A Realistic View on

BAHADORI, Fatemeh | DEMİRAY, Mutlu

The review paper entitled “The Essential Medicinal Chemistry of Curcumin”, published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, by Nelson et al. (1) is a well-designed paper, presenting a new (and negative) approach to the well-known biologically active compound; curcumin. Although some arguments throughout this paper are completely true, the approach of the authors is unfortunately far from impartial, and many of the conclusions the authors draw from some of their referred papers are especially hard to accept.

Methylmethane sulfonate (MMS) is an alkylating agent that may react with DNA and damage it. We investigated histological changes and apoptosis caused by MMS and the effects of curcumin on MMS treated mouse kidneys. Twenty-four mice were divided into four equal groups: controls injected with saline, a group injected with 40 mg/kg MMS, a group injected with 40 mg/kg MMS and given 100 mg/kg curcumin by gavage, and a group given 100 mg/kg curcumin by gavage. MMS caused congestion and vacuole formation, and elevated the apoptotic index significantly, but had no other effect on kidney tissue. Curcum ...Daha fazlası

In vitro anti-candidal and anti-biofilm activity of new ethane sulfonyl hydrazone compound

ÖZTÜRK, Ali | AYDIN, Merve | ÖZDEMİR ÖZMEN, Ümmühan

Candida species cause cutaneous and systemic infections with a high mortality rate, especially in immunocompromised patients. However, the emergence of resistance to the most common antifungal drugs, also due to biofilm formation, there is an increasing need to design new and more effective antifungals with less toxic. Sulfonyl hydrazones are well-known for their pharmacological effects, such as antifungal and antibacterial potential and can act as an antinociceptive, antidepressant, antineoplastic activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-candidal and anti-biofilm activity o ...Daha fazlası
