The resultant structure present remarkable biological properties It was purified by column chromatography. All obtained structures were characterized with spectroscopic methods (NMR, MS, FT-IR, UV etc). Antimicrobial properties of bioactive compound were determined as well. The resultant thioanthraquinone compound has been synthesized for the first time in the literature and its applications as a biomaterial were discussed in the present study. <b> </b> </span> </p> <p> <b> </b> </p> <b> </b> <p class="Abstract" style="text-indent:0cm;line-height:150%;"> <span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;" xml:lang="en-gb">Subsequently, biodegradable electrospun mats were produced via electrospinning method for their usage in treatment as a biomaterial. Structural (FTIR), morphological (FEG-SEM) biological (antimicrobial and in-vitro tests) and mechanical (tensile testing) characterizations were conducted for these nanobiomaterials. Presenting an advantage of the novel antimicrobial compound, the produced electrospun nanobiocomposites exhibited remarkable biological, mechanical properties. With a purposeful compound synthesis and a subsequent nanobiocomposite production, the obtained electrospun mats are good canditates for biomaterials for tissue engineering purposes and wound healing materials.  </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Turkish Chemical Society}
