Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Organic chemistry
  • Biochemistry

Fikrettin Sahin mostly deals with Antimicrobial, Diflunisal, Stereochemistry, Hydrazide and Antibacterial agent. His research in Antimicrobial intersects with topics in Gallic acid, DPPH, Thymol and Linoleic acid. DPPH and Botany are commonly linked in his work.

His Thymol study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Satureja, Butylated hydroxytoluene, Biochemistry and Satureja hortensis. Many of his studies on Diflunisal involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Phenols. His Organic chemistry research includes themes of Food science and Essential oil.

His most cited work include:

  • In vitro antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant activities of the essential oil and methanol extracts of herbal parts and callus cultures of Satureja hortensis L. (336 citations)
  • The in vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of the essential oils and methanol extracts of endemic Thymus spathulifolius (291 citations)
  • Synthesis and biological activity of 4-thiazolidinones, thiosemicarbazides derived from diflunisal hydrazide (267 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Botany, Antimicrobial, Antibacterial agent, Astragalus species and Chemical synthesis are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Inoculation, Gallic acid, DPPH, Antioxidant and Linoleic acid. His Linoleic acid study incorporates themes from Carvacrol, Thymol and Essential oil.

Antimicrobial is a subfield of Organic chemistry that Fikrettin Sahin tackles.
