Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A series of N-acylhydrazone derivatives (2a--2p) containing 6-methoxy-naphthalene and acylhydrazone moieties were synthesized in good yield using microwave irradiation and developed as potential COX-2 inhibitors. Furthermore, the interactions between COX-2 and the compounds were examined in detail by molecular modeling studies such as structure--activity relationship and molecular docking performed using Gaussian 09 and Discovery Studio 3.5. As a result, it was found that N-acylhydrazone compounds displayed a different mechanism than SC-558 as COX-2 inhibitor by binding to different active sites of the protein, COX-2. Compound 2c would be a good COX-2 inhibitor candidate for preclinical studies.

Cellulose acetate (CA) membranes were modified by nano-silicon dioxide (n-SiO_2), and they were exposed to ultrasonic waves at a frequency of 35 kHz. The effect of sonication on their water sorption tendency and permeation capability was investigated. The characterization of the membranes was done by FTIR and SEM analysis, and the hydrophilic character of the membranes was deduced by swelling studies and contact angle (CAn) measurements. Permeation studies of the membranes were performed by using the diffusion method and theophylline was used as a model chemical in the permeation studies. The results indicated that beside the high hygroscopic property of …


Molecular Docking Analysis And Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study Of Ameltolide Analogous As A Sodium Channel Blocker, Maryam Iman, Atefeh Saadabadi, Asghar Davood Jan 2015

Molecular Docking Analysis And Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study Of Ameltolide Analogous As A Sodium Channel Blocker, Maryam Iman, Atefeh Saadabadi, Asghar Davood

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Fifteen compounds related to ameltolide with sodium channel inhibitory activity were subjected to a molecular docking study. The chemical structures of all compounds were built using the program HyperChem and conformational studies were performed with a semiempirical method followed by the PM3 method. A docking study was performed using the program AutoDock on all the compounds. To confirm the binding mode of inhibitors, molecular dynamics simulations were performed using GROMACS 4.5.5, based upon the docked conformation of ameltolide. The docking analyses indicated that these compounds interacted mainly with residues II-S6 and III-S6 of NaV1.2 by making hydrogen bonds and (\pi …


Improvement Of Solubility Of Celecoxib By Inclusion In Mcm-41 Mesoporous Silica: Drug Loading And Release, Şahi̇ka Günaydin, Ayşen Yilmaz Jan 2015

Improvement Of Solubility Of Celecoxib By Inclusion In Mcm-41 Mesoporous Silica: Drug Loading And Release, Şahi̇ka Günaydin, Ayşen Yilmaz

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Celecoxib is a poorly water-soluble nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Here we report four ordered mesoporous silica MCM-41 supports with different particle size, pore volume, and surface properties to investigate their loading capacity with celecoxib and their release abilities. Spherical MCM-41 mesoporous supports less than 50 nm in diameter were prepared and to compare the effect of the template removal process on morphology of samples, acid extraction and calcination methods were used. Moreover, nearly 500 nm sized rod-shaped MCM-41 mesoporous silica was obtained by changing the template concentration in preparation. Boron doping was performed to determine the effect of a heteroatom on …
