Article Citation - WoS: 31Citation - Scopus: 30Synthesis of Nitrogen-Containing Oleanolic Acid Derivatives as Carbonic Anhydrase and Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors(Springer Birkhauser, 2023-02-13) Senol, Halil; Turgut, Gurbet Celik; Sen, Alaattin; Saglamtas, Rueya; Tuncay, Salih; Gulcin, Ilhami; Topcu, Guelacti; Çelik Turgut, GurbetIn this study, a total of 13 compounds (5-17) were synthesized starting from oleanolic acid (OA), a natural triterpenoid. Five new compounds (10, 11, 12, 15 and 17), are the main targets of the study, which were synthesized for the first time in this work as oxime, imine and hydrazone derivatives of OA. Other compounds were previously obtained as natural or semi-synthetically. NMR and HRMS analyses were carried out to determine of structures of all the synthesized molecules. The inhibitory effects of the synthesized compounds on acetylcholinesterase (AChE), human carbonic anhydrase I (hCA I) and II (hCA II) were evaluated. Compounds 13 and 15 showed better inhibitory activity than the other compounds against both hCA I and hCA II isoenzymes, which are competing with AZA. In addition, compound 15 showed the strongest AChE inhibitory activity among all the tested compounds, with an IC50 value of 34.46 mu M.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Synthesis, Characterization, and Comprehensive in Vitro and in Silico Evaluation of the Anti-Inflammatory Potential of Novel 1,2,3-Triazole–Arylidenehydrazide/Thiazolidinone Hybrids(Wiley-VCH verlag GmbH, 2025-09) Pepe, Nihan Aktas; Cakir, Furkan; Atalay, Tugba; Acar, Busra; Turgut, Gurbet Celik; Sen, Alaattin; Senol, HalilFive novel 1,2,3-triazole/arylidenehydrazide/thiazolidinone hybrid compounds (7-11) were synthesized and characterized using NMR, HRMS, IR, and HPLC purity analysis. The cytotoxicity of these compounds was evaluated on fibroblasts and THP-1 cells, showing that all compounds were nontoxic at the tested concentrations. The wound healing assay revealed that compounds 7, 9, and 10 significantly enhanced wound closure, with a 7.74%-32.69% improvement in treated cells. Compounds 8 and 11 showed moderate effects. Anti-inflammatory activity was assessed through qRT-PCR, demonstrating that compound 10 led to the most significant reduction in proinflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, and NF-kappa B1. In addition, the expression of Iba1 protein in THP-1 cells confirmed that compound 8 showed the strongest anti-inflammatory effect, surpassing that of aspirin. Compound 10 showed the highest inhibition of NF-kappa B signaling and iNOS activity. Molecular docking studies revealed that compounds 10 and 11 had strong binding affinities to TNF-alpha and iNOS, with compound 11 showing the most stable interactions. Molecular dynamics simulations supported these findings, indicating that compound 11 demonstrated more stable binding to both targets. Overall, the results suggest that compounds 10 and 11 are promising anti-inflammatory candidates with potential for further development in therapeutic applications for inflammatory diseases.
