Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Biological Activities of Etodolac-Based Hydrazone, Thiazolidinone and Triazole Derivatives on Breast Cancer Cell Lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB(Wiley, 2025) Sevinc, Sevgi Kocyigit; Cikla-Suzgun, Pelin; Tiber, Pinar Mega; Kucukguzel, S. Guniz; Orun, Oya; Güniz Küçükgüzel, Ş.In this study, several etodolac-based hydrazone, thiazolidinone, and triazole derivatives that we synthesized and characterized in our earlier research were tested against the hormone-responsive breast cell line MCF-7 and the triple-negative MDA-MB-231, as well as the murine origin fibroblast cell line L-929, at varying doses for their effects on cell viability and toxicity and for their inhibitory activity on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)/prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) formation. Cell viability and apoptosis tests were utilized to assess the anti-cancer potential of etodolac and its derivatives after the cells were exposed to varied concentrations of synthesized compounds for three different time periods. ELISA and Western blot methods were used to detect protein levels. All synthesized compounds demonstrated higher anti-cancer activity at significantly lower doses compared to etodolac (half-maximal inhibitory concentration [IC50] of 0-50 mu M range in derivatives versus 0.5-1 mM range in etodolac). Except for SGK 242, which had a major toxic effect on all cells, the chemicals SGK 206 and SGK 217 had a twice-less impact on control murine L-929 fibroblasts. Similar to proliferation, low concentrations of SGK 206 and SGK 217 (25-50 mu M) significantly induced apoptosis in breast cancer cells but not in normal cells. Additionally, they inhibited COX-2 protein expression at 50 mu M, and SGK 206 inhibited PGE2 release more effectively than etodolac in cancer cells. The results of this study suggest that, in comparison to a healthy control group, the thiazolidinone derivative SGK 206 and the thiazolidinone derivative SGK 217 are more effective than etodolac when it comes to the breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. SGK 206 exhibits a low IC50 value, a distinct dose-response relationship, and strong apoptotic effects, particularly on MDA-MB-231 cells.Article Citation - Scopus: 3Therapeutic Effects of Momordica Charantia L. Ethanolic Extract on Acetic Acid-Induced Ulcerative Colitis in Rats(Istanbul University Press, 2021) Ozbeyli, D.; Sen, A.; Aykac, A.; Terali, K.; Cilingir-Kaya, O.T.; Senkardes, I.; Sener, G.Objective: This study aims to investigate the effect of Momordica charantia L. (MoC) ethanolic extract on ulcerative colitis (UC) and was explored in vitro and in vivo. Materials and Methods: The rats were divided into control (C), saline-treated colitis (AA), MoC extract-treated colitis (AA+MoC), and sulfasalazine (SS)-treated colitis (AA+SS) groups. Colitis was induced by acetic acid. MoC extract, SS or saline were given to the related groups for 3 days. Interleukine-1β, malondialdehyde, glutathione levels, myeloperoxidase activity, bax/bcl-2 ratio, caspase-9 and caspase-3 levels were measured in colon and macroscopic and histopathologic examinations were done. Total phenolic/flavonoid content and biological activity of MoC were evaluated by in vitro analysis. Results: Compared to the control group, with acetic acid application interleukin-1β levels, myeloperoxidase activity, malondialdehyde levels, bax/bcl-2 ratio, caspase-9 and caspase-3 levels were significantly upregulated, while glutathione levels were significantly decreased in the AA group. In contrast, MoC and SS treatments reduced interleukin-1β, malondialdehyde levels, myeloperoxidase activity, bax/bcl-2 ratio, and caspase-9 and caspase-3 levels. Glutathione levels increased upon MoC or SS treatment. Increased macroscopic and microscopic scoring with AA improved with MoC or SS treatment, but the MoC or SS treated groups had higher score values than the control. Also, in vitro results showed that MoC exhibited 2,2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid radical scavenging activity as well as significant antilipoxygenase activity. In addition, MoC extract showed a potent anti-inflammatory activity compared to standard indomethacin. Conclusion: Our biochemical, in vitro and histopathologic analysis indicate that MoC is likely to prove beneficial in UC therapy. © 2021 European Journal of Biology.

Guniz; Tiber, Pinar Mega(R,S)-Etodolac [1,8-diethyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydrapyrano(3,4-b)indole-1-acetic acid] is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that contains carboxylic acid group with the structure of pyrano[3,4-h]indole. In this study, a series of novel (R,S)-Etodolac derivatives (3a-1) bearing hydrazide-hydrazone moiety were synthesized. The structures of these compounds were characterized by spectral (H-1-NMR and FT-IR analyses) methods. All synthesized compounds were screened for anticancer activity against androgen-independent prostate adenocarcinoma (PC-3, DU-145) and androgen-dependent prostate adenocarcinoma (LNCaP) cell lines by using WST-8 colorimetric method. This method was used for cell viability and cytotoxicity analysis. Compound 3b (SGK-720) [2-(1,8-diethyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole-1-yl)acetic acid[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)methylene]hydrazides] showed 10.36, 5.24, 15.53 mu M anticancer activity against PC3, DU145, LNCaP cancer cell lines, respectively. According to JC-1 mitochondrial membrane potential test and Annexin V/PI staining, 3b was found to have apoptotic effect on these cancer cells. It is concluded that compound 3b containing 2,6-dichloro substituents may be one of the candidate molecules to cope with prostate cancer.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 9A Multi-Parameter Evaluation of the Neuroprotective and Cognitive-Enhancing Effects of <i>origanum Onites</I> L. (turkish Oregano) Essential Oil on Scopolamine-Induced Amnestic Rats(Springer/plenum Publishers, 2022) Aykac, Asli; Terali, Kerem; Ozbeyli, Dilek; Ede, Seren; Albayrak, Omercan; Baser, Kemal Husnu Can; Sener, GokselAlzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive deterioration of cognitive functions (dementia) and represents a growing public health concern since the population in the age groups at risk is increasing. The latter raises an urgent need to translate research findings in the basic brain and behavioral sciences into anti-AD drugs and disease-modifying therapies. Origanum onites (L.), also called Turkish oregano, is a perennial and herbaceous plant species grown for centuries for medicinal, cosmetic and culinary purposes. This is the first study to investigate the putative neuroprotective and pro-cognitive activities of O. onites essential oil (OOEO) against scopolamine-induced amnesia of AD-type in Wistar albino rats. The results of behavioral tests revealed that OOEO administration was able to significantly alleviate learning and memory impairments induced by scopolamine in vivo. The observed effects could be attributed to inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity, attenuation of oxidative stress and prevention of neuronal apoptosis in the hippocampus and frontal cortex of AD rats. Modulation of pro-inflammatory enzymes, including cyclooxygenase-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase and myeloperoxidase, might further contribute to the neuroprotective properties of OEOO, as predicted by our in silico models. These findings offer novel insights into the therapeutic potential of OEOO in patients with AD.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] .
