Synthesis Of Novel Sn38-Aspirin Prodrugs For The Treatment Of Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Zhimin Chen, Yi Luo, Aiping Fang, Chen Fan, Chenjuan Zeng

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver malignancy and is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. However, there is no effective chemotherapeutic treatment for HCC and its prognosis remains poor. Consequently, it is urgent to find an efficient antitumor agent to treat HCC. In this study, 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN38), the bioactive metabolite of the anticancer drug irinotecan (CPT-11), which is 100-1000 times more potent than CPT-11, was coupled with aspirin to give 4 prodrugs. Their structures were characterized by $^{1}$H~NMR and elemental analysis. The in vitro anticancer activities of these compounds on two human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines …

Synthesis, Characterization, And Evaluation Of Toxicity Of Quaternary Ammonium Chlorides Of Glucose-Based Este, Anna Parus, Grzegorz Framski

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

This study presents the synthesis of glucose-based surfactants including quaternary ammonium salts. Their surface properties and influence on the soil environment were investigated. The synthesized quaternary ammonium chlorides of glucose-based ester exhibited good surface tension reduction properties and formed stable foam in contact with water. The results showed that quaternary ester ammonium salts affect the activation of metals (nickel and cadmium) from the soil matrix after their introduction into the soil environment. This phenomenon can increase the bioavailability of these metals. The introduction of glucose surfactants to the soil increased microorganism activity, which may indicate that these compounds were used …

1-Methyl-2-(2-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)benzylidene)hydrazine analogues were readily prepared in good yields by the reaction of 2-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)benzaldehydes and methyl hydrazine. The reaction tolerates a variety of substituents on the 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde to form nitro-, halo-, methoxy-, and naphthyl-substituted 1-methyl-2-(2-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)benzylidene)hydrazines. The in vitro antioxidant capacity measurements revealed that among all the analyzed hydrazine analogues that surpassed the Trolox standard, 1-(2-(but-3-ynyl)-5-nitrobenzylidene)-2-methylhydrazine had the maximum value, which was approximately 1.7 times that of Trolox.

Transfer Of The Protonable Surfactant Dipalmitoyl-Phosphatidylcholine Across A Large Liquid/Liquid Interface: A Voltammetric Study, İbrahi̇m Uyanik

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Adsorption behavior of the zwitterionic phospholipid dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) at the polarizable liquid/liquid interface formed between water and 1,2-dichloroethane electrolyte solutions is studied taking into account both the pH of the aqueous phase and the concentration of the phospholipid in the organic phase by cyclic voltammetry. Experimental results showed that the adsorption of the phospholipid strongly depends on the pH of the aqueous phase, which determines the surface ionization of the polar head of the phospholipid molecule and hence the stability of the adsorbed layer of phospholipids.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A pencil graphite electrode (PGE) was used for the simultaneous detection of ascorbic acid (AA), norepinephrine (NE), and uric acid (UA) by differential pulse voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry. The anodic peaks of AA, NE, and UA in their mixture can be well separated in 0.1 M Britton--Robinson buffer solution at pH 4.0. The effects of various experimental parameters such as pH, scan rate, and voltammetric parameters on the voltammetric response of these compounds were investigated. Under optimum conditions, linear calibration graphs were obtained from the AA, NE, and UA concentration ranges, which were 100-800 nM, 20-170 nM, and 40-175 nM, …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Cocondensation and postfunctionalization methods were employed to synthesize a mesoporous silica with large surface area (795.1 $\pm $ 1.1 m$^{2}$ g$^{-1})$ modified with 4-amino-5-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol, which was successfully applied to adsorb and preconcentrate Cu(II), Co(II), and Cd(II) from aqueous media. Infrared spectroscopy of the adsorbent material demonstrated N-H stretching bonds related to primary amines existing in the ligand molecule, elemental analysis revealed the presence of 0.132 mmol g$^{-1}$ of nitrogen, scanning electron microscopy indicated globularly shaped particles with average size of 10 $\mu $m, and the point of zero charge was found to be 7.2. Kinetic data were applied to the …

Removal Of Five Cationic Dyes Using A Resin Coated With Nickel/Nickel Boride Nanoparticles, Merve Çinar, Yasemi̇n İşlek Coşkun, Tüli̇n Deni̇z Çi̇ftçi̇

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Resins coated with nickel/nickel boride nanoparticles were used to remove brilliant green, methyl violet, methylene blue, phenosafranine, and brilliant cresyl blue from water. The effects of pH, adsorbent dose, contact time, and initial dye concentration on the adsorption efficiencies were investigated. The point of zero charge for the adsorbent was pH 9.5. Isotherm studies were conducted using Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin--Radushkevich models, and thermodynamic studies were also performed. Adsorption of the five dyes was found to obey the Langmuir isotherm model and was endothermic. The maximum adsorption capacities calculated from the Langmuir isotherm were 66.7, 88.5, 144.9, 56.2, and 147.1 …
