Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 9Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Aryloxyacetic Acid Hydrazide Derivatives as Anticancer Agents(Taylor & Francis inc, 2021) Senkardes, Sevil; Erdogan, Omer; Cevik, Ozge; Kucukguzel, S. Guniz; Eczacılık Meslek Bilimleri BölümüIn our continuing search for new anticancer agents, herein we report the synthesis of 2-(4-chloro-3-methylphenoxy)-N'-[(aryl)methylidene]acetohydrazides 3a-j and the evaluation of their anticancer activities on cell viability, morphological changes and caspase-3 activity in cancer cell lines including gastric cancer (MKN45), cervical cancer (HeLa) and breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) cells. 2-(4-chloro-3-methylphenoxy)-N'-[(4-phenylthiophen-2-yl)methylidene] acetohydrazide 3g presented the strongest growth inhibition against MKN45 gastric cancer cell lines with the IC50 value of 1.471 +/- 0.23 mu M. Moreover, compounds 3b and 3g showed high potency against the HeLa and MDA-MB-231 cell lines having IC50 in the range of 2.38-9.72 mu M. These compounds are more selective for the tested human cancer cells than for the mouse fibroblast cell line (NIH/3T3). As a result of the studies conducted in order to understand the molecular mechanism, compounds 3b and 3g enhanced expression of the caspase-3 pro-apoptotic proteins levels besides caspase-3 gene.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Synthesis, Molecular Docking Studies and Adme Prediction of Some New Albendazole Derivatives as Α-Glucosidase Inhibitors(Slovensko Kemijsko Drustvo, 2022) Senkardes, Sevil; Kulabas, Necla; Kucukguzel, S. Guniz; Eczacılık Meslek Bilimleri BölümüA series of novel 2-(substituted arylidene)-N-(5-(propylthio)-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)hydrazine-1-carboxamide derivatives 3a-i were synthesized via condensation of N-(5-(propylthio)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl) hydrazinecarboxamide (2), with the corresponding ketone or aldehydes. The chemical structures of the compounds prepared were confirmed by analytical and spectral data. The compounds were screened for their a-glucosidase inhibitory activity and all of them showed better inhibition than acarbose, except 3h. In particular, compound 3a proved to be the most active compound among all synthetic derivatives having IC50 value 12.88 +/- 0.98 mu M. Also, molecular docking studies were carried out for the compounds to figure out the binding interactions. Compound 3a has exhibited the highest binding energy (Delta G = -9.4 kcal/mol) and the most hydrogen bond interactions with active sites. Eventually, in silico studies were in good agreement with in vitro studies.Review Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 9Thioethers: an Overview(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, 2022) Han, M. Ihsan; Kucukguzel, S. Guniz; Eczacılık Meslek Bilimleri BölümüSpreading rapidly in recent years, cancer has become one of the causes of the highest mortality rates after cardiovascular diseases. The reason for cancer development is still not clearly understood despite enormous research activities in this area. Scientists are now working on the biology of cancer, especially on the root cause of cancer development. The aim is to treat the cancer disease and thus cure the patients. The continuing efforts for the development of novel molecules as potential anti-cancer agents are essential for this purpose. The main aim of this review was to present a survey on the medicinal chemistry of thioethers and provide practical data on their cytotoxicities against various cancer cell lines. The research articles published between 2001-2020 were consulted to prepare this review article; however, patent literature has not been included. The thioether-containing heterocyclic compounds may emerge as a new class of potent and effective anti-cancer agents in the future.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 18Design, Synthesis and Anticancer Activity Studies of Novel 4-Butylaminophenyl Hydrazide-Hydrazones as Apoptotic Inducers(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2022) Han, M. Ihsan; Baysal, Ozge Deniz Yesil; Basaran, Guzide Satir; Sezer, Gulay; Telci, Dilek; Kucukguzel, S. Guniz; Eczacılık Meslek Bilimleri BölümüIn this study, a series of the novel Tetracaine derivatives bearing hydrazide-hydrazone moiety were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for anticancer activity. The structures of these compounds were characterized by spectral (H-1-C-13 NMR, FT-IR, and HR-MS analyses) methods. All synthesized compounds (2a-1) were screened for anticancer activity against human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) and lung carcinoma (A549) cell lines. Against HepG2 and A549 cell lines, among the synthesized compounds, 4-(Butylamino)-N'-[(2,4-dichlorophenyl)methylidene]benzohydrazide (2i) demonstrated the most potent anticancer activity with IC50 values 28 and 7 mu M, respectively. Possible cytotoxic effects of compounds (2a-1) on both normal human lung fibroblast (MCR-5) and normal human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cell lines were assessed. Inhibition of anti-apoptotic protein Bax and Bcl-2 was investigated in HepG2 and A549 cells treated with compound 2i using qRT-PCR. Apoptosis was also detected by Annexin V studies. The flow cytometric analysis results showed that compound 2i treatment of HepG2 and A549 cells significantly increased apoptotic cell populations while decreasing viabilities in these carcinomas in a dose-dependent manner after 72 h of incubation.

Ihsan; Ince, Ufuk; Coskun, G. Pelin; Birgul, Kaan; Dogan, Sengul Dilem; Ashoorzadeh, Amir; Kucukguzel, S. Gueniz; Eczacılık Meslek Bilimleri BölümüOne of the most serious threats to human health is the increasing prevalence of drug-resistant pathogens. The development of new antibiotics capable of combating drug resistance is critical. In various bacteria and plant species, 4-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) is produced and used as a substrate for folate generation. In this study, a new series of PABA analogs were synthesized and evaluated for their antimicrobial activity. Thirteen novel compounds were prepared by linking PABA hydrazide to sulfonate esters via a hydrazone bridge (4a-m). The structures of these compounds were characterized by H-1 and C-13 NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy as well as by LC-MS. Following structural characterization, all compounds were tested for their antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29213), Enterococcus faecium (ATCC 19434), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853), and Candida albicans (ATCC 10231) strains. Four compounds were found to have moderate antimicrobial activity against the P. aeruginosa strain. These compounds, including 4e, 4f, 4g, and 4m, containing a hydrazide-hydrazone sulfonate functionality, showed the best MIC value of 64 mu g/mL. In addition, synergistic effects of ascorbic acid, salicylic acid, and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) with synthesized compounds were also investigated. It was observed that the combination of compounds 4f and 4g with NAC showed antipseudomonal activity with MIC values of 32 mu g/mL and 16 mu g/mL, respectively, against the P. aeuriginosa strain. The antimicrobial activity of 4f and 4g was enhanced by two folds in combination with NAC. Our findings in this study can be crucial for the development of new potent antimicrobial agents.

Guniz; Eczacılık Meslek Bilimleri Bölümü(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: 6Effect of Flurbiprofen Derivative (sgk597) on Cell Proliferation and Apoptosis of Breast Cancer Cell Lines(Istanbul Univ, Fac Pharmacy, 2022) Atlihan, Irem; Sevinc, Sevgi Kocyigit; Orun, Oya; Yilmaz, Ozgur; Kucukguzel, S. Guniz; Tiber, Pinar Mega; Eczacılık Meslek Bilimleri BölümüBackground and Aims: The incidence of breast cancer is increasing day by day, especially in women. The search for new drugs against breast cancer is the focus of attention in research. Breast cancer and prostate cancer have remarkable biological similarities. Therefore, the 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(1-(2-fluoro-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)ethyl)-5-((4-fluorobenzyl)thio)-4H-1,2,4-triazole (SGK597) compound that is suppressing cell proliferation in prostate cancer, was studied in MCF-7 breast can-cer and MCF-10A mammary epithelial cell lines. Methods: The WST-8 method was used to determine cell viability and cytotoxicity of SGK597 in MCF-7 and MCF10-A cell lines. The JC-1 test was applied to determine changes in mitochondrial membrane potential. The protein expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2, and c-PARP associated with apoptosis were determined using Western blot analysis.Results: After 24 and 48 hours of incubation of SGK597, the IC50 values were 28.74 pM and 17.28 pM for MCF-7; 65.9 pM and 50.5 pM for MCF-10A, respectively. Mitochondrial membrane potential showed a tendency toward depolarization in MCF-7 cells as a result of increasing concentration of SGK597, while the same tendency was not seen for MCF-10A. As a result of western blot experiments, no increase in the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and c-PARP expression level was observed, indicating no apoptosis.Conclusion: It was observed that the compound SGK597 suppressed MCF-7 cell proliferation. These results indicate that SGK597 may be a candidate compound for use as an anticancer agent.

Ihsan; Ince, Ufuk; Gunduz, Miyase Gozde; Kucckguzel, S. Guniz; Eczacılık Meslek Bilimleri BölümüThe discovery of new antimicrobial molecules is crucial for combating drug-resistant bacterial and fungal infections that pose a dangerous threat to human health. In the current research, we applied a molecular hybridization approach to synthesize original thiosemicarbazide-triazole derivatives starting from (S)-naproxen (7a-7k). After structural characterization using FT-IR, H-1-NMR, C-13-NMR, and HR-MS, the obtained compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Candida albicans ATCC 10231 and their isolates, as well. Although all compounds were found to be moderate antimicrobial agents, in general, their antibacterial activities were better than antifungal effects. Among the tested compounds, 7j carrying nitrophenyl group on the thiosemicarbazide functionality represented the best MIC value against S. aureus isolate. Finally, molecular docking studies were performed in the active pocket of S. aureus flavohemoglobin to rationalize the obtained biological data.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Synthesis and Molecular Modeling of Metap2 of Thiosemicarbazides, 1,2,4-Triazoles, Thioethers Derived From (s)-Naproxen as Possible Breast Cancer Agents(Elsevier, 2022) Birgul, Kaan; Uba, Abdullah Ibrahim; Cuhadar, Ozan; Sevinc, Sevgi Kocyigit; Tiryaki, Selen; Tiber, Pinar Mega; Kucukguzel, S. Guniz; Eczacılık Meslek Bilimleri BölümüNew thiosemicarbazides (3, 5-6), 1,2,4-triazoles (14-15) and thioethers (22-68) from derived (S)-Naproxen were synthesized in this study. The structure of these compounds were elucidated by spectral (FT-IR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR) methods, besides elemental analysis and TLC. The molecular binding of the compounds on MetAP-2 was performed. Anticancer effects of the synthesized compounds were studied by using MTT assay method on MCF-7 (includes oestrogene and progesterone receptors) and MDA-MB-231 (lacks estrogen and progesterone receptors) adenocarcinoma cell lines at 0, 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mu M concentrations for 24 h. The IC(50 )values of novel (S)-Naproxen derivatives were determined between from 5 to 100 mu M on MCF-7 breast cancer cell line and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. The apoptotic activity of selected compounds 22 and 42 were first analyzed by Annexin V staining using Tali Image-Based Cytometer. Mitochondrial membrane potential changes determined in fluorescence plate reader following JC-1 stain for compounds 22 and 42 in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. The effect of these compounds on the cell viability 4T1 mouse mammary tumor cell line was tested at 1 to 5 times of calculated IC50 value (IC(50)x1, IC(50)x2, IC(50)x3, IC(50)x4, and IC(50)x5). Next in order to determine the toxicity of the combination of compound 51 and Docetaxel, WST-1 cell viability and proliferation assay was performed with 4T1. (C) 2022 Elsevier B.V.

Guniz; Eczacılık Meslek Bilimleri BölümüBy exploiting the wide biological potential of the hydrazone scaffold, a series of hydrazone derivatives were synthesized, starting from N-(3-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide (metacetamol). The structures of the compounds were determined using IR, H-1 and C-13-NMR, and mass spectroscopic methods. The obtained molecules (3 a-j) were evaluated for their anticancer potential against MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines. According to the CCK-8 assay, all tested compounds showed moderate to potent anticancer activity. Among them, N-(3-(2-(2-(4-nitrobenzylidene)hydrazinyl)-2-oxoethoxy)phenyl)acetamide (3 e) was found to be the most effective derivative with an IC50 value of 9.89 & mu;M against MDA-MB-231 cell lines. This compound was further tested for its potential effects on the apoptotic pathway. Molecular docking studies was also carried out for 3 e in the colchicine binding pocket of tubulin. Additionally, compound 3 e also demonstrated effective antifungal activity, particularly against Candida krusei (MIC=8 & mu;g/ml), indicating that nitro group at the 4(th) position of the phenyl ring was the most preferable substituent for both cytotoxic and antimicrobial activity. Our preliminary findings suggest that compound 3 e could be exploited as a leading structure for further anticancer and antifungal drug development.
