    (Asian Pacific Organization for Cancer Prevention, 2011) Oto, Gökhan; Ekin, Suat; Özdemir, Hülya; Demir, Halit; Yaşar, Semih; Levent, Abdulkadir; Berber, İsmet; Kaki, Barış
    Aim: The present study was designed to evaluate effects of Plantago major extract on oxidative status in Wistar albino rats administrated 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA). Methods: Rats were divided into three equal groups of 6 animals each: Group 1 controls, group 2 treated with DMBA (100 mg/kg, single dose) and group 3 receiving the DMBA and the aqueous extract at 100 mg/kg/d for 60 days. Results: Significant decrease in catalase (P<0.05), carbonic anhydrase (p≤0.01), reduced glutathione (GSH) (P<0.01) and total protein (P<0.01) values was observed in the DMBA group compared with the healthy controls and DMBA + Plantago major groups. Conclusion: The results suggest preventive effects of Plantago major on DMBA induced oxidative damage in Wistar albino rats that might be due to decreased free radical generation.

    Synthesis and characterization of a new difunctional ligand and its metal complexes: An experimental, theoretical, cyclic voltammetric, and antimicrobial study
    (Taylor & Francis, 2015-07-29) Baykara, Hacı; İlhan, Salih; Öztomsuk, Abdussamet; Seyitoğlu, Mehmet Salih; Levent, Abdulkadir; Okumuş, Veysi; Dündar, Abdurrahman
    A new difunctional Schiff base ligand and its some metal complexes were synthesized. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FT-IR, UV-VIS, magnetic susceptibility measurements, molar conductivity measurements, and thermal gravimetric analysis techniques. Additionally, DPPH scavenging, metal chelating and antibacterial activity of compounds were examined via in vitro methods. The lowest DPPH scavenging activity observed by Co(II) as 36.28% and highest was ligand as 52.00%. A cyclic voltammetric study was also carried out to determine redox potentials of the compounds. Some theoretical studies such as 1H-NMR, HOMO-LUMO, and mapped electron density of the ligand were also carried out successfully.
