Anti-breast cancer and anti-angiogenic potential of a lichen-derived small-molecule: barbatolic acid
(Springer, 2018)Natural products have been used for centuries as the most potent remedies to cure many diseases including cancer diseases. Angiogenesis is defined as the formation of new capillaries from existing vessels and plays a key ... -
Acrylamide-derived cytotoxic, anti-proliferative, and apoptotic effects on A549 cells
(SAGE Publications LTD, 2018)Background: Acrylamide is a very common compound even reaching up to our daily foods. It has been studied in a wealth of cell lines on which it proved to have various toxic effects. Among these cell lines, human lung ... -
Photoprotective Activity of Vulpinic and Gyrophoric Acids Toward Ultraviolet B-Induced Damage in Human Keratinocytes
(Wiley, 2016)Vulpinic and gyrophoric acids are known as ultraviolet filters for natural lichen populations because of their chemical structures. However, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no reference to their cosmetic ... -
Cytotoxic Effect of Eudesmanolides Isolated from Flowers of Tanacetum vulgare ssp siculum
(MDPI, 2012)A phytochemical analysis of the dichloromethane extract from the flowers of a subspecies of Tanacetum vulgare growing in Sicily was carried out. Five known sesquiterpene lactones with the eudesmane skeleton have been ... -
Anti-lung Cancer and Anti-angiogenic Activities of New Designed Boronated Phenylalanine Metal Complexes
(Bentham Science Publ LTD, 2018)Background: Drug design and discovery studies still remain of great importance in the search for more convenient chemotherapeutic to avoid the drug resistance, systemic toxicity or the long-term side effects. Objective: A ... -
Evaluation of Multifunctional Hybrid Analogs for Stilbenes, Chalcones and Flavanones
(Bentham Science Publ LTD, 2017)Aims: In this study, discovery of novel anticancer agents acting by more than one mechanism was aimed. Method: For this purpose, eleven previously synthesized simple-stilbene, chalcone, flavanone derivatives and 31 novel ... -
Design and synthesis of novel organometallic complexes using boronated phenylalanine derivatives as potential anticancer agents
(Taylor & Francis LTD, 2019)Drug design and discovery studies are important because of the prevalence of diseases without available medical cures. New anticancer agents are particularly urgent because of the high mortality rate associated with cancer. ... -
Evaluation of the sunscreen lichen substances usnic acid and atranorin
(Inst Histol Embriol-Conicet, 2015)Usnic acid and atranorin are known as both sunscreen substances in natural lichen population and cytotoxic substances on human cell lines. Both substances were isolated from the acetone extracts of Cladonia foliacea and ... -
Lichens of Barla Mountain in Isparta, Turkey: Diversity study and ecological assessment of the area
(Taylor & Francis LTD, 2017)This study reports on 230 infrageneric lichenized and lichenicolous taxa from Barla Mountain, Isparta, Turkey and assesses the ecological features of the area using the distribution of the lichens in the region and their ... -
Insecticidal activity of major lichen compounds, (-)- and (+)-usnic acid, against the larvae of house mosquito, Culex pipiens L.
(Springer, 2008)In this research, (-)-usnic acid and (+)-usnic acid, commonly encountered lichen secondary metabolites, were evaluated for their insecticidal effects against the larvae of Culex pipiens L. (Diptera: Culicidae) under ... -
The Clastogenic Effects of Benzoyl Peroxide (Bpo) in Human Lymphocyte Cultures
(Parlar Scientific Publications (PSP), 2010)Benzoyl peroxide (BPO) is one of the important oxidant compounds used as a free radical initiator in plastic production, as a bleaching agent in food and as a drug compound of acne treatment in cosmetic and pharmaceuticals ... -
Ancient split of major genetic lineages of European Black Pine: evidence from chloroplast DNA
(Springer Heidelberg, 2016)The European Black Pine (Pinus nigra Arn.) has a long and complex history. Genetic distance and frequency analyses identified three differentiated genetic groups, which corresponded to three wide geographical areas: Westerns ... -
Ancient genetic bottleneck and Plio-Pleistocene climatic changes imprinted the phylobiogeography of European Black Pine populations
(Springer, 2017)The historical changes in European Black Pine population size across the whole natural distribution in Europe and Asia Minor were analyzed facing the Plio-Pleistocene climatic fluctuations. Thirteen chloroplast SSRs and ... -
Larvicidal activity of some secondary lichen metabolites against the mosquito Culiseta longiareolata Macquart (Diptera: Culicidae)
(Taylor & Francis LTD, 2012)The larvicidal activity of some lichen metabolites, (+)-usnic acid, atranorin, 3-hydroxyphysodic acid and gyrophoric acid, against the second and third instar larvae of the mosquito Culiseta longiareolata were studied. All ... -
Engineered wetland reactors with different media types to treat drinking water contaminated by boron (B)
(Elsevier Sci LTD, 2017)Boron (B) removal is a difficult process, and techniques based on conventional methodology mostly remove little or no B from drinking water. Therefore, an attractive, low cost, and environmental friendly treatment method ... -
Nutritional relationships between hemi-parasitic mistletoe and some of its deciduous hosts in different habitats
(Versita, 2010)Parasitism of plants by other plants provides an exceptional opportunity for investigating correlative nutritional relationships. Because of lacking a usual plant-root sytem capable of active uptake, the best correlation ... -
