    Synthesis, Antimicrobial Evaluation and Molecular Modeling Studies of Novel Thiosemicarbazides/Semicarbazides Derived From <i>p</I>-aminobenzoic Acid
    (Elsevier, 2022) Han, M. Ihsan; Ince, Ufuk; Gunduz, Miyase Gozde; Coskun, G. Pelin; Birgul, Kaan; Dogan, Senguel Dilem; Kucukguzel, S. Guniz; İhsan Han, M.
    The development of novel antimicrobial agents is critical to combat life-threatening drug-resistant bacterial and fungal pathogens. In the present study, a new series of p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) derivatives carrying thiosemicarbazide/semicarbazide moiety were designed, synthesized, and studied for their antimicrobial activity. The target molecules (3a-f, 4a-f) were achieved by the reaction of 4aminobenzohydrazide, obtained from PABA, and various phenyl isothiocyanates/isocyanates. Following structural characterization by spectroscopic methods (H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, FT-IR, and LC-MS analyses), the synthesized compounds were tested for their antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, and their clinical isolates. Thiosemicarbazides with lipophilic substituents on the phenyl ring were identified as the most active compounds in this series. Among the studied molecules, compound 3e, thiosemicarbazide derivative with trifluoromethyl groups on the phenyl moiety, showed the best antimicrobial activity. Physicochemical parameters of the compounds were computed to predict the drug-likeness of the title compounds. Finally, molecular docking studies were performed in the allosteric binding pocket of ?-alanine: ?-alanine ligase (Ddl) to explain the potential antibacterial activity mechanism of 3e against S. aureus strains .

    Synthesis 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] .
