Biological effects of substances isolated from Isoptera species
Dušková, Simona ; Hrstka, Miroslav (referee) ; Brázda, Václav (advisor)
This thesis was focused on monitoring the viability of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells after exposure of termites-isolated chemicals. Recently, evidence of antibacterial and antifungal properties of these defense substances has grown, and they can find a wide range of uses not only in the pharmaceutical industry. In this work, three defensive substances from termites were studied: nerolidol, nitropentadecene and methylanthranilate. Their antibacterial effects, minimal inhibitory concentrations and minimal bactericidal concentrations against Escherichia coli STBL3 strain were monitored. Further, their cytotoxic effects on eukaryotic non-tumor (HEK293FT) and tumor cells (MCF7) as well as their effect on plasmid DNA were studied. Antibiotic ampicillin and cytostatic cisplatin were used as control substances for antibacterial and cytotoxic effects, respectively. In the case of the action of nerolidol, nitropentadecene and methylanthranilate on the STBL3 strain, antibacterial activity was not demonstrated. Cytotoxic effects were observed nerolidol and nitropentadecene. None of the examined substances modified the plasmid DNA.

Development of special protective materials for hygienically clean areas
Seják, František ; Vyhnánková, Michaela (referee) ; Drochytka, Rostislav (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the development of special protective materials for hygienically clean plants. The main aim of the thesis is to develop a special protective material on a polymer base usable for hygienically clean industrial plants in two quality levels (economy and premium). The first of the developed polymer protective materials is physiologically harmless (economy) – suitable for contact with eatables. Second, premium material is antibacterial, especially suitable as a floor coating in hospitals, kitchens, sanitary facilities, schools and kindergarten etc. A partial aim is the replacement currently used primary raw materials as fillers by suitable secondary raw material.
