DOI : 10.26650/IstanbulJPharm.2019.19018 Capecitabine is an oral prodrug and converted to 5-fluorouracil using three-step enzymatic pathways which include carboxylesterase (CES). Interindividual differences in the activities of drug-metabolizing enzymes may affect efficacy and toxicity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association of Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in CES1 with the pharmacokinetic and adverse effects of capecitabine. Plasma samples were obtained from 7 breast and colorectal cancer patients who were treated with capecitabine-based chemotherapy (1000-1250 mg/m2) at 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours following drug administration on their first day of the first cycle. The plasma concentrations of the capecitabine were determined by using a high-pressure liquid chromatography-UV detector. SNP (rs8192950) was genotyped using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Patients were found to have heterozygote (57%), wild (29%), and mutant (14%) distributions of genotypes (p=0.909). The mean plasma area under the curve (AUC0-4h) was 4.60±2.25 µg.h/mL, and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) was 3.19±2.5 µg/mL. There were no statistically significant differences between genotypes and AUC values (p=0.2236) and the most frequently observed side effects were diarrhea (p=0.1028), asthenia (p=0.6456), anemia (p=0.6456), emesis (p=0.3499). This is the first study evaluating an association of genetic variation in CES1 (rs8192950) with pharmacokinetic and adverse effects of capecitabine. Therefore, additional study in larger groups of patients is required to support our study.

DOI : 10.26650/IstanbulJPharm.2019.435408 In this research, five propolis samples collected from Turkey were investigated to observe the correlation between botanical sources and chemical contents of the samples and in this way emphasize the influence of botanical sources of propolis on its chemical characterization. As a first step, to determine the botanical sources of the samples, microscopic analysis was performed. According to the microscopic analysis results; two samples that were collected from Rize (P1 and P2), were characterized as most probably being chesnut propolis; while one sample collected from Tekirdag (P3) was evaluated as being a mixed type, in the other Tekirdag sample (P4), the pollens belonging to the taxa of the Brassicaceae family were found as dominant. The sample collected from Sivas (P5); was also recognized as mixed type. The second step of the research was the chemical analyses of the propolis samples. According to the results; the balsamic contents of the propolis samples ranged between 59.97 and 83.31%, total phenolic contents were ranged between 27.56±0.05 and 171.93±0.28 mgGAE/g. The minimum flavone and flavonol content of 0.28±0.01% was found in the P1 sample described as chesnut propolis and colected from Rize. The maximum value 5.1±0.07% was found in the P4 sample as was total phenolic content. Flavanones and Dihydroflavonols contents varied between 6.58±0.009-12.94±0.007%. According to the GC-MS results the investigated samples contained compounds belonging to the various groups. With regard to the Excel correllation, the balsamic content showed a negative correlation with total phenolic content, flavone and flavonol content, flavanones and dihydroflavonols content.

DOI : 10.26650/IstanbulJPharm.2019.19002 This report is about an unexpected formation of N,N’-bis(substituted phenoxyacetyl) hydrazine derivatives. The reaction between N’-(4-ethylcyclohexylidene)phenoxyacetohydrazide with sulfanyl acids to obtain 4-thiazolidinones s, gave an unexpected product, N,N’-bis(phenoxyacetyl)hydrazine, with high purity instead of the expected cyclocondensation product. When repeating the reaction with p-toluenesulfonic acid under the same conditions, the reaction resulted in the same compound. This indicates that two molecules of N’-(4-ethylcyclohexylidene)phenoxyacetohydrazide were involved in the reaction. The reaction can be applied as a different and new procedure for the synthesis of several N,N’-bis(substituted phenoxyacetyl)hydrazine derivatives. Cite this article as: Apaydin CB, Cesur Z (2019).

DOI : 10.26650/IstanbulJPharm.2019.18009 Deontological violations are important in terms of reputation of public health, pharmacy profession, and protection of public finance. The aim of this study is to determine types and prevalence of deontological crimes reflected in records of High Honor Court (HHC) in Turkish Pharmacists’ Association (TPA), to develop proposals on corrective and preventive occupational policies. Crime types in disciplinary files were classified according to classification method of deontological crimes in 3-groups, and results were evaluated by frequency and percentage distributions. In the study, 32 deontological crime types and 112 criminal cases were detected. Accordingly, it was found that deontological crimes due to competition are in the first rank with 51 cases, TPA, Drug-Pharmacy Legislation violations in the second with 50 cases and Social Security Institution protocol provisions violations in the last rank with 11 cases, and in all types of crime, “collusion” is in the first rank (30.4%).It is thought that “collusion” crime being in the first rank increasing its share from 18.6% to 30.4% in all crimes despite increasing punishments. Persistence of crime despite punitive sanctions aggravated by recent regulations suggests that it is not possible to solve only by punitive sanctions, and it must be get to the bottom of the problem.

DOI : 10.26650/IstanbulJPharm.2019.18012 The methanol extracts from different parts of Rheum ribes were subjected to qualitative and quantitative phytochemical and in vitro biological activity (antioxidant, anti-urease, anticholinesterase). Qualitative phytochemical tests were performed using standard analysis methods and these studies revealed the presence of phenolics and tannins. Following this, a quantitative determination of total phenolics and tannins contents was carried out. The antioxidant activity of the extracts were assayed using DPPH, FRAP, TEAC/ABTS and CUPRAC techniques. In addition, the anti-urease and anticholinesterase activity of the extracts were examined using indophenol and Ellman methods, respectively. In this study, it was determined that the macerated flowers extract contained higher total phenolic and tannins contents than the other extracts. According to the results obtained from the antioxidant experiment, the macerated extract of flowers showed the strongest ABTS.+ scavenging and ferric reducing antioxidant power activity. The macerated leaves and Soxhlet radix extracts exhibited the strongest DPPH. scavenging and cupric reducing antioxidant activity, respectively. The young shoots extracts obtained using the Soxhlet methods showed the highest anticholinesterase activity. All extracts obtained from different parts of the plant were found to have very low anti-urease activity when compared to the anti-urease activity of standard compound. Therefore, methanol extracts from plant’s flowers, leaves and young shoots can be used as a natural antioxidant and anticholinesterase agent respectively, for the pharmaceutical and food industry in the future.

DOI : 10.26650/IstanbulJPharm.2019.418892 Callistemon citrinus is a member of Myrtaceae family that thrives under different ecological conditions. The leaves, flowers, stem backs and roots of the plant contain various phytochemicals that are useful in folk medicine for different remedies such as antimicrobial, anti-nociceptive, fungicide and anti-inflammatory purposes. In this study, we investigated the cytotoxic effect of Callistemon citrinus leaf and flower methanolic extracts against human Colo-205 Cell Line using real time cell analyzer device for monitoring in time-dependent manner. To determine the mechanism of cytotoxicity of the extracts, Western blotting assay was used for measuring evocation of Akt pathway. Extracts were found to exert cytotoxic effect at a dose dependent manner. IC50 values of leaves and flowers extract were 6.49 µg/mL and 5.22 µg/mL, respectively. At the early stages of the experiment, Akt pathway was triggered at high extract concentrations. Although, high extract concentrations showed proliferative effect at early stages, this effect reversed after 5 and 8 h resulting in low cell viability. Findings from this study therefore showed that extracts of leaf and flower from Callistemon citrinus demonstrated cytotoxic effect against Colo-205 but seems not to be related Akt signaling pathway.

In this study, we investigated the cytotoxic effect of Callistemon citrinus leaf and flower methanolic extracts against human Colo-205 Cell Line using real time cell analyzer device for monitoring in time-dependent manner. To determine the mechanism of cytotoxicity of the extracts, Western blotting assay was used for measuring evocation of Akt pathway. Extracts were found to exert cytotoxic effect at a dose dependent manner. IC50 values of leaves and flowers extract were 6.49 µg/mL and 5.22 µg/mL, respectively. At the early stages of the experiment, Akt pathway was triggered at high extract concentrations. Although, high extract concentrations showed proliferative effect at early stages, this effect reversed after 5 and 8 h resulting in low cell viability. Findings from this study therefore showed that extracts of leaf and flower from Callistemon citrinus demonstrated cytotoxic effect against Colo-205 but seems not to be related Akt signaling pathway.

DOI : 10.26650/IstanbulJPharm.2019.18005 Stimulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) causes mesenchymal stem cells of the human bone marrow differentiate into adipocytes instead of osteoblasts leading to a decreased number of osteoblasts and a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD). Thus, PPARs may have impacts on bone metabolism. 224 postmenopausal women (171 osteoporotic and osteopenic, 53 healthy control) were included in this study. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and agarose gel electrophoresis techniques were performed to detect PPARα L162V and PPARγ Pro12Ala/C161T polymorphisms. The distribution of PPARγ Pro12Ala genotype and allele frequencies was not statistically different in control and patient (osteopenic+osteoporotic) groups (p>0.05). However, in the patient group, subjects with “Pro12Pro” genotype had lower lumbar spine (L1-L4) BMD values than those with “Ala” allele (p 0.05). We suggested that PPARγ Pro12Ala and C161T gene variants might be contributing factors in the development of osteoporosis. Cite this article as : Kurt Şirin O, Yilmaz Aydogan H, Uyar M, Can A (2019). PPARγ Pro12Ala and C161T polymorphisms, but not PPARα L162V, are associated with osteoporosis risk in Turkish postmenopausal women. Istanbul J Pharm 49 (1): 14-19.
刺激过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体(PPARs)导致人骨髓间充质干细胞分化为脂肪细胞而不是成骨细胞，导致成骨细胞数量减少和骨矿物质密度(BMD)降低。因此，ppar可能对骨代谢有影响。224名绝经后妇女(骨质疏松症和骨质减少症171名，健康对照53名)纳入本研究。采用聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)和琼脂糖凝胶电泳技术检测PPARα L162V和PPARγ Pro12Ala/C161T多态性。PPARγ Pro12Ala基因型和等位基因频率在对照组和患者(骨质减少+骨质疏松)组的分布无统计学差异(p < 0.05)。然而，在患者组中，“Pro12Pro”基因型受试者的腰椎(L1-L4) BMD值低于“Ala”等位基因组(p 0.05)。我们认为PPARγ Pro12Ala和C161T基因变异可能是骨质疏松症发生的促进因素。本文引自:Kurt Şirin O, Yilmaz Aydogan H, Uyar M, Can A(2019)。PPARγ Pro12Ala和C161T多态性与土耳其绝经后妇女骨质疏松风险相关，但与PPARα L162V无关。中华医学杂志，49(1):14-19。

DOI : 10.26650/IstanbulJPharm.2019.19042 Background and aims : Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is one of the neuropsychiatric disorders of childhood and has many causes including genetic, neurobiological, environmental as well as other risk factors that can trigger the disorder. The aim of this survey is to determine the knowledge of the families about ASD, the most prescribed medications, their side effects and the alternative therapies used besides to the pharmacological treatment. Methods : This study was survey-based and conducted among parents of children with ASD (N=50). Results : Risperidone, aripiprazole, and valproate were the most prescripted drugs (64%) and weight gain (n=14), increased aggressive behavior (n=11) and drowsiness/sedation (n=11) were reported as the main side effects. Besides to pharmacological therapy, most of ASD children have used complementary and alternative medicine like gluten and casein-free diet (n =23) or the sugar diet (n=15) as well as omega-3 (n=43), multivitamins (n=40), heavy metal chelation agents (n=27), vitamin B12 (n=18), zinc (n=17) vitamin D (n=9), and probiotics (n= 7). Conclusion : It is revealed that pharmacists should be able to inform the parents about the general characteristics of ASD, to inform the parents about new treatment approaches and providing rational use of prescribed drugs in children with autism.

DOI : 10.26650/IstanbulJPharm.2019.19004 Synthetic cannabinoid abuse becomes more common in recent years, although knowledge about the risk of the relatively new synthetic cannabinoid molecules is not adequate. Data is mainly limited with new analytical methods and case reports related to their clinical effects. The studies are generally related to the cardiac effects of first defined molecules rather than every molecule in the group. The cardiac clinical effects of synthetic cannabinoid abuse and underlying mechanisms are not certain. Therefore, we aimed to investigate AM-2201, one of synthetic cannabinoids, because knowledge for AM-2201 is less than the others in this group. The cardiotoxicity and underlying mechanisms of AM-2201 were assessed on cardiac cell culture. The half-maximal inhibition concentration (IC50) values were 101.49 and 63.33 M by WST-1 and LDH assays. AM-2201 was not induced either the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) or reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. As to the measurements Annexin V-FITC and acridine orange dye, AM-2201 did not induce apoptosis and the primary cell death was necrosis. According to our results, further studies such as mechanism on cell death and cancer pathways should be investigated. You may cite this article as : Nisikli E, Celiksoz Akar M, Ozhan G (2019).

近年来，合成大麻素滥用变得越来越普遍，尽管对相对较新的合成大麻素分子的风险了解并不充分。数据主要局限于新的分析方法和与临床效果相关的病例报告。这些研究通常与第一个确定的分子的心脏作用有关，而不是与组中的每个分子有关。滥用合成大麻素对心脏的临床影响及其潜在机制尚不确定。因此，我们的目标是研究合成大麻素之一AM-2201，因为对AM-2201的了解比该组的其他大麻素少。在心脏细胞培养中评估AM-2201的心脏毒性及其潜在机制。WST-1和LDH的半最大抑制浓度(IC50)分别为101.49和63.33M。AM-2201不诱导总抗氧化能力(TAC)和活性氧(ROS)水平。Annexin V-FITC和吖啶橙染色检测显示，AM-2201不诱导细胞凋亡，细胞以坏死为主死亡。根据我们的研究结果，需要进一步研究细胞死亡机制和癌症途径。你可以将这篇文章引用为:Nisikli E, Celiksoz Akar M, Ozhan G(2019)。合成大麻素AM-2201体外心脏毒性电位的评估IstanbulJPharm 10.26650/ istanbuljpharma .2019.19004。
