Article Synthesis, Molecular Modeling, Anti-Cancer and COX-1/2 Inhibitory Activities of Novel Thiazolidinones Containing Benzothiazole Core(Bangladesh Pharmacological Society, 2024) Kulabas, Necla; Guven, Cansu Tamniku; Duracık, Merve; Bingol Ozakpinar, Ozlem; Küçükgüzel, İlkay; Ozakpinar, Ozlem BingolIn this study, new 1,3-thiazolidin-4-one derivatives containing arylmethylene groups in the 5-position were obtained from 6-(trifluoromethoxy)-1,3-benzo-thiazol-2-amine (riluzole). Synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral data and elemental analysis. In vitro, cytotoxic activities of the synthesized molecules were evaluated against the human lung cancer (A549) and human prostate cancer (PC-3) cell lines. Compounds were also tested on mouse embryonic fibroblast cells (NIH/3T3) to determine selectivity. Ten target compounds 3-12 were also screened for their COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitory activities. Of these compounds, 4 showed the highest COX-2 inhibition at 10 μM. Molecular docking calculations were performed to understand the binding interactions of compounds with COX-1 and COX-2 proteins. In silico studies of the tested compounds represented important binding modes that may be responsible for their anti-cancer activity via selective inhibition of the COX-2 enzyme. ADMET predictions were conducted to assess the drug-like properties of the novel compounds. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of New 4-Thiazolidinone Derivatives of Flurbiprofen(Acg Publications, 2023) Suzgun, Pelin; Senkardes, Sevil; Gurboga, Merve; Ozakpinar, Ozlem Bingol; Kucukguzel, S. GunizIn this study, the synthesis and characterization of 2-(2-fluorobiphenyl-4-yl)-N '-[(substituted methylene]propanehydrazides (3a-s) and 2-(2-fluoro-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-N-(5-methyl-2-(substituted aryl)-4oxothiazolidin-3-yl)propanamides (4a-s) are described and also the antiproliferative effect of the compounds on HT 29, HeLa, A549 and MCF-7 cancer cell lines is investigated. Additionally, mouse embryonic fibroblast cells NIH3T3 were also evaluated to determine the selectivity. The results showed that the identified compounds did not cause any toxicity against NIH3T3 cell line. Moreover, N-(2-(3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-5-methyl-4-oxothiazolidin-3-yl)-2-(2-fluoro-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)propanamide (4h) had the most growth inhibitory effect (55.97% inhibition) on HT-29 colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line. The results obtained from the study show that the compound 4h, which has no cytotoxic effect on normal cells, may be an alternative in the treatment of colon cancer.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 21Exercise Improves Testicular Morphology and Oxidative Stress Parameters in Rats With Testicular Damage Induced by a High-Fat Diet(Wiley, 2022) Elmas, Merve Acikel; Ozakpinar, Ozlem Bingol; Kolgazi, Meltem; Sener, Goksel; Arbak, Serap; Ercan, FerihaObesity and male infertility are problems that affect population. Exercise is a nonpharmacological way to reduce the negative health effects of obesity. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of exercise on hormone levels, blood-testis barrier, and inflammatory and oxidative biomarkers in rats that became obese due to a high-fat diet (HFD). Male rats received a standard diet (STD group) or a HFD (HFD group) for 18 weeks. During the final 6 weeks of the experiment, swimming exercises (1 h/5 days/week) were given to half of these animals (STD + EXC and HFD + EXC groups). Finally, blood and testicular tissues were analysed by biochemical and histological methods. Body weight, leptin, malondialdehyde, interleukin-6, TNF-alpha and myeloperoxidase levels, apoptotic cells and DNA fragmentation were increased, and testis weight, insulin, FSH, LH, testosterone, glutathione and superoxide dysmutase levels, proliferative cells, ZO-1, occludin, and gap junction protein Cx43 immunoreactivity were decreased in the HFD group. All these hormonal, morphological, oxidative and inflammatory biomarkers were enhanced in the HFD + EXC group. It is thought that exercise protected testicular cytotoxicity by regulating hormonal and oxidant/antioxidant balances and testicular function, inhibiting inflammation and apoptosis, as well as preserving blood-testis barrier.Article Citation - WoS: 41Citation - Scopus: 39Synthesis and Anticancer Activity of Novel Hydrazone Linkage-Based Aryl Sulfonate Derivatives as Apoptosis Inducers(Springer Birkhauser, 2022) Senkardes, Sevil; Han, M. Ihsan; Gurboga, Merve; Ozakpinar, Ozlem Bingol; Kucukguzel, S. Guniz; Güniz Küçükgüzel, Ş.; İhsan Han, M.In the present study, the various 28 hybrid molecules containing hydrazone and sulfonate moieties were synthesized and characterized by FTIR, H-1-NMR, C-13-NMR spectroscopy and LC-MS spectrometry, besides elemental analysis. The compounds were evaluated for their antiproliferative effects against six cancer cell lines, namely A549 (non-small cell lung cancer), MCF-7 (breast cancer), HT-29 (colorectal adenocarcinoma cancer), PC-3 (androgen-independent prostate adenocarcinoma), Hep3B (hepatocellular carcinoma cancer), and HeLa (epitheloid cervix carcinoma cancer). Among all the target compounds, compounds 4g and 4h exhibited more promising effects on MCF-7 cell lines (IC50 = 17.8 mu M and 21.2 mu M, respectively) with high selectivity. Further mechanistic studies proposed that compounds 4g and 4h induced apoptosis is mediated through the intrinsic apoptotic pathway with changes in mitochondrial membrane potential by finally activating caspase-9 and caspase-3. The results have been encouraging enough to merit further investigation. [GRAPHICS] .
