    Anticancer, antimicrobial, spectral, voltammetric and DFT studies with Cu(II) complexes of 2-hydroxy-5-methoxyacetophenone thiosemicarbazone and its N(4)-substituted derivatives
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA, 2017) Turkkan, Ercan; Sayin, Ulku; Erbilen, Nesibe; Pehlivanoglu, Suray; Erdogan, Gokce; Tasdemir, Halil Ugur; Saf, Ahmet Ozgur
    New copper complexes of 2-hydroxy-5-methoxyacetophenone thiosemicarbazone and its N(4)-substituted derivatives were synthesized and characterized by theoretical DFT studies and experimental UV-Vis, FT-IR, EPR spectral analysis, cyclic voltammetry, magnetic susceptibility and conductivity measurements. The DFT calculation results have been used to predict and interpret the experimental results. The geometric parameter G within the range of 7.61-7.86 for all complexes confirms the mononuclear nature of the complexes. The EPR, UV-Vis, DFT studies and obtained bonding parameters show that all the complexes have square planar geometry and their M-L bonds have strong ionic and some in-plane a-bond character. In addition, the experimental and DFT studies showed that HOMO and LUMO energy levels of the complexes may present good electron transporting properties. Also, the investigated Cu(II) complexes were tested for biological activity, proving both in vitro antibacterial and anticancer activity. The complexes exhibited antibacterial activity against Gram positive bacteria S. aureus while exhibiting no activities against gram negative bacteria E. toll and S. gallinarum. The f parameters obtained experimentally by EPR support the antimicrobial activity properties results of the complexes. The evaluations of potential anticancer activity of these complexes were carried out against highly metastatic MDA-MB-231 breast adenocarcinoma cell line by MTT assay. Our results suggest that all tested copper complexes have high cytotoxic effects with the range of 1.76-3.53 mu M IC50 values in vitro. These copper complexes could be considered as potential anticancer agents to counteract drug resistance of metastatic cancer cells. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Preparation of a novel PSf membrane containing rGO/PTh and its physical properties and membrane performance
    (ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2015) Saf, Ahmet Ozgur; Akin, Ilker; Zor, Erhan; Bingol, Haluk
    Recent advances in the fabrication of nanostructures such as graphene-related materials have received a lot of attention in membrane technology for the future of water supplies. Herein, we report the synthesis of a reduced graphene oxide/polythiophene (rGO/PTh) composite material using an in situ enzymatic polymerization reaction, which is an eco-friendly and a simple way to construct a nanocomposite material. Polysulfone (PSf) mixed matrix composite membranes containing rGO and rGO/PTh were prepared via a phase inversion method. The morphology of the membranes was evaluated by various characterization methods, including SEM, AFM, contact angle and porosity measurements. The performance and antifouling properties of the membranes were examined in detail. The PSf-rGO/PTh membrane showed a significant improvement in water flux permeability due to the enhancement of hydrophilicity and porosity. Moreover, the PSf-rGO/PTh membrane exhibited an approximately 10 times higher improved water flux than that of the rGO membrane as the pressure was increased. The fouling resistance ratio (FRR) and antifouling properties of the membranes were tested using two different protein solutions: bovine serum albumin (BSA) and cytochrome c (Ctc). The antifouling and FRR properties of the PSf-rGO/PTh membrane decreased due to not only the interactions between the functional groups on the membrane surface and fouling materials, but also the morphological properties of the membrane.

    Spectrophotometric and voltammetric characterization of a novel selective electroactive chemosensor for Mg2+
    (VERSITA, 2013) Zor, Erhan; Saf, Ahmet Ozgur; Bingol, Haluk
    A novel azocalix[4]arene derivative, 5,11,17,23-tetrakis[(acetophenone)azo]-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene (APC4), containing acetophenone azo groups at the upper rim was synthesized as a chemosensor. Its binding and sensing properties with alkali and alkaline earth metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+) were investigated by UV-vis spectrophotometric and voltammetric techniques. The stoichiometric ratio and the association constant were determined spectrophotometrically as 1:1 and (1.94 +/- 0.31)x10(5) L mol(-1) for the complex between Mg2+ and the chemosensor, respectively. Moreover, it was shown that the interaction between Mg2+ and the APC4 occurred by means of the phenol groups at the lower rim by voltammetric methods. The results of spectrophotometric and voltammetric experiments showed that the chromogenic chemosensor has high selectivity towards Mg2+ among the other used metal ions, especially the interfering Ca2+ ion.
