This study evaluated the branch, leaf, and fruit extracts of Laurus nobilis collected from Artvin in terms of phenolic composition, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antidiabetic activities and additionally investigated the binding of selected phenolics to α-amylase/α-glucosidase targets through molecular docking. Using LC–ESI–MS/MS analysis, 31 phenolic compounds were quantitatively identified, with epicatechin, luteolin-7-O-glucoside, and rutin predominating particularly in the branches and leaves. Antioxidant capacity was higher in branches and leaves (total phenolic content [TPC]/FRAP/DPPH IC50: branches and leaves, respectively, 95.27–60.84 mg gallic acid equivalent [GAE]/g, 206.16–162.05 mg Trolox equivalent [TE]/g, and 46.95–113.49 µg/mL). Antimicrobial activity was observed within a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) range of 1.25–10 mg/mL; leaves exhibited the strongest effect against Bacillus cereus (1.25 mg/mL), whereas fruits were most effective against Candida albicans (1.25 mg/mL). In antidiabetic evaluation, fruits yielded the lowest IC50 values against α-amylase and α-glucosidase (4.31 and 8.97 mg/mL, respectively), suggesting a “composition-over-quantity” effect despite low total phenolic content. Docking results supported high binding affinities of rutin (α-glucosidase −9.3 kcal/mol; α-amylase −8.1 kcal/mol) and luteolin (−8.6 kcal/mol for both enzymes). Overall, although branches and leaves exhibited strong antioxidant profiles, fruits showed more pronounced inhibitory effects on digestive enzymes; therefore, fractionation studies and in vivo/kinetic validations are recommended.

Propolis is a natural bee product rich in phenolic and flavonoid compounds and is well known for its remarkable biological properties. In this study, the phenolic compositions of propolis samples collected from various localities in the Caucasus region of Türkiye were characterized using LC–MS/MS, and their antioxidant, antidiabetic, and antibacterial activities were also evaluated. LC–MS/MS analyses identified caffeic acid, ferulic acid, and p-coumaric acid as the major phenolic acid compounds, while pinocembrin, chrysin, and galangin were determined as the major flavonoid constituents. Overall, these findings indicate that the antioxidant capacity of propolis samples obtained from different regions may be particularly associated with these key phenolic and flavonoid compounds. Consistent with this composition, total phenolic and flavonoid contents ranged from 34.72 to 120.54 mg GAE/g and 6.88 to 47.19 mg QE/g, respectively. The extracts exhibited a relatively high antioxidant capacity, with FRAP values between 60.47 and 311.87 mg TE/g and DPPH IC50 values ranging from 215.80 to 37.96 µg/mL. Regarding antidiabetic activity, the IC50 values for α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition were determined as 5.86–3.47 and 12.22–5.02 mg/mL, respectively, indicating a pronounced antidiabetic potential. Antimicrobial analyses revealed activity against E. faecalis, B. cereus, E. coli, K. pneumoniae, and C. albicans. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive LC–MS/MS-based phenolic profile of Caucasian propolis and demonstrates its antioxidant properties together with its antidiabetic potential.

Laurocerasus officinalis Roem. (Prunus laurocerasus L.), also locally known as “karayemis or taflan”, is a popular black summer fruit belonging to the genus Prunus and the family Rosaceae. L. officinalis exhibits numerous biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, antioxidant, neuroprotective, and antidiabetic effects. The aim of this study was to determine the total phenolic content and cytotoxic effect of dimethyl sulfoxide extract of L. officinalis (DEL). The total phenolic content and cytotoxic effect of DEL were investigated using the Folin-Ciocalteu method and thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, respectively. Total phenolic content value was 33.7±0.13 mg gallic acid equivalent per g sample. DEL exhibited selective cytotoxic effects against four human cancer (lung, colon, liver, and cervix) cell lines. The most selective cytotoxic effect of the extract was observed in colon cancer cells (IC50=265.2±8.1 μg/mL) compared to normal fibroblast cells. These data demonstrate that L. officinalis extract exhibits selective cytotoxicity towards some cancer cells. Further studies are now needed to clarify the molecules involved and their mechanisms.

Bu çalışmanın amacı akut derin ven trombozlu (DVT) hastalarda toplam oksidan durum (TOS), toplam antioksidan durum (TAS) ve oksidatif stres indeksi (OSI) düzeylerini ölçerek oksidatif stres ve DVT arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymak ve klinisyenlerin bu hastalarda oksidatif stresi dengelemek üzere koruyucu önlemler almasına yardımcı olmaktır.Metod: Bu çalışmada 52 DVT'li ve 45 DVT olmayan bireylerden alınan serum örneklerinde TOS, TAS ve OSI seviyeleri belirlenerek karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: TOS ve OSI seviyeleri DVT hastalarında kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yüksek bulunurken (p<0.0001) TAS seviyelerinde fark görülmedi, p=0.118. Hasta grubu idiopatik ve sekonder DVT olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. TOS ve OSI seviyeleri hem idiyopatik DVT hem de sekonder DVT hastalarında kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yüksek bulundu (p<0.0001). İdiyopatik DVT hastalarında TAS seviyeleri kontrol grubundan anlamlı yüksek iken sekonder DVT hastalarında fark gözlenmedi. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak ROC eğrisine göre elde edilen spesifite ve sensitivite değerleri TOS ve OSI parametrelerinin DVT'nin tanısında kullanılabilecek birer belirteç olabileceğini göstermektedir. Aynı zamanda oksidatif stres belirteçlerinin belirlenmesi hastalarda oksidatif stresin düzeltilmesi için klinisyenlere gerekli önlemleri alabilmeleri için yol gösterici olabilir

Background/aim: To investigate the differences in perioperative oxidative stress (OS) in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) patients treated with either endovascular repair (EVAR) or open repair (OR).; Materials and methods: Twenty patients (11 OR, 9 EVAR) treated for AAA with no known malignant or inflammatory disease and an aneurysm diameter of over 5 cm and no rupture were included in the study. Blood samples were obtained preoperatively, during aortic occlusion, and 1 h and 24 h after reperfusion. Total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidative stress (TOS), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were measured and oxidative stress index (OSI) was calculated.; Results: OSI at 1 h and 24 h after reperfusion was higher in the EVAR group (P = 0.004 and P = 0.002, respectively). TAS levels were higher (P = 0.001, P = 0,029). MDA levels showed no difference (P = 0.291, P = 0.076). TOS levels were lower 24 h after reperfusion in the EVAR group (P = 0.018). Conclusion: Markers of oxidative stress were lower in the EVAR group. This may be associated with advantages of EVAR. More studies are required for a clear-cut conclusion.

Background/aim: Propolis is a bee product with antioxidative, antimutagenic, and other beneficial properties, and it is used as a natural drug. It is rich in polyphenolic compounds. Its composition varies depending on the particular geographical region. Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalanced free radical production and antioxidant system. The effects of flavonoids on the expression of DNA repair enzymes have been examined previously; however, no study has investigated the effects of propolis. This study investigated the effects of ethanolic extracts of Turkish propolis (EEP) on the expression of DNA repair enzymes. Materials and methods: The effects of EEP and tertiary-butyl-hydroperoxide (t-BHP) on cell viability were determined using MTT. DNA damage was determined using comet assay. mRNA expression of target enzymes was detected using RT-PCR. Results: According to the cytotoxicity analysis, after a recovery time of 4 h, appropriate damage agent t-BHP and optimum EEP concentrations were 300 µM and 200 µg/mL, respectively. 8-Oxoguanine-glycosylase (hOGG-1) and endonuclease-VIII-like-1 (NEIL-1) expressions increased in the positive control group (t-BHP alone) and the study group (t-BHP+EEP). Maximum increase in NEIL-1 expression was at hour 12 in the positive control group and at hour 8 in the study group. Conclusion: EEP can be considered as a potential source of functional food and pharmaceutical agents.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to show the association between oxidative stress and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) by determining total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) values in patients with DVT and to take precautionary measures to balance oxidative status. Methods: TOS, TAS and OSI levels in serum from 52 individuals with DVT and 45 without DVT were compared. Results: TOS and OSI levels were significantly higher in patients with DVT compared with the control group (p<0.0001), but no difference was observed in TAS levels (p=0.118). The patient group was divided into two subgroups, idiopathic and secondary DVT. TOS and OSI levels were significantly higher patients with both idiopathic DVT and secondary DVT compared to the control group (p<0.0001). TAS levels were significantly higher in patients with idiopathic DVT than in the control group, but no difference was observed in the patients with secondary DVT. Conclusion: Specificity and sensitivity values obtained from the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve show that TOS and OSI are both markers that can be used in the diagnosis of DVT. Also, determination of oxidative stress markers may guide clinicians to take necessary precautions to balance oxidative stress in the patients.
