    (Elsevier, 2020) Yurt, Fatma; Arslan, Tayfun; Biyiklioglu, Zekeriya; Tuncel, Ayca; Ozel, Derya; Ocakoglu, Kasim
    Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been a promising clinical agent in various types of cancer in recent years. In this study, in vitro nuclear imaging and PDT potential of Es-SubPc (Boron subphthalocyanine) were evaluated in colon adenocarcinoma cell line (HT-29) and human healthy lung fibroblast cell line (WI-38). For this purpose, the Es-SubPc was labeled with I-131 using the iodogen method under the optimum conditions resulting in labeled with high yield (98.9 +/- 1.2%). In addition, the uptake rate of I-131-Es-SubPc was determined in HT-29 and WI-38 cell lines. In comparison to the healthy cell line, the uptake of 131I-Es-SubPc was found to be 2-fold higher in the HT-29 cell line. For PDT studies, both cells were exposed to white light at 30-90 J/cm(2) in the presence of Es-SubPc. The results showed that Es-SubPc was a good PDT agent likely to be used in HT-29 cell line. As a result, Es-SubPc can be promising nuclear imaging and PDT agent for colon carcinoma.

    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2023) Dogan, Sifa; Ince, Mine; Sogutlu, Fatma; Avci, Cigir Biray; Ozel, Derya; Yurt, Fatma
    Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has the worst prognosis among breast cancers. The deficiency of hormone receptors (ER-/PR-/HER-2-) limits treatment options. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a safe treatment method for target-specific applications and has no toxic side effects. In this study, the efficacy of PDT on TNBC cells after activation of phthalocyanine derivative CoPc-COOH with RED light was investigated. The cytotoxicity of CoPc-COOH in MDA-MB-231 cells was evaluated at 24, 48, and 72 h. To detect phototoxic activity, cells were exposed simultaneously to a dose range of CoPc-COOH at 48th hours and 20, 30, 40, and 50 J/cm2 RED light in a laser source with an output fluorescence of 12 mW/cm2. The apoptotic effect of single CoPc-COOH, RED light, and their combinations were examined by using the Annexin V method and the ROS generation potential using the carboxy-H2-DCFH-DA test in flow cytometry. DCF fluorescence intensity of control and dose groups were taken under the fluorescence microscope. The IC50 values of CoPc-COOH in MDA-MB-231 cells at the 24th, 48th, and 72nd hours were calculated as 131.04 mu M, 66.75 mu M, and 59.74 mu M, respectively. In the phototoxicity test, 50 J/ cm2 application increased the IC50 dose of CoPc-COOH to 73.73 mu M; 20, 30, 40 J/cm2 application reduced the doses to 2.31 mu M, 0.20 mu M, and 28.14 mu M, respectively. Compared to the untreated group, it was determined that ROS formation and apoptotic stimulation were triggered significantly in treatment groups. A combination of CoPc-COOH and 40 J/cm2 showed the highest synergistic effect.

    Photothermal and photodynamic responses of core-shell Mo2C@C@Fucoidan nanospheres
    (Elsevier Science Sa, 2025) Tuncel, Ayca; Sert, Buse; Ozel, Derya; Kaya, Gul; Harputlu, Ersan; Unlu, Cumhur Gokhan; Ocakoglu, Kasim
    Mo2C structure, a transition metal carbide, is known for its exceptional properties including high chemical and thermal stability and surface activity. Recently, carbon-modified Mo2C structures have found widespread applications due to their effectiveness. Here, we synthesized pomegranate-like Mo2C@C nanospheres and coated them with poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and fucoidan structures. Characterization techniques including FE-SEM, HR-TEM, XRD, XPS, and zeta potential analysis were employed. We investigated the effect of Mo2C@C@Fuc nanospheres by quantitatively evaluating their photothermal conversion efficiency. Under irradiation at wavelengths of 808 nm and 1064 nm with a power intensity of 2 W/cm2, these nanospheres could convert up to 15 % of the incident laser energy into heat, outperforming conventional materials. Stability tests in various physiological pH environments confirmed their durability under NIR irradiation, ensuring operational integrity in biological environments. In addition, they showed significant efficiency in the production of singlet oxygen, making them promising agents for PDT. Biodegradation studies indicated safe degradation after ther- apeutic application, highlighting their environmental and physiological compatibility. Integrating Mo2C@C@- Fuc nanospheres into anticancer strategies combines the advantages of PTT and PDT, promising improved therapeutic outcomes with high biocompatibility.

    Synthesis of axially disubstituted silicon phthalocyanines and investigation of their in vitro cytotoxic/phototoxic anticancer activities
    (World Sci Publ Co Inc, 2021) Yurt, Fatma; Saka, Ece Tugba; Biyiklioglu, Zekeriya; Tuncel, Ayca; Ozel, Derya; Ocakoglu, Kasim
    In this study, two SiPcs have been selected and the photodynamic therapy potentials were evaluated of the Pcs. Synthesis of Axially 2-decyn-1-oxy disubstituted Es-SiPc-2 was newly synthesized by the reaction of SiPcCl2 with 2-decyn-1-ol in the presence of NaH in toluene. Furthermore, their nuclear imaging potentials were evaluated in human colon adenocarcinoma (HT-29) and human lung fibroblast cell (WI-38) cell lines. The uptake results have indicated that Es-SiPc labeled with I-131 radionuclide (I-131-Es-SiPc) was approximately 2-fold higher in the HT-29 cell line than the WI-38 cell line. In other words, the target/non-target tissue ratio is defined as two in the HT-29/WI-38 cell lines. Besides, the uptake values of I-131-Es-SiPc were found to be higher than I-131-Es-SiPc-2. I-131-Es-SiPc and I-131-Es-SiPc-2 are promising for imaging or treating colon adenocarcinoma. In vitrophotodynamic therapy (PDT) studies have shown that both compounds are suitable and can be used in this field. Also, Es-SiPc has been shown to have higher phototoxicity than Es-SiPc-2.

    (Elsevier Science Sa, 2025) Yurt, Fatma; Tuncel, Ayca; Kaya, Gul; Sert, Buse; Ozel, Derya; Harputlu, Ersan; Unlu, Cumhur Gokhan
    Studies on synthesizing MXene hybrid materials continue in medicine, biomedicine, the environment, electronics, and many other fields. MXenes are very remarkable materials for diagnosis, treatment, and theranostic applications in oncology with their hydrophilic structure, large surface area, and biocompatibility. In this study, MAX phase and Mo2CTx MXene syntheses were first carried out and characterized by XRD and HR-TEM. Then, PAH and fucoidan were coated on the MXene surface, respectively, and characterized by FE-SEM, XPS, and Zeta potential methods. Experiments on Mo2CTx-MXene@Fuc nanohybrids have identified their photothermal conversion capacity and photostability, which are crucial for photothermal therapy applications. After calibration of laser devices at 808 and 1064 nm, the nanohybrids' response to laser exposure was monitored, with temperature changes recorded via a thermal camera. Additionally, the photothermal conversion capacity was deduced from heating and cooling durations, while singlet oxygen production efficiency was evaluated using the 1,3-Diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) fluorescent probe. These findings underscore the potential of Mo2CTx-MXene@Fuc nanomaterials in photothermal therapy, particularly their efficiency in converting NIR radiation into therapeutic heat.

    The influence of central metal in phthalocyanine for photodynamic therapy of glioblastoma
    (World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2023) Oral, Ayca Tuncel; Yuzer, A. Celil; Ozel, Derya; Ince, Mine; Yurt, Fatma
    Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive and fatal brain tumor that tends to occur in older adults and has several subtypes. The fact that the mechanisms of initiation and progression of glioblastoma are not yet known is an obstacle to the treatment of the disease. For this reason, studies have been carried out in recent years to develop new therapeutic approaches. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a procedure that has been approved and is considered safe in most clinical trials. With the help of a photosensitizer (PS), tumor growth regression is promoted, aiming to prolong the survival of patients with glioma progression. It is extremely important to conduct studies focused on the development, application, and biodistribution of possible candidates for these photosensitizing drugs. Phthalocyanines (Pcs) are good photosensitizers for this purpose. Here, we describe an approach to the application of photodynamic therapy with metal-phthalocyanines [zinc-phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and cobalt-phthalocyanine (CoPc)] and their carboxylic acid derivatives in U87-MG cell lines. For the phototoxicity study, percent viability values were calculated using the MTT test. The results showed that cell death was effectively induced in U87-MG cells. In our study, the phthalocyanines applied in the in vitro treatment of glioblastoma cell lines with PDT have shown high toxicity and the treatment has been successful. Our findings highlight the potential of ZnPc-COOH and CoPc-COOH with their carboxylic acid derivatives as biological material for biomedical applications in the treatment of glioblastoma cells.

    Unveiling combat strategies against Candida spp. biofilm structures: Demonstration of photodynamic inactivation with innovative phthalocyanine derivatives
    (Elsevier Science Sa, 2024) Ozturk, Ismail; Ozel, Derya; Dogan, Sifa; Tuncel, Ayca; Yurt, Fatma; Tekintas, Yamac; Demircioglu, Perihan Kubra
    Antimicrobial resistance is an important problem for infection control and therapy. Microorganisms in biofilm structure are remarkably less susceptible to antimicrobials compared to planktonic cells. Increasing rates of resistance to antimicrobials have led to the development of new antimicrobial strategies. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an alternative treatment method that may contribute to the fields of infection control and treatment. This study aimed to investigate the antifungal activities of photosensitizers and the anti -biofilm activities of phthalocyanine derivatives on C. albicans and C. parapsilosis strains. The anti -biofilm effects of aPDT on the biofilm of Candida albicans were also visualized via SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy). Our findings showed that aPDT with phthalocyanines inhibited biofilm production levels and reduced the mature biofilm levels of Candida strains. Additionally, SEM results supported that aPDT application successfully eradicated fungal cells and inhibited the biofilm produced by C. albicans . Although more detailed experiments are needed, we suggest that the use of Pcs in aPDT may be beneficial for the treatment of biofilm-related Candida infections.
