Özet

© 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.There are many studies in the literature on thymoquinone (TQ)-related cancer cells and models, and there is no relevant study investigating the efficacy of the oxime derivative of TQ (TQ-Ox). This study synthesized TQ-Ox and examined its cytotoxic, genotoxic and apoptotic properties in ovarian cancer cells. The structure TQ-Ox was confirmed with NMR. The cytotoxicity by luminometric ATP, intracellular reactive oxygen species (iROS) by fluorometric, intracellular calcium (iCa2+) by fluorometric, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) by flow cytometry, glutathione (GSH) levels with GSH/GSSG-Glo assay, DNA damage by comet assay, and apoptosis by acridine orange/ethidium bromide dye were determined. Concentrations of TQ-Ox were statistically increased cytotoxicity, DNA damage, apoptosis, iROS, and iCa2+ in a concentration-dependent manner (p < 0.001). Besides, MMP and GSH levels also decreased statistically significantly (p < 0.001) with increasing concentrations. TQ-Ox would be an effective treatment option by increasing cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and apoptosis in ovarian carcinoma.
