    Turan, Ibrahim; Demir, Selim; Aliyazicioglu, Rezzan; Aliyazicioglu, Yuksel

    Primula vulgaris belongs to the genus Primula and this genus is frequently used in traditional medicine. Numerous studies reported the antioxidant and cytotoxic effects of various extracts of different Primula species but, there were limited studies of the antioxidant and cytotoxic effect of P. vulgaris. The aim of this study was to determine the antioxidant properties and cytotoxic effects of dimethyl sulfoxide extract of leaves of P. vulgaris. The total polyphenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and reducing antioxidant power of extract were evaluated using spectrophotometric procedures. The cytotoxic effects of extract were revealed on human lung (A549), liver (HepG2), breast (MCF-7), prostate (PC-3), and colon (WiDr) cancer cell lines and normal fibroblast cells using thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. TPC and FRAP values were 1890.1 +/- 11.2 mg gallic acid equivalents and 3233.1 +/- 176.2 mg trolox equivalents per 100 g sample, respectively. The extract showed selective cytotoxic effects on all studied cancer cell lines compared to normal fibroblast cells and IC50 values ranged from 133.3-253.8 mu g/mL. This is the first study to reveal the antioxidant properties of P. vulgaris leaf extract and its cytotoxic effect on cancer cell lines. Further studies are now needed to identify the antioxidant and cytotoxic molecules in the extract and their mechanisms.

    Synthesis, in vitro DNA interactions, cytotoxicities, antioxidative activities, and topoisomerase inhibition potentials of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) complexes with azo-oxime ligands

    Ayvaz, Melekcol; Turan, Ibrahim; Dural, Bayram; Demir, Selim; Karaoglu, Kaan; Aliyazicioglu, Yuksel; Serbest, Kerim

    Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) transition metal complexes of 2-hydroxy-5-[(E)-(4-phenyl) diazenyl] benzaldehyde oxime and 2-hydroxy-5-[(E)-(4-nitrophenyl) diazenyl] benzaldehyde oxime ligands were synthesized and characterized through NMR, IR, ESI mass, and UV analysis. DNA binding abilities of the complexes were revealed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer with the absorption titration and competitive binding techniques. Hydrolytic and oxidative DNA cleavage activities under different conditions were also proved. Topoisomerase I inhibition efficiencies and in vitro free radical scavenging activities of all complexes were examined. Finally, the selective cytotoxic potentials of all complexes were evaluated in human colon cancer, normal colon, and fibroblast cell lines using the water-soluble tetrazolium salt (WST-1) assay. The complexes had the ability to intercalate into stacked base pairs of DNA and topoisomerase I activity was reasonably inhibited in their presence in 0.4 mM concentrations. The abilities for scavenging of DPPH and hydroxyl radicals were found to be higher than those of known standard antioxidants (ascorbic acid, butylated hydroxyanisole, and mannitol). The results obtained from the cytotoxicity experiments are especially promising for further research, which must be carried out for the evaluation of the studied complexes as anticancer drugs.

    Günaydin, Mustafa; Laghari, Abdul Hafeez; Bektas, Ersan; Sökmen, Munevver; Sökmen, Atalay

    Thymus pseudopulegioides plantlets were propagated in vitro via direct organogenesis by using Murashige and Skoog (MS) media containing kinetin, thidiazuron, and 6-benzyladenine (BA) individually. Methanol extracts obtained both from plantlets and wild plants were analyzed for their total phenolics and flavonoid contents, then quantified by HPLC. The highest total phenolic (8.83 mg/g as gallic acid equivalent) and total flavonoid (0.92 mg/mL as rutin equivalent) values were from the MS media supplemented with 1.0 mg/L kinetin and 0.5 mg/L BA, respectively. The plantlets grown in those media also showed remarkable antioxidant activities with an IC50 value of 4.77 mu g/mL in DPPH and 100% inhibition in beta-carotene assays, respectively. HPLC analysis proved the production of protocatechuic, caffeic, vanillic, rosmarinic, ferulic, and o-coumaric acids and rutin. Rosmarinic acid production was predominant in natural samples (115.2 mg/100 g dry weight), while the aforesaid phenolic acids were prevalent in plantlets grown on MS media supplemented with KIN or BA at various concentrations. Rutin production was the highest (50.74 mg/100 g dry weight) in the plantlets grown on MS medium containing kinetin (1.0 mg/L). As an economically important chemical, rosmarinic acid was selected as the target chemical and a novel method was introduced to achieve its selective isolation.

    Physicochemical and bioactive properties of cakes incorporated with gilaburu fruit (Viburnum opulus) pomace

    Şeker, I.T.; Ertop, M.H.; Hayta, M.

    In this study the valorisation of a gilaburu (Viburnum opulus) fruit pomace, a waste product remaining after juice extraction, was investigated. The pomace was incorporated into cake formulation at the level of 0, 5, 10 and 15%, based on wheat flour weight. Results indicated that the batter viscosity increased and pH decreased by the increasing of the concentration of pomace level in cake formulation. Depending on incorporation level, reduction on the volume and height of the cake samples were observed. The hardness values increased whereas the chewiness and gumminess values of the cake samples decreased with an increasing of pomace incorporation level. Gilaburu pomace addition caused significant (P<0.05) changes on L*, a*, and b* values of crumb, whereas no significant differences have been determined on the L* and b* values of crust of the samples. In sensory analyses, 5% gilaburu pomace added cake sample had the highest overall acceptability score. The total phenolic content and radical-scavenging activity values of cake samples increased proportionally with the level of pomace incorporation. According to the study, evaluation of gilaburu pomace waste as ingredient in developing alternative functional and/or value-added products by the food industry could be suggested.

    Three new series of 33 quinolone compounds, 2-(2-, 3-, and 4-fluorophenyl)-4-O-alkyl(C5-15)quinolines (7a-k, 8a-k, and 9a-k), were synthesized from 2-(2-, 3-, and 4-fluorophenyl)-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H )-one (4, 5, and 6) by the reaction of alkyl halides under basic conditions in DMF. The new compounds 7a-k, 8a-k, and 9a-k were synthesized from flavonones 4-6, which can be considered new precursors for quinoline synthesis through a one-step reaction. All the target compounds (7a-k, 8a-k, and 9a-k) were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against nine test microorganisms. They showed the most activity against Mycobacterium smegmatis with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 62.5-500 μg/mL, indicating their potential uses as antituberculosis agents. Among them 8a-k (m-fluoride) were the most active compounds against M. smegmatis (MIC, 62.5-125 μg/mL). The newly synthesized title compounds were also evaluated for their in vitro antioxidant activities using DPPH• radical scavenging and FRAP tests. They showed at a low concentration (mg/mL) a range of SC50 values of 0.03-12.48 mg/mL (DPPH•) and 0-722 μM (FRAP), respectively. The antioxidant results of compounds 7a-k, 8a-k, and 9a-k revealed that the length of the alkyl chain was negatively correlated with antioxidant capacity.

A wide variation on total phenolic content was observed in raw vegetables, ranging from 44.94 ± 0.47 (beet, Beta vulgaris L. subsp. vulgaris) to 350.94 ± 5.18 (red radish, Raphanus sativus L.) μg gallic acid equivalent/mg of sample. Considering uncooked vegetables, the order of total antioxidant activity determined by β-carotene bleaching assay was beet > red cabbage > broccoli > white cabbage > black radish > kale > turnip > red radish. In DPPH• assay, kale had an exceptionally high antioxidant activity followed by red cabbage, broccoli, turnip, black radish, beet, white cabbage, and red radish.

    Radical scavenging and antioxidant capacity of serotonin

    Sarikaya, S. Beyza Öztürk; Gülçin, Ilhami

    Serotonin is a monoamine neurotransmitter and biochemically derived from tryptophan. The present paper examines the in vitro antioxidant and radical scavenging capacity of serotonin using different in vitro methodologies. For the determination of antioxidant activity of serotonin, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl free radical (DPPH) scavenging, 2,2́-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity, total antioxidant activity determination by ferric thiocyanate, total reducing ability determination by Fe3+-Fe2+ transformation method, superoxide anion radical scavenging by riboflavin-methionine-illuminate system, H2O2 scavenging and ferrous ions (Fe +) chelating activities of serotonin were performed. Also, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), α-tocopherol and trolox, a water-soluble analog of α-tocopherol, were used as the reference antioxidant radical scavenger compounds. Serotonin completely inhibited lipid peroxidation of a linoleic acid emulsion at 15 μg/mL concentration. On the other hand, the above mentioned standard antioxidants displayed inhibition of 92.2, 99.6, 84.6 and 95.6% on peroxidation of linoleic acid emulsion, respectively at the 45 μg/mL concentration. In addition, serotonin was effective in DPPH· scavenging, ABTS•+ radical scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging, H2O2 scavenging, ferric ions (Fe3+) reducing power and metal chelating on ferrous ions (Fe+) activities. Also, those various antioxidant activities were compared to BHA, BHT α-tocopherol and trolox as references antioxidant compounds.
