Preparation of Antibacterial Electrospun Poly(D, L-Lactide-co-Glycolide)/Gelatin Blend Membranes Containing Hypericum Capitatum Var. Capitatum
(Taylor & Francis As, 2021) Aksit, Nazende Nur; Gurdap, Seda; Isoglu, Sevil Dincer; Isoglu, Ismail Alper; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 04. Yaşam ve Doğa Bilimleri Fakültesi; 04.01. Biyomühendislik
In this study, we fabricated poly(D, L-lactide-co-glycolide)/gelatin (PLGA/gelatin) membranes containing different amounts of Hypericum capitatum var. capitatum (HCC) extract (1, 5, 7.5, 10 wt%) by electrospinning technique. We investigated chemical, morphological, physical, and mechanical properties as well as in vitro degradation behavior of the electrospun membranes. We also evaluated the antibacterial activity of the electrospun membranes against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Viability, adhesion, and attachment of human fibroblast cells on the electrospun membranes on pre-set days were evaluated by the colorimetric CellTiter 96(R) AQueous One Solution Cell Proliferation Assay (MTS assay), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and 4',6-Diamidino-2-Phenylindole (DAPI) staining.

Sulfobetaine-Based Homo- and Copolymers by Raft: Cross-Linked Micelles and Aqueous Solution Properties
(Amer Chemical Soc, 2022) Gurdap, Seda; Bayram, Nazende Nur; Isoglu, Ismail Alper; Isoglu, Sevil Dincer; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 04. Yaşam ve Doğa Bilimleri Fakültesi; 04.01. Biyomühendislik
In this study, we describe the synthesis and aqueous solution behavior of temperature-sensitive N-(3-sulfopropyl)-N-methacroyloxyethyl-N,N-dimethylammonium betaine (SBMA) homopolymers and core cross-linked micelles (CCMs) with an SBMA shell. Reversible addition- fragmentation chain transfer polymerization has been utilized to synthesize sulfobetaine homopolymers, followed by CCM formation during copoly-merization in the presence of an acid-degradable cross-linker. First, SBMA homopolymers of varying chain lengths were synthesized, and it has been demonstrated that an increase in the chain length and concentration of the homopolymer resulted in an increase in the upper critical solution temperature (UCST). Besides, micelles showed concentration-dependent dual temperature-sensitive behavior with UCST and LCST transitions. Also, homopolymers and CCMs were characterized by FTIR, H-1-NMR, GPC, and TEM. Micelle formation and temperature sensitivity were also investigated by DLS. As a result, stabilized micelles were successfully prepared with the motivation of preventing premature drug release and achieving a pH-and temperature-controlled system. Due to their dual-responsive characteristics, the CCMs show promising potential to be used as smart drug carriers for controlled delivery.
