Öğe Anti-aging potential and anti-tyrosinase activity of three Hypericum species with focus on phytochemical composition by LC-MS/MS(Elsevier, 2019) Ersoy, Ezgi; Ozkan, Esra Eroglu; Boga, Mehmet; Yilmaz, Mustafa Abdullah; Mat, AfifeHypericum species are one of the most commonly used medicinal plants all over the world and traditional uses of the Hypericum species are mainly characterized by external applications for the treatment of dermatological disorders. The purpose of this study was to investigate the chemical compounds with anti-aging and anti-tyrosinase activities of Hypericum perforatum L., H. calycinum L., and H. confertum Choisy from Turkey and to bring innovation for further studies on developing formulations with Hypericum species for topical applications. In this study, chemical compositions of methanol extracts prepared from flowering aerial parts of the following species collected from Uludag, H. calycinum, H. confertum, and H. perforatum were investigated by LC-MS/MS. Nine metabolites, p-coumaric acid, gallic acid, quinic acid, chlorogenic acid, malic acid, protocatechuic acid, rutin, quercitrin, and isoquercitrin were identified in all analyzed species. To investigate the anti-aging and skin-whitening properties, enzyme inhibition activity of the three species were tested against, collagenase, elastase, hyaluronidase, and tyrosinase enzymes. H. calycinum appeared the most active in all enzyme inhibition activity assays which is mainly due to its rich phenolic content. The methanol extract of H. calycinum showed the highest collagenase, elastase and hyaluronidase inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 51.24 +/- 1.33 mu g/mL, 55.77 +/- 1.32 mu g/mL and 22.17 +/- 0.02 mu g/mL, respectively. Additionally, H. calycinum emerged as the most potential tyrosinase inhibitor among these species with 54.30 +/- 0.49% at 200 mu g/mL concentration. The most abundant compounds determined in H. calycinum methanol extract are, chlorogenic acid (2595.15 +/- 0.179 mu g/g), quercitrin (1805.9 +/- 0.98 mu g/g), quinic acid (885.50 +/- 0.073 mu g/g) and isoquercitrin (346.16 +/- 0.046 mu g/g), respectively. Our study demonstrates that all three extracts, especially H. calycinum extract are potential agents to use in cosmeceuticals for anti-aging and skin-whitening purposes.Öğe Anticholinesterase and Antioxidant Activities of Natural Abietane Diterpenoids with Molecular Docking Studies(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, 2020) Topcu, Gulacti; Akdemir, Atilla; Kolak, Ufuk; Ozturk, Mehmet; Boga, Mehmet; Bahadori, Fatemeh; Cakmar, Seda Damla HatipogluBackground: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is one of the most prevalent causes of dementia in the world, and no drugs available that can provide a complete cure. Cholinergic neurons of the cerebral cortex of AD patients are lost due to increased activity of cholinesterase enzymes. Objective: Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and Butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) are the two major classes of cholinesterases in the mammalian brain. The involvement of oxidative stress in the progression of AD is known. Thus, the objective of this study is to determine strong ChE inhibitors with anti-oxidant activity. Methods: In this study, 41 abietane diterpenoids have been assayed for antioxidant and anticholinesterase (both for AChE and BuChE) properties in vitro, which were previously isolated from Salvia species, and structurally determined by spectroscopic methods, particularly intensive 1D- and 2D-NMR and mass experiments. Molecular modeling studies were performed to rationalize the in vitro ChE inhibitory activity of several abietane diterpenoids compared with galantamine. Results: Thirteen out of the tested 41 abietane diterpenoids exhibited at least 50% inhibition on either AChE or BuChE. The strongest inhibitory activity was obtained for Bractealine against BuChE (3.43 mu M) and AChE (33.21 mu M) while the most selective ligand was found to be Hypargenin E against BuChE enzyme (6.93 mu M). A full correlation was not found between anticholinesterase and antioxidant activities. The results obtained from molecular modelling studies of Hypargenin E and Bractealine on AChE and BuChE were found to be in accordance with the in vitro anti-cholinesterase activity tests. Conclusion: Abietane diterpenoids are promising molecules for the treatment of mild-moderate AD.Öğe Antioxidant and Anticholinesterase Activities of Some Dialkylamino Substituted 3-Hydroxyflavone Derivatives(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, 2017) Culhaoglu, Burcu; Capan, Asli; Boga, Mehmet; Ozturk, Mehmet; Ozturk, Turan; Topcu, GulactiBackground: Flavones, are a class of naturally occuring polyphenolic compounds which have 2-phenylchromen-4-one structure. Various studies showed that flavones have several pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, cytotoxic, antitumour and antiallergic. In the present study, 3-hydroxyflavones also called flavonols, posessing 4'-dialkylamino moiety were synthesized, and their antioxidant and anticholinesterase activities were investigated by comparison with unmodified 3-hydroxflavone. Method: For investigation of antioxidant potential, radical scavenging assays (DPPH., ABTS(+)-, O-2(-)) were used along with CUPRAC and lipid peroxidation inhibitory assays, as well as anticholinesterase activity by Ellman method. Results: The best results were obtained for 4'-N, N-dimethyl flavonol (1) in both antioxidant and anticholinesterase activity tests, possibly due to its least steric hinderance effect. It exhibited remarkable DPPH free radical scavenging activity (2.43 perpendicular to 0,09 mu g/mL) competing with a standard compound quercetin (2.10 +/- 0,10 mu g/mL). Moreover, the other tested flavonols also showed high antioxidant activities. Compounds 5 and 6 exhibited close IC50 values to those of compound 1. Conclusion: Antioxidant activity test results were found to be well correlated with anticholinesterase activity test results indicating possible role of antioxidant compounds in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.Öğe Antioxidant, anticholinesterase, and antimicrobial activities and fatty acid constituents of Achillea cappadocica Hausskn. et Bornm.(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2014) Ertas, Abdulselam; Boga, Mehmet; Hasimi, Nesrin; Yesil, Yeter; Goren, Ahmet Ceyhan; Topcu, Gulacti; Kolak, UfukThis study was the first fatty acid analysis and biological activity report on an endemic Achillea species, Achillea cappadocica Hausskn. et Bornm. The major compounds in the fatty acid were identified as oleic (34.7%), palmitic (23.1%), and linoleic acids (20.6%). The methanol and water extracts indicated higher ABTS cation radical scavenging activity than that of alpha-tocopherol and BHT at 100 mu g/mL. The acetone extract showed 70.62% inhibitory activity against butyrylcholinesterase at 200 mu g/mL. The acetone and methanol extracts exhibited moderate antimicrobial activity.Öğe BIOLOGICAL SURVEYING OF DIVERSE SCHIFF BASE COMPOUNDS: ANTIPROLIFERATIVE, ANTIRADICAL AND ENZYME INHIBITION ACTIVITY(Springer, 2019) Pasa, Salih; Tuneg, Muhammed; Boga, MehmetSchiff base compounds (((1Z,1'Z)-(((ethane-1,2-diylbis(sulfanediyl))bis(2,1-phenylene))bis(azanylylidene)) bis(methanylylidene))bis(4,1-phenylene))diboronic acid (1), 1,1'-((1Z,1'Z)-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diylbis(azanylylidene)) bis(methanylylidene))bis(naphthalen-2-ol) (2), 4,4'-((1Z, 1'Z)-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diylbis(azanylylidene)) bis(methanylylidene))bis(2-methoxy phenol) (3), (N 4 Z, N 4'Z)-N 4, N 4'-bis(4-(dimethyl amino)benzylidene)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine (4), (E)-2-((2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino)terephthalic acid (5), and (E)-2-(((2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)methylene)amino)terephthalic acid (6) have been synthesized. The structural identification was confirmed by spectroscopic techniques. The antiproliferative, antiradical, and enzyme activities were investigated in biological experiments. The obtained results showed that Schiff base compounds 1 - 6 exhibited meaningful features in various biological tests. A comparison of compound 1 (containing boron atom in the structure) to compounds 2 - 6 shows that the inclusion of boron in the Schiff base determines whether this would increase or not the efficiency in biological experiments. Hereby, compound 1 exhibited significantly different results in all applications.Öğe Chemical Composition of The Essential Oils of Three Centaurea Species Growing Wild in Anatolia and Their Anticholinesterase Activities(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014) Ertas, Abdulselam; Goren, Ahmet Ceyhan; Boga, Mehmet; Demirci, Serpil; Kolak, UfukThis report represents the first study on the chemical composition of essential oil of endemic Centaurea lycopifolia.

All of the extracts (petroleum ether, acetone, methanol, and water) obtained from S. sediforme showed strong antioxidant activity in four tested methods. Particularly, the IC50 values of the methanol extract, which was the richest in terms of total phenolic and flavonoid contents, were found to be lower than those of alpha-tocopherol and BHT in beta-carotene bleaching (9.78 +/- 0.06 mu g/mL), DPPH free radical scavenging (9.07 +/- 0.07 mu g/mL), and ABTS cation radical scavenging (5.87 +/- 0.03 mu g/mL) methods. Furthermore, the methanol extract of S. sediforme showed higher inhibition activity than galanthamine against acetyl- and butyryl-cholinesterase enzymes. Also, acetone and methanol extracts exhibited moderate antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans. The main constituents of fatty acid and essential oil were identified as palmitic acid (C16:0) (28.8%) and alpha-selinene (20.4%), respectively, by GC-MS. In the methanol extract of S. sediforme, quercetin, rutin, naringenin, and protocatechuic, p-coumaric, caffeic, and chlorogenic acids were detected and quantified by LC-MS/MS. Results of the current study showed that the methanol extract of S. sediforme may also be used as a food supplement.Öğe Chemical Constituents and Biological Activities of Cirsium leucopsis, C. sipyleum, and C. eriophorum(Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2014) Boga, Mehmet; Yilmaz, Pelin Koseoglu; Cebe, Deniz Baris; Fatima, Mashhad; Siddiqui, Bina S.; Kolak, UfukTwo endemic Cirsium species, C. leucopsis DC. and C. sipyleum O. Schwarz, and C. eriophorum (L.) Scop. growing in Turkey were investigated to establish their secondary metabolites, fatty acid compositions, and antioxidant and anticholinesterase potentials.

The anticholinesterase potency was investigated towards the acetyl- and butrylcholinesterase enzymes (AChE and BChE) and complementary determination of biological potency was obtained by the evaluation of binding scores. The compound 11b resulted the best binding behaviors due to the hydrophobic interactions with the responsible amino acids on the different active sites of enzymes pocket. The structural analysis revealed that the most favorable binding pose was mainly dependent on the presence of aromatic moiety administered by the benzoic acid as well as the hydrazide-hydrazone linker but not related with the location on indole ring. Most importantly, the biological study was found to be compatible with the molecular modeling study and the highest inhibition was determined in the presence of compound 11b with the values of 83.31 and 73.55 for AChE and BChE, respectively.

A range of novel monomeric and dimeric indole based thiosemicarbazone derivatives 17-28 was synthesized in order to target cholinesterases (ChE). Biological importance of the targeted compounds 17-28 was investigated by employing the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzymes along with three different antioxidant property determination assays, namely DPPH free radical scavenging, ABTS cationic radical decolarization, and CUPRAC cupric reducing antioxidant capacity. The compounds 18 and 19 displayed the best inhibitor activity against BChE with IC50 values of 7.42 and 1.95 mu M, respectively. The antioxidant potentials were found to be moderate for DPPH and ABTS assays and the compounds 28 and 18 were the most potent candidates for both antioxidant assays. Cupric reducing capacity was the most promising assay and the compounds 25, 26 and 28 provided better inhibition values than all the standards. Further binding mode and affinity studies performed by molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. Accordingly, the compound 19 is the most plausible candidate that can compete with galantamine (GNT), a common pharmaceutics targeting both cholinesterase enzymes.Öğe Effect of Pleurotus ostreatus Water Extract Consumption on Blood Parameters and Cytokine Values in Healthy Volunteers(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Dundar, Abdurrahman; Yalcin, Pinar; Arslan, Nurgul; Acay, Hilal; Hatipoglu, Abdulkerim; Boga, Mehmet; Karahan, SelimObjective: Our aim in this study is, does 29-day regular consumption of Pleurotus ostreatus water extract by volunteer individuals who meet the study criteria have an effect on blood and cytokine values? Method: In accordance with the purpose of the study, volunteers were asked to consume 100 ml of the extract every morning for 29 days. Three tubes of blood samples were taken from the volunteers on the 15th and 29th days of the study. Biochemical and hematological analysis of the blood samples were performed and immunomodulatory effects through cytokines were examined. The values obtained from 3 tubes of blood obtained from volunteers before the use of mushroom extract were used as control. The chemical composition and beta-glucan content of 100 ml of mushroom water extract were also analyzed. Result: IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-13 could not be detected because the values were below the lowest standard value. TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma and IL-1 beta 15th and 29th day values decreased compared to the 1st day (control) values (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference observed between the 15th and 29th day. No abnormalities were observed in biochemical and hematological values. Also, the beta-glucan content of extract was found 38.12 mg/100 ml. Conclusion: The frequency range of kidney and liver function test results confirmed that P. osreatus is a reliable food source. Considering the cytokine values these results indicate that P. ostreatus water extract has an anti-inflammatory effect. As no significant difference was observed in 29 days of use, it is thought that 15 days of daily consumption of the extract may be sufficient for the anti-inflammatory effect to occur. However, a large number of qualified clinical trials are needed to support the issue.Öğe Essential Oil Composition of an Uninvestigated Centaurea Species from Turkey: Centaurea patula DC.(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016) Zengin, Gokhan; Aktumsek, Abdurrahman; Boga, Mehmet; Ceylan, Ramazan; Uysal, SengulCentaurea patula is widely distributed in the Central Anatolia Region of Turkey.
