    Context:Cotinus coggygria Scop. (Anacardiaceae) leaves that were used as wound healing in traditional Balkan and Anatolian folk medicine, could be potentially effective in treating diabetic wounds.Objective: This study investigates biochemical and histological effects of ethanol extract of C. coggygria (CCE) on excision wound model in diabetic rats.Materials and methods: This study was conducted on diabetic Wistar albino rats, which were injected by a single dose (50mg/kg i.p.) streptozotocin. Afterward an excision wound model was created in all animals; diabetic control rats were applied topically simple ointment and diabetic treatment rats were applied topically 5% (w/w) ointment with CC, once a day during the experimental period. Malondialdehyde, glutathione and hydroxyproline levels in wound tissues were investigated at the end of 3rd, 7th, and 14th days. Histopathological examination was also performed.Results: Hydroxyproline content was significantly increased in the CCE treated group versus control after the 3rd and 7th days (15.33 versus 11.83; 19.67 versus 15.67mg/g, p<0.05; respectively). A statistically significant elevation in glutathione at the end of 3rd, 7th, and 14th days (5.13 versus 1.58, p<0.05; 4.72 versus 1.88, p<0.05; 3.83 versus 1.88mol/g, p<0.05, respectively) and a statistically significant decrease in malondialdehyde level at the end of 7th day (4.49 versus 1.48nmol/g, p<0.05) were determined in the treated group versus control group. These results were also supported by histological analyses.Discussion and conclusion: These findings indicate that CCE accelerated the cutaneous wound healing process in diabetic wounds, in confirmation of its traditional use.

    In this study, in vitro biological activities and total phenol/flavonoid contents of methanol extract (ISM) and its hexane (ISH), chloroform (ISC), ethyl acetate (ISEA) and aqueous methanol (ISAM) fractions obtained from aerial parts of Inula salicina were investigated. ISEA showed the highest antioxidant activity against DPPH and ABTS radicals with an IC50 value of 0.014 mg ml-1 for both assays. ISEA exhibited a good anti-inflammatory activity with an IC50 value of 0.060 mg ml-1 . ISEA was found to exhibit a moderate level of antidiabetic activity against α amylase enzyme with an IC50 value of 0.290 mg ml-1 . ISEA and ISM presented low and moderate inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase enzymes with IC50 values of 0.577 and 0.279 mg ml-1 , respectively. ISC with MIC values of 78 and 156 µg ml-1 displayed a significant antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis, respectively. Almost all extracts had moderate effect against Candida species. The highest total phenolic and flavonoid contents were determined in ISEA with 574.8 mg GAE (gallic acid equivalent) g -1 extract and 30.48 mg QE (quercetin equivalent) g -1 extract, respectively. These results showed that ISEA had a good antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity with moderate α-amylase and butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory activity. Also, ISC exhibited a significant antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus species.

    (SLOVENSKO KEMIJSKO DRUSTVO, 2019-12-18) DOĞAN, AHMET; Sen, Ali; Goger, Fatih; Dogan, Ahmet; Bitis, Leyla
    In this study, we report anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of two acylated isoscutellarein glucosides isolated from ethyl acetate extract of Stachys subnuda aerial part. 4'-O-methylisoscutellarein-7-O-2 ''-O-(6 ''' acetyl-beta-D-allopyranosyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (SS1) and isoscutellarein-7-O-2 ''-O-(6 '''-O-acetyl-beta-D allopyranosyl)-beta-D -glucopyranoside (SS2) were isolated as major compounds from ethyl acetate extract (SSEA). Also, 2 hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives, and 5 isoscutellarein glucoside derivatives in the SSEA were identified using LC-MS/MS. SS1 with IC50 values of 2.35 and 1.98 mu g/mL and SS2 with IC50 values 13.94 and 12.76 mu g/mL showed fairly strong antioxidant activity against DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radicals, respectively. SS1 and SS2 inhibited 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) activity with IC(50 )values of 47.23 and 41.60 mu g/mL, respectively. The results demonstrated that SS1 and SS2 have significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential. Acylated flavonoid glycosides have been first reported for Stachys subnuda. Also, the activities of SS1 and SS2 have been investigated for the first time in this study.

    Protective effects of Rubus tereticaulis leaves ethanol extract on rats with ulcerative colitis and bio-guided isolation of its active compounds: A combined in silico, in vitro and in vivo study
    (2022-11-01) ŞEN, ALİ; ÖZBEYLİ, DİLEK; ERTAŞ, BÜŞRA; DOĞAN, AHMET; BİTİŞ, LEYLA; Şen A., Özbeyli D., Teralı K., Göger F., Yıldırım A., Ertaş B., Doğan A., Bitiş L., Şener G.
    The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of active ethanol extract obtained from the leaves of Rubus tereticaulis (RTME) against colitis, and to purify major compounds from this extract by bioassay-directed isolation. Rats with colitis induced via intra-rectal acetic acid administration (5%, v/v) received RTME or sulfasalazine for three consecutive days. On day four, all rats were decapitated, and the colonic tissue samples were collected for macroscopic score, colon weight, reduced glutathione (GSH), myeloperoxidase (MPO), and malondialdehyde (MDA) analyses. The active compounds and chemical composition of RTME were determined by bio-guided isolation and LC-MS/MS, respectively. Compared to the colitis group, the rats treated with RTME displayed significantly lowered macroscopic scores and colon wet weights (p < 0.001). These effects were confirmed biochemically by a decrease in colonic MPO activity (p < 0.001), MDA levels (p < 0.001), and an increase in GSH levels (p < 0.001). Kaempferol-3-O-β-d-glucuronide (RT1) and quercetin-3-O-β-d-glucuronide (RT2) were found to be the major compounds of RTME, as evidenced by in vitro anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity-guided isolation. Their anti-inflammatory/antioxidant activities were also predicted by docking simulations. Additionally, quinic acid, 5-caffeoylquinic acid, quercetin pentoside, quercetin glucoside, quercetin-3-O-β-d-glucuronide, kaempferol-3-O-β-d-glucuronide, and kaempferol rutinoside were identified in RTME via using LC-MS/MS. RT2, along with other compounds, may be responsible for the observed protective action of RTME against colitis. This study represents the first report on the beneficial effects of RTME in an experimental model of colitis and highlights the potential future use of RTME as a natural alternative to alleviate colitis.

    (2019-06-13) DOĞAN, AHMET; Aybeniz YILDIRIM;ALİ ŞEN;AHMET DOĞAN;LEYLA BİTİŞ
    In this study, various extracts obtained different parts of Tanacetumcilicicum were investigated for in vitro antioxidant and anti-inflammatoryactivity. Antioxidant activity was tested with three methods; namely 2.2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging capacity, 2.2′‐azinobis (3‐ethylbenzothiazolin‐6‐sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical cation scavengingcapacity, and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. Total phenolicand flavonoid contents of extracts were determined by Folin-Ciocalteu andaluminum chloride methods, respectively. Also, anti-inflammatory activity ofthese extracts was evaluated by 5-lipoxygenase inhibition assay. Ethyl acetateextract of capitula of T. cilicicum (TCCEA) showed the highest antioxidantactivity with IC50 values of 22.44 and 30.86 μg/mL against DPPH and ABTSradicals, respectively. At the same time, the highest ferric reducing power wasfound in the TCCEA (42.2 mg TE/g extract). The highest total phenolic contentshave been detected in TCCEA and ethyl acetate extract of leaves of T. cilicicum(TCLEA) with value of 174.1 and 175.6 mg GAE/g extract, respectively.Similarly, the highest total flavonoid contents have been detected in TCCEA andTCLEA with values of 26.94 and 30.48 mg QE/g extract, respectively. TCCEAexhibited strong anti-inflammatory activity with IC50 value of 9.44 μg/mL whencompared to standard indomethacine (22.39 μg/mL). These results demonstratethat TCCEA has a significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Also,the results show that TCCEA is a good candidate for further bioactivity-guidedfractionation in the search for new active anti-inflammatory and antioxidantcompounds.

    Flavonoids and biological activities of various extracts from Rosa sempervirens leaves
    (TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2017-03-04) ŞEN, ALİ; Bitis, Leyla; Sen, Ali; Ozsoy, Nurten; Birteksoz-Tan, Seher; Kultur, Sukran; Melikoglu, Gulay
    Rosa sempervirens L. (Rosaceae) growing wildly in Turkey is used in folk medicine for various indications. Here, we report the isolation of four flavonoids and determination of the total phenolic and flavonoid contents and the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of various extracts from R. sempervirens leaves. Antioxidant activity was determined by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS). The total phenolic and flavonoid contents were determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu and AlCl3 methods, respectively. The antimicrobial activity was evaluated by the broth microdilution method against seven microbial species. The ethyl acetate extract (E) had significant antioxidant activity with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of 3.96 in the DPPH and 2.92 mg/mL in the ABTS assay. The total phenolic (203.8 mg gallic acid equivalents/g extract) and total flavonoid (95.81 mg catechin equivalents/g extract) contents of the E extract were significantly higher as compared to other extracts. The E extract exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 39 mg/mL. Quercetin 3-xyloside, quercitrin and hyperoside were isolated from the E extract and quercetin, from the chloroform extract, and quercetin and hyperoside were identified for the first time in this species. Quercitrin was found to be a major compound in the E extract. Antimicrobial activity of R. sempervirens was also reported for the first time. These results indicate that the E extract has significant antioxidant and antimicrobial activity, probably due to flavonoids as well as other phenolic compounds in the E extract, acting individually or in combination.

    In vitro antiproliferative activity of Endemic Centaurea kilaea Boiss. against Human Tumor Cell Lines
    (AVES PRESS LTD, 2015) ŞEN, ALİ; Sen, Ali; Ozbas, Suna Turan; Akbuga, Julide; Bitis, Leyla
    Objective: In this study, it is aimed to determine the active extract on which substance isolation through bioactivity-guided method is to be performed in the future. Therefore, it is planned to reveal the extract exhibiting the highest antiproliferative activity by investigating the activities of heptane (CKH), chloroform (CKC), sub-fractions of active chloroform (CKCSI, CKCSII, CKCSIII) and methanol extracts (CKM) obtained from the aerial parts of Centaurea kilaea Boiss. (Asteraceae) on different cancerous cell lines. Method: Antiproliferative activity was measured against three human cancer cell lines (Hela; cervix adenocarcinoma, MCF-7; breast adenocarcinoma, PC-3; prostate adenocarcinoma) using MTT assay. Results: CKC exhibited the greatest antiproliferative activity with IC50 of 53.07; 68.64 mu g/ml against Hela and MCF-7 cells, respectively, while CKC and CKM showed the highest antitumor activity against PC-3 cell (73.92; 70.11 mu g/ml, respectively). Also, a sub-fraction II of active chloroform extract (CKCSII) demonstrated moderate antiproliferative activity with IC50 values of 60.75 and 60.70 mu g/ml against Hela and MCF-7 cells, respectively. Conclusion: The results show that CKC and CKCSII are good candidates for further bioactivity-guided fractionation in the search for new active antitumor compounds. Also, these findings confirm other results that have been reported in the literature relating to antiproliferative activities of different Centaurea species. Furthermore, active extracts would be tested on different tumor cell lines.
