    rac- and meso-Cyclohexanoids: Their alpha-, beta-glycosidases, antibacterial, antifungal activities, and molecular docking studies
    (2020-01-10T00:00:00Z) Karakilic, Emel; Baran, Sule; Ogutcu, Hatice; AKDEMİR, ATİLLA; Baran, Arif; AKDEMİR, ATİLLA
    An efficient and versatile synthesis method has been postulated for hydroxymethylated rac- and meso-cyclohexanoid derivatives. The synthesis of these stereoisomers was achieved easily with traditional methods using hexahydroisobenzofuran 6, prepared from commercially available cis-hydrophthalic anhydride. The study, involving diastereoselective epoxidation and cis-hydroxylation, was conducted to obtain epoxy-, cis-, and trans-diol-furans 7, 8, and 9. After sulfamic acid-catalyzed ring-opening reaction of the epoxide and furan rings, rac- and meso-tetraacetates 14, 15, and 16 were afforded. Hydrolysis of acetate groups with ammonia in absolute methanol yielded the desired tetrols rac-17, meso-18, and meso-19. All structures, after purification by chromatographic methods and elucidation by spectral techniques, were screened against alpha- and beta-glucosidases. Compounds 7, 8, 10, 17, 18, and 19 were also evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activity against some selected synthesized compounds with varying degrees of inhibitory effects on the growth of different pathogenic microorganisms by the well-diffusion method. In addition, Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-glucosidase molecular modeling studies were performed for all rac- and meso-compounds 7, 8, 10, 17, 18, and 19.

    (2020-07-01T00:00:00Z) Kose, Ceyda; Uysal, Esra; Yazici, Busra; Tugay, Zeynep; Yanik, Hamdullah; Tavukcuoglu, Ece; Gulyuz, Sevgi; AKDEMİR, ATİLLA; ESENDAĞLI, GÜNEŞ; Yilmaz, Ozgur; Alptürk, Onur; DİNGİŞ BİRGÜL, SERAP İPEK; AKDEMİR, ATİLLA
    Tumor cells benefit from some certain signals, which are referred to as -immune checkpoints-, to escape immune-mediated destruction. With that in mind, it is believed that the blockade of these points, such as programmed cell death Ligand-1 (PD-L1) and programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), can restore an adaptative immune response against tumoral cells. In this study, we have designed and synthesized some novel peptidomimetics with a 2-aminobenzathiazole scaffold, which targets the PD-1/PDL-1 pathway. In the viability assay, it was found that these compounds decreased the proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in the concentration of 10 uM. Overall, our results indicate that these novel compounds are potential checkpoint inhibitors for cancer immunotherapy.

    New 1H-indole-2,3-dione 3-thiosemicarbazones with 3-sulfamoylphenyl moiety as selective carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
    (2022-05-01T00:00:00Z) Eraslan-Elma, Pinar; AKDEMİR, ATİLLA; Berrino, Emanuela; Bozdag, Murat; Supuran, Claudiu T.; Karali, Nilgun; AKDEMİR, ATİLLA
    1-Methyl/ethyl/benzyl-5-(un)substituted 1H-indole-2,3-diones (2, 3, and 4) were synthesized by reaction of 5-(un)substituted 1H-indole-2,3-diones (1) with methyl iodide, ethyl chloride, and benzyl bromide. (3-Sulfamoylphenyl)isothiocyanate (6) was obtained by the treatment of 3-aminobenzenesulfonamide (5) with thiophosgene. Compound 6 was reacted with hydrazine to yield 4-(3-sulfamoylphenyl)thiosemicarbazide (7). Novel 1-(un)substituted/methyl/ethyl/benzyl-5-(un)substituted 1H-indole-2,3-dione 3-[4-(3-sulfamoylphenyl)thiosemicarbazone] derivatives (8-11) were prepared by condensation of 7 and 1-4. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis and spectral data. Inhibition of the widely distributed cytosolic off-targets human carbonic anhydrases (hCAs) I and II, and two tumor-associated membrane-bound isoforms (hCAs IX and XII), by 8-11 was investigated. The hCA II inhibitory effects of all tested compounds were in the subnanomolar to low nanomolar levels (K-i = 0.32-83.3 nM), and generally high selectivity for hCA II isoenzyme over hCA I, IX, and XII isoenzymes was observed. The strongest inhibitors of hCA II, 1-benzyl-5-(trifluoromethoxy)-substituted 11c (K-i = 0.32 nM) and 1-ethyl-5-chloro-substituted 10e (K-i = 0.35 nM), were docked within the enzyme active site. Molecular modeling studies with the most effective hCA IX and XII inhibitors were also carried out.

    Mandelic acid-based spirothiazolidinones targeting M. tuberculosis: Synthesis, in vitro and in silico investigations
    (2022-04-01T00:00:00Z) Trawally, Muhammed; DEMİR YAZICI, Kübra; DİNGİŞ BİRGÜL, SERAP İPEK; Kaya, Kerem; AKDEMİR, ATİLLA; GÜZEL AKDEMİR, Özlen; DİNGİŞ BİRGÜL, SERAP İPEK; AKDEMİR, ATİLLA
    © 2022A series of new spirothiazolidinone derivatives with a mandelic acid moiety were synthesized and subsequently tested in growth inhibition assays against Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain H37Rv. Compound 16 displayed the highest inhibition value of 98% at lower than 6.25 µg/mL concentration. A single crystal X-ray analysis was conducted on this compound to confirm the structure and determine its absolute configuration. Afterwards, reverse docking and molecular dynamics simulations of this specific stereoisomer were performed against a selection of 10 putative targets of M. tuberculosis to suggest possible mechanisms of action. Our results suggest HadAB, Pks13, DprE1, FadD32 and InhA as possible target proteins for the observed antimycobacterial activity of compound 16.

    Evaluation of new 2-hydroxy-N-(4-oxo-2-substituted phenyl-1,3- thiazolidin-3-yl)-2-phenylacetamide derivatives as potential antimycobacterial agents
    (2020-04-01T00:00:00Z) Guzel-Akdemir, Ozlen; DEMİR YAZICI, Kübra; Trawally, Muhammed; AKDEMİR, ATİLLA; DİNGİŞ BİRGÜL, SERAP İPEK; AKDEMİR, ATİLLA
    A small collection of 2-hydroxy-N-(5-methyl/nonsubstituted 4-oxo-2-substituted phenyl-1,3-thiazolidin-3-yl)-2-phenylacetamides (3-16) was synthesized from the cyclocondensation of 2-hydroxy-2-phenyl-N--[(substitutedphenyl)methylene]acetohydrazides (2) and mercaptoethanoic acid or 2-mercaptopropanoic acid, characterized with spectral and elemental analysis. In order to explore their antimycobacterial potential, newly synthesized fourteen compounds were screened for their inhibitory activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain H37Rv at 6.25 mu g/mL with in-vitro primary tests. Compound 7 was found to provide the highest inhibition (98%) M. tuberculosis strain H37Rv, while most of the new derivatives showed different inhibition ratios. For the search of the putative targets which are considered as related to the antimycobacterial activity of these molecules, docking studies were performed. With molecular dynamic simulations, further possible interactions between ligands and the active site of the selected enzymes were investigated. Eventually, molecular modelling studies indicated that at least part of the mechanism of action of these compounds may be mediated by inhibition of MtInhA.

    Background: 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.

    Synthesis of new 1,2,4-triazole-(thio)semicarbazide hybrid molecules: Their tyrosinase inhibitor activities and molecular docking analysis
    (2021-04-01T00:00:00Z) Gultekin, Ergun; BEKİRCAN, OLCAY; KOLCUOĞLU, YAKUP; AKDEMİR, ATİLLA; AKDEMİR, ATİLLA
    Tyrosinase inhibition is very important in controlling melanin synthesis. If melanin synthesis is not controlled in metabolism, an unwanted increase in melanin synthesis occurs. As melanin plays a role in the formation of skin color, its unusual levels cause some skin disorders such as pregnancy scars, age spots, and especially skin cancer (melanoma). However, the tyrosinase activity is also related to Parkinson-s disease and some neurodegenerative diseases. For all these reasons, the medicinal as well as the cosmetic industries focus on research on tyrosinase inhibitors for the treatment of skin disorders and some neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, 32 new 1,2,4-triazole-(thio)semicarbazide hybrid molecules (6a-p and 7a-p) were synthesized, starting from 4-amino-1-pentyl-3-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5(4H)-one. These compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against mushroom tyrosinase. The results indicated that 6h, 6m, 6n, and 6p exhibited the most effective inhibitory activity, with IC50 values of 0.00162 +/- 0.0109, 0.00166 +/- 0.0217, 0.00165 +/- 0.019, and 0.00197 +/- 0.0063 mu M, respectively, compared with kojic acid as the reference drug (IC50 = 14.09 +/- 0.02 mu M). Also, molecular docking analyses were performed to suggest possible binding poses for the ligands. As a result, derivatives 6h, 6m, 6n, and 6p can be used as promising tyrosinase inhibitor candidates in the medicinal, cosmetics, or food industries.
