Gemili, Muge | Nural, Yahya | Ülger, Mahmut | Erat, Selma
In this paper, a series of novel highly functionalized 1,4-naphthoquinone 2-iminothiazole hybrids were synthesized via a cyclization reaction of 2,3-diaminonaphthalene-1,4-dione N-aroylthioureas and alpha-bromoketones in good to excellent yields (74-94%). The stereochemistry of one of the 1,4-naphthoquinone 2-iminothiazole products was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. Photophysical properties of the compounds in DMSO, HAc and THF were determined by using UV-vis spectroscopy. The ground state geometries and the absorption spectra of the compounds were also determined using Density Functional Theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) at B3LYP/631 + g(d,p) level of theory. The computed results are consistent with experimental values. An antimicrobial screening w...

Ince, Tuncay | Demir, Bunyamin | Erat, Selma | Nural, Yahya
Novel pyrrolidines linked to 1,2,3-triazole derivatives, dimethyl 1-(2 (4-R-1H 1,2,3 triazol-1-yl)-acetyl)-5,5-diphenylpyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylate, were synthesized in the presence of sodium ascorbate and copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate by click chemistry in excellent 89-95% yield. The H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, DEPT, COSY, HMQC, FT-IR, HRMS and elemental analysis techniques were used for structural characterization. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study was performed in order to determine the stereochemistry of the compounds. The optimization geometry of the compounds was obtained by performing density functional theory. However, the global reactivity parameters were estimated from frontier molecular orbitals. The calculated global reactivity parameters showed that the most reactive compoun...
Novel urea-thiourea hybrids bearing 1,4-naphthoquinone moiety: Anti-inflammatory activity on mammalian macrophages by regulating intracellular PI3K pathway, and molecular docking study
Efeoglu, Cagla | Yetkin, Derya | Nural, Yahya | Ayaz, Furkan
In this study, four novel urea-thiourea hybrids bearing 1,4-naphthoquinone moiety were synthesized by the reaction of 2,3-diaminonaphthalene-1,4-dione and various isothiocyanate derivatives in 75-88% yield, and their molecular structures were characterized by using H-1/C-13 NMR, FT-IR and HRMS techniques. Urea-thiourea hybrids have been known for their anti-inflammatory activities. Therefore, in our study, we aimed to decipher their biological activities on mammalian macrophages. Macrophages were stimulated by LPS and pro-inflammatory TNF, IL6, GMCSF and IL12p40 cytokine production levels were measured in the presence of these derivatives by ELISA. Our results suggest that these derivatives on stimulated mammalian macrophages had anti-inflammatory activities. In order to examine their intr...

Nural Yahya
In this study, three azo dyes bearing coumarin thiophene (6a-c) were synthesized, and their photophysical properties were studied via UV-vis spectroscopy in various solvents. Acidochromic properties were also investigated in DMSO/H2O, and all products showed acidochromic properties. The reversibility studies were carried out to investigate the reusability of the prepared compounds. Furthermore, products 6a-c were also investigated for their potential use as hydroxide sensors. The electric field-induced second harmonic generation (EFISH) technique was used to measure the second-order nonlinear optical properties. The thermal properties of the prepared compounds were investigated via thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results showed that the samples are thermally stable up to around 200 d...
