Publication Metadata only Synthesis and antiproliferative evaluation of novel 2-(4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-ylthio)acetamide derivatives as inducers of apoptosis in cancer cells(ELSEVIER FRANCE-EDITIONS SCIENTIFIQUES MEDICALES ELSEVIER, 2016) ÖZSAVCI, DERYA; Kulabas, Necla; Tatar, Esra; Ozakpinar, Ozlem Bingol; Ozsavci, Derya; Pannecouque, Christophe; De Clercq, Erik; Kucukguzel, IlkayIn this study, a series of thiosemicarbazide derivatives 12-14, 1,2,4-triazol-3-thione derivatives 15-17 and compounds bearing 2-(4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-ylthio)acetamide structure 18-32 have been synthesized starting from phenolic compounds such as 2-naphthol, paracetamol and thymol. Structures and purity of the target compounds were confirmed by the use of their chromatographic and spectral data besides microanalysis. All of the synthesized new compounds 12-32 were evaluated for their anti-HIV activity. Among these compounds, three representatives 18, 19 and 25 were selected and evaluated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) against the full panel of 60 human cancer cell lines derived from nine different cancer types. Antiproliferative effects of the selected compounds were demonstrated in human tumor cell lines K-562, A549 and PC-3. These compounds inhibited cell growth assessed by MTT assay. Compound 18,19 and 25 exhibited anti-cancer activity with IC50 values of 5.96 mu M (PC-3 cells), 7.90 mu M (A549/ATCC cells) and 7.71 mu M (K-562 cells), respectively. After the cell viability assay, caspase activation and Bcl-2 activity of the selected compounds were measured and the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was detected. Compounds 18, 19 and 25 showed a significant increase in caspase-3 activity in a dose-dependent manner. This was not observed for caspase-8 activity with compound 18 and 25, while compound 19 was significantly elevated only at the dose of 50 mu M. In addition, all three compounds significantly decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential and expression of Bcl-2. (C) 2016 Elsevier Masson SAS.

The synthesis of arylidenerhodanine derivatives was performed through the optimized one pot strategy starting from commercially available materials in high yields and purity without troublesome work-ups, after recrystallization from an appropriate solvent. Enzyme inhibition activity screening studies on CA II was also carried out. IC50 values of some of examined molecules could be determined and it was observed that they were nanomolar level except for 1r, and lower than that of reference molecule. The inhibition in the range of 8.6-99.4% was seen in the presence of newly synthesized molecules at their reachable maximum concentration in the reaction mixtures. Among the examined molecules, 5a and 5p with the two lowest IC50 values were found to be the most potent inhibitors. In silico studies showed that all of the rhodanine derivatives have higher affinity than reference ligand against binding site, while none of the compounds have demonstrated any interaction with Zn2+ as with the classical sulfonamides.Publication Metadata only Design, synthesis and molecular modeling studies on novel moxifloxacin derivatives as potential antibacterial and antituberculosis agents(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2019) TÜRE, ASLI; Ture, Asli; Kulabas, Necla; Dingis, Serap Ipek; Birgul, Kaan; Bozdeveci, Arif; Karaoglu, Sengul Alpay; Krishna, Vagolu Siva; Sriram, Dharmarajan; Kucukguzel, IlkayTwenty-one novel alkyl/acyl/sulfonyl substituted fluoroquinolone derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their anti-tuberculosis and antibacterial activity. The targeted compounds were synthesized by the introduction of alkyl, acyl or sulfonyl moieties to the basic secondary amine moiety of moxifloxacin. Structures of the compounds were enlightened by FT-IR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR and HRMS data besides elemental analysis. Compounds were initially tested in vitro for their anti-mycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv using microplate alamar blue assay. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of all compounds were found between > 25.00-0.39 mu g/mL while compounds 1, 2 and 13 revealed an outstanding activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv with MIC values of 0.39 mu g/mL. Activities of compounds 1-21 against to a number of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fast growing mycobacterium strain were also investigated by agar well diffusion and microdilution methods. According to antimicrobial activity results, compound 13 was found the most potent derivative with a IC50 value of < 1.23 mu g/mL against Staphylococcus aureus and clinical strain of methicillin-resistant clinical strain of S. aureus.Publication Open Access Synthesis, characterization and biological evaluation of thioureas, acylthioureas and 4-thiazolidinones as anticancer and antiviral agents(MARMARA UNIV, FAC PHARMACY, 2017-04-01) ÖZSAVCI, DERYA; Kulabas, Necla; Ozakpinar, Ozlem Bingol; Ozsavci, Derya; Leyssen, Pieter; Neyts, Johan; Kucukguzel, IlkayIn this study, thiourea derivatives [1-4] were synthesized by using 2-amino-4-substituted pyridine compounds and these compounds have been used as the starting materials for synthesis of 2-imino-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one ring [5, 6]. Two different procedures for 4-thiazolidinone ring closure and synthesis method were optimized. The synthesized compounds were identified by the help of elemental analysis, IR, H-1-NMR, C-13-NMR and mass spectral data while the purities of them were proved with TLC. Synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antiviral and anticancer activity. Antiviral activity against Murine norovirus, Yellow fever, Enterovirus and Chikungunya strains of the test compounds were investigated and EC 50 values of these compounds were determined higher than 0,3 mu M. Cytotoxicity of test compounds was examined on NIH3T3 cell line. When the anticancer activity of test compounds was examined against PC-3, A549, HeLa, HT-29, MCF-7, SJSA1 and K562 cell lines, the percent proliferation values of these compounds were observed over 61% for all cell lines.
