provided by microwave synthesis. Ultrasound-assisted synthesis is often used to enhance conventional solvent extraction, while microwaves reveal bioactive compounds by heating without any solvent. In the traditional method of pyrazole syn-thesis; polar solvents, acidic and basic catalysts are needed in large quantities in the synthesis of pyrazole scaffolds. This review aims to summarize the recent advancements in the synthesis methods of a pyrazole ring with non-traditional methods. Therefore this article will provide readers with a new perspective on the synthesis of pyrazole scaffolds as an environmentally friendly alternative.

    (2024-11-05) TOK, FATİH; Uğraş Z., TOK F., Çakir C., Tuna K., Tatar-Yilmaz G., Mutlu D., Sicak Y., Arslan Ş., Öztürk M., Koçyіğіt-Kaymakçioğlu B.
    Herein, unique pyrazoline derivatives were synthesized, and their structures were elucidated by various spectroscopic techniques. Moreover, potential in vitro acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), α-glucosidase, and α-amylase inhibition effects of the compounds were also investigated. Molecular docking studies were performed to further elucidate the enzyme inhibitory activities. The compound 2c (IC50 = 1.64±0.04 and 4.18±0.22 µM, respectively) exhibited the strongest inhibitory activity against AChE and BChE, while compounds 2 m (IC50 = 4.29±0.20 µM) and 2i (IC50 = 4.31±0.08 µM) showed promising AChE inhibitory activity. On the other hand, compounds 2a (IC50= 5.01±0.13 µM) and 2i (IC50 = 5.06±0.72 µM) significantly inhibited BChE. In addition, all compounds except 2c and 2f showed great inhibitory activity against α-amylase at lower concentrations compared to acarbose (IC50 = 72.57 ± 3.16 µM). Similarly, all compounds except 2k exhibited higher inhibitory activity than acarbose (IC50 = 207.08±12.20 µM) against α-glucosidase. Among the compounds, 2a (IC50 = 15.05±5.64 µM), 2b (IC50 = 14.34±5.05 µM), and 2e (IC50 = 11.72±0.46 µM) had excellent inhibitory activity at certain concentrations. The data obtained from the molecular docking studies supported inhibitory activity results. This study presents potential leads for the development of antidiabetic and Alzheimer\"s therapeutics.
