Publication Metadata only Antioxidant, anticholinesterase, and antimicrobial activities and fatty acid constituents of Achillea cappadocica Hausskn. et Bornm.(2014-01-01) Ertas, Abdulselam; Boga, Mehmet; Hasimi, Nesrin; Yesil, Yeter; GOREN, AHMET CEYHAN; Topcu, GÜLAÇTI; Kolak, Ufuk; GÖREN, AHMET CEYHAN; TOPÇU, GÜLAÇTIThis 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.Publication Metadata only Anticholinesterase and Antioxidant Activities of Natural Abietane Diterpenoids with Molecular Docking Studies(2020-01-01T00:00:00Z) TOPÇU, GÜLAÇTI; AKDEMİR, ATİLLA; Kolak, Ufuk; Ozturk, Mehmet; Boga, Mehmet; BAHADORİ, FATEMEH; Cakmar, Seda Damla Hatipoglu; TOPÇU, GÜLAÇTI; AKDEMİR, ATİLLA; BAHADORİ, FATEMEHBackground: 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.Publication Metadata only Two new indole alkaloids from Vinca herbacea L.(2011-12-01T00:00:00Z) Boga, Mehmet; Kolak, Ufuk; Topcu, GÜLAÇTI; Bahadori, Fatemeh; Kartal, Murat; FARNSWORTH, Norman R.; TOPÇU, GÜLAÇTI; BAHADORİ, FATEMEH; KARTAL, MURATSix indole alkaloids were isolated from the aerial parts of Vinca herbacea Waldst. et Kit. Structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated as two new alkaloids, 10-methoxyraucaffrinoline (1) and 11-methoxyburnamine (2), and four known alkaloids, picrinine (3), burnamine (4), caboxine A (5) and elegantine (6) by intensive 1D-and 2D-NMR spectroscopic techniques. Antioxidant and anticholinesterase activities were investigated for the methanol, alkaloidal and non-alkaloidal extracts of V. herbacea and isolated alkaloids (1-3, 6). The alkaloidal extract was found to be active in the three tested antioxidant assays and exhibited significant lipid peroxidation inhibitory and DPPH free radical scavenging activities. The alkaloidal extract also exhibited high anticholinesterase activity against AChE and BChE enzymes similar to galanthamine. However, none of the tested alkaloids 1-3, and 6 were found to be active in the tested antioxidant and anticholinesterase systems. The alkaloids 1, 2, 4, and 6 were also evaluated for cytotoxic activity against the MCF7 and HT29 cell lines, and showed no activity. (C) 2011 Phytochemical Society of Europe.
