Öğe 1-Alkyl-1H-Benzimidazolium Sulfonates as Non-Competitive Inhibitors of Polyphenol Oxidase(Wiley, 2026) Ergun, Adem; Cikrikci, Kubra; Gencer, Nahit; Arslan, Oktay; Uslu, Harun; Goktas, Bunyamin; Karatas, Mert OlgunPolyphenol oxidase (PPO) has been the subject of many inhibition studies due to its presence in many species, causing enzymatic browning in fruits and vegetables, and its pigmentation role in mammalian species. In the present study, the inhibitory properties of twelve 1-alkyl-1H-benzimidazolium sulfonates and two 1-alkyl-1H-benzimidazolium iodides on PPO activity have been investigated. The PPO enzyme was purified from banana using Sepharose 4B-tyrosine-p-aminobenzoic acid affinity gel chromatography. The effects of 14 different synthesized benzimidazole derivatives on the PPO enzyme were investigated, and they were found to significantly inhibit the enzyme in question. When ADME predictions were examined, it was seen that all compounds that include methylbenzenesulfonate structure showed good pharmacokinetic properties; only compounds 3a and 3b, which contain iodide, violated the Ghose rules. These compounds, which were effective at low concentrations, may serve as promising lead molecules for the development of PPO inhibitors with potential applications in food preservation, cosmetic formulations, and pharmaceutical research, pending further in vivo and formulation-based studies.Öğe Conventional and microwave prompted synthesis of aryl(alkyl)azole oximes, 1H-NMR spectroscopic determination of E/Z isomer ratio and HOMO-LUMO analysis(Elsevier, 2022) Bozbey, Irem; Uslu, Harun; Turkmenoglu, Burcin; Ozdemir, Zeynep; Karakurt, Arzu; Levent, SerkanIn this study, 12 oxime derivatives were synthesized by using with conventional method and microwave irradiation method. It was aimed to compare the effectiveness of the conventional method and microwave method. Their yields were determined for both methods, and the yields increased when the microwave method was used. The compounds which have oxime show geometric isomerism because they have carbon-nitrogen double bonds. Therefore, we have also aimed to evaluate their E/Z isomer ratios in this study. While the synthesized pyrazole derivative compounds were mostly obtained in Z isomer in both synthesis methods, it was observed that some of the title compounds were almost completely obtained as E isomers when the conventional synthesis method was used in the synthesized imidazole derivative compounds. The structures of synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR, H-1-NMR, C-13-NMR and HRMS spectra. Additionally, in this study, the HOMO-LUMO energies and thermodynamic properties of the E/Z isomers of 12 oxime derivatives were performed using the 6-31 * G basis set and the Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculation using the B3LYP method three different environments (water, ethanol, vacuum). In addition, geometric parameters such as chemical hardness (eta), chemical potential (mu), electrophilicity index (omega), chemical softness (sigma) were calculated depending on the calculated HOMO-LUMO energies.

The treatment of 4 and 5 afforded the corresponding hydrazides (6 and 7). These hydrazides were converted to the corresponding carbo(thio) amides (9a-f and 10a-e) which were then subjected to an intramolecular cyclisation leading to the formation of quinolone-triazole hybrids (11a-f and 12a-e). The newly synthesized compounds were screened for their biological activities such as antioxidant capacity (AC) and acetylcholinesterase Activity. Inhibition of cholinesterases is an effective method to curb Alzheimer's disease, a progressive and fatal neurological disorder. A series of some novel quinolone derivatives were designed, synthesized, and their inhibitory effects on AChE were evaluated. We obtained our compounds and determined their anticholinesterase activities according to the Ellman's method. 9b and 10c showed the best AChE inhibition with 0.48 +/- 0.02 and 0.52 +/- 0.07, respectively. Docking studies were performed for the most active compounds (9b, 10c) and interaction modes with enzyme active sites were determined. As a result of these studies, a strong interaction between these compounds and the active sites of AChE enzyme was revealed. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc.

Since hCA inhibition is one of the underlying mechanisms that account for the activities of some antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), hCA inhibitors are expected to have antiseizure properties. There are also several studies reporting compounds with an imidazole and/or benzimidazole moiety which exert these pharmacological properties. In this study, we prepared fifteen novel coumarin-bearing imidazolium and benzimidazolium chloride, nine novel benzoxazinone-bearing imidazolium and benzimidazolium chloride derivatives and evaluated their hCA inhibitory activities and along with fourteen previously synthesized derivatives we scanned their anticonvulsant effects. As all compounds inhibited purified hCA isoforms I and II, some of them also proved protective against Maximal electroshock seizure (MES) and ScMet induced seizures in mice. Molecular docking studies with selected coumarin derivatives have revealed that these compounds bind to the active pocket of the enzyme in a similar fashion to that previously described for coumarin derivatives.Öğe Coumarin or benzoxazinone based novel carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: synthesis, molecular docking and anticonvulsant studies(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016) Karatas, Mert Olgun; Uslu, Harun; Sari, Suat; Alagoz, Mehmet Abdullah; Karakurt, Arzu; Alici, Bulent; Bilen, CigdemAmong many others, coumarin derivatives are known to show human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) inhibitory activity.

Betul; Calis, Unsal; Dalkara, Sevim(Arylalkyl)azoles (AAAs) emerged as a novel class of antiepileptic agents with the invention of nafimidone and denzimol. Several AAA derivatives with potent anticonvulsant activities have been reported so far, however neurotoxicity was usually an issue. We prepared a set of ester derivatives of 1-(2-naphthyl)2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yeethanone oxime and evaluated their anticonvulsant and neurotoxic effects in mice. Most of our compounds were protective against maximal electroshock (MES)- and/or subcutaneous metrazol (s.c. MET)-induced seizures whereas none of them showed neurotoxicity. Nafimidone and denzimol have an activity profile similar to that of phenytoin or carbamazepine, both of which are known to inhibit voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) as well as to enhance gamma-aminobutiric acid (GABA)-mediated response. In order to get insights into the effects of our compounds on VGSCs and A type GABA receptors (GABA(A)Rs) we performed docking studies using homology model of Na+ channel inner pore and GABA(A)R as docking scaffolds. We found that our compounds bind VGSCs in similar ways as phenytoin, carbamazepine, and lamotrigine. They showed strong affinity to benzodiazepine (BZD) binding site and their binding interactions were mainly complied with the experimental data and the reported BZD binding model.

Although antimicrobial studies have been conducted with several species of the Iris genus, this study is the first in the literature to be performed with Iris persica L. subsp. persica aqueous and methanol extracts. In this study, the phenolic content of I. persica was determined by LC-MS/MS analysis, the in vitro antimicrobial activity of I. persica aqueous and methanol extracts was examined, and this study was supported by in silico analysis. Consequently, methanol and aqueous extracts were observed to have inhibitory effects against all tested microorganisms except Candida krusei. Although the MIC values of aqueous extract and methanol extract against Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae are the same (22.5 and 11.25 mg/mL, respectively), the inhibitory effect of aqueous extract is generally more potent (MIC value is 11.25 mg/mL for Candida parapsilosis and other bacterial species, and 90 mg/mL for Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis) than that of methanol extract. In silico results showed that hydroxybenzaldeyde, vanillin, resveratrol, isoquercitrin, kaempferol-3-glucoside, fisetin, and luteolin were more prone to antifungal activity. Hence, shikimic, gallic, protocatechuic, vanillic, caffeic, o-coumaric, trans-ferulic, sinapic acids, and hesperidin were more prone to antibacterial activity. In vitro and in silico results show that the antibacterial activity of our extracts may be higher than the antifungal activity. This preliminary study indicates the anti-infective potential of I. persica extracts and their usability in medicine and pharmacology.Öğe A Series of New Hydrazone Derivatives: Synthesis, Molecular Docking and Anticholinesterase Activity Studies(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, 2020) Bozbey, Irem; Ozdemir, Zeynep; Uslu, Harun; Ozcelik, Azime Berna; Senol, Fatma Sezer; Orhan, Ilkay Erdogan; Uysal, MchtapBackground: Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) are known to be serine hydrolase enzymes responsible for the hydrolysis of acetylcholine (ACh), which is a significant neurotransmitter for regulation of cognition in animals. Inhibition of cholinesterases is an effective method to curb Alzheimer's disease, a progressive and fatal neurological disorder. Objective: In this study, 30 new hydrazone derivatives were synthesized. Then we evaluated their anticholinesterase activity of compounds. We also tried to get insights into binding interactions of the synthesized compounds in the active site of both enzymes by using molecular docking approach. Methods: The compounds were synthesized by the reaction of various substituted/nonsubstituted benzaldehydes with 6-(substitute/nonsubstituephenyl)-3(2H)-pyridazinone-2-yl propiyohydrazide. Anticholinesterase activity of the compounds was determined using Ellman's method. Molecular docking studies were done by using the ADT package version 1.5.6rc3 and showed by Maestro. RMSD values were obtained using Lamarckian Genetic Algorithm and scoring function of AutoDock 4.2 release 4.2.5.1 software. Results: The activities of the compounds were compared with galantamine as cholinesterase enzyme inhibitor, where some of the compounds showed higher BChE inhibitory activity than galantamine. Compound F1(11) was shown to be the best BChE inhibitor effective in 50 mu M dose, providing 89.43% inhibition of BChE (IC50=4.27 +/- 0.36 mu M). Conclusion: This study supports that novel hydrazone derivates may be used for the development of new BChE inhibitory agents.Öğe Shedding Light on the Phytochemical and Biological Fingerprints of Fibigia clypeata (L.) Medik Essential Oil as a Pharmacotherapeutic Agent(Wiley, 2025) Unver, Tuba; Bingul, Murat; Uslu, Harun; Gurhan, Ismet; Goktas, Bunyamin; Sahin, Hasan; Boga, MehmetSince plant essential oil contains medicinally valuable compounds, its usability as a pharmacotherapeutic agent has been the focus of attention within the century's needs. The lack of sufficient studies on the medical and pharmacological evaluation of Fibigia clypeata (L.) Medik has made this plant the target of our study. This study analyzes the phytochemical composition and biological activity of F. clypeata essential oil. As a result, dimethyl disulfide and dimethyl trisulfide were found to be the main compounds of the plant essential oil, with rates of 73.13% and 19.87%, respectively. The antifungal property of plant essential oil is more effective than its antibacterial property, with MIC values ranging between 0.039 and 0.312 mu L/mL for fungal species and up to 3.750 mu L/mL for bacterial species. The enzyme inhibition profiles were investigated towards two enzymes, namely, anticholinesterase and alpha-glucosidase, targeted for anti-diabetic studies. Anticholinesterase activity was proved with the IC50 values of 17.31 and 4.78 mu g/mL for Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzymes, respectively. DPPH and CUPRAC activities were the most promising antioxidant studies, with values of 1.54 and 3.72 mu g/mL. It was observed that alpha-Terpineol made a hydrogen bond with ASN80, and 1-(2,6,6-Trimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadien-1-yl)ethanol made a hydrogen bond with SER82. Although molecular dock scores were better for antifungal activity, it was determined that no interactions, such as hydrogen bonding or pi interaction, were observed. This preliminary study showed that F. clypeata essential oil is a natural source with promising in vitro antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticholinesterase activities that warrants further investigation, including safety assessments, due to the high concentration of sulfur-containing compounds. Molecular docking and ADME prediction results showed that alpha-Terpineol and 1-(2,6,6-Trimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadien-1-yl)ethanol were more prone to antimicrobial activity.Öğe Some coumarins and benzoxazinones as potent paraoxonase 1 inhibitors(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016) Karatas, Mert Olgun; Uslu, Harun; Alici, Bulent; Gokce, Basak; Gencer, Nahit; Arslan, OktayIn this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of some coumarin and benzoxazinone derivatives on the activity of human PON1.
